Makes the point that the students are supposed to do the research, the librarian is there to help them with research skills and pointers.

As a brand new school librarian I couldn't resist reading this. I liked the overall story and the fact that Mrs. Skorupski modeled skills to her students instead of just handing over information. I think kids would get a bit antsy if this was a read-aloud because there is so much text.

Very fun way to set the tone for the school year. I will be using this for 3rd graders - and maybe 4th or 2nd. I'll use it to introduce our new circulation system.

A nice library picture book featuring every school librarian's favorite fantasy librarian helping kids learn how to use a card catalog and to find the answers themselves. I don't think I'd use this in my teaching, but my day would be made if a child chose to read this.
