I plan on using this for school age storytime, I love the personalities of the children and the way the story introduces children to making stories of their own.

What a creative way of dealing with a bully! I liked how she didn’t feel sorry for herself the whole time, either. This story encourages kids to be creative and tell their own stories. Fantastic!

Follow-up to Miss Brooks Loves Books! This one shares the message that everyone has a story inside of them. Cute, but not as fun as the original.

This great companion to [b:Miss Brooks Loves Books!|7028661|Miss Brooks Loves Books! (And I Don't)|Barbara Bottner|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1439935083s/7028661.jpg|7276356] is a clever homage to the power of stories. It would be a great introduction to a unit on writing stories as well.

Imagination, snakes, defeating a bully, storytelling, a librarian, ogres, OH MY! I think the Miss Brooks books win the night! Great reads for slightly older kiddos.

Another fun story about the ways Miss Brooks inspires young people to love reading and telling stories. Makes me want to start a reading time before school :)

Barbara Bottner's Missy has trouble on her way to school when Billy Toomey always steals her hat. Miss Brooks' first-thing-in-the-morning storytime helps Missy create a way to deal with Billy the Itch.
A very human character, sprightly and engaging pictures, and a creative way to deal with bullying make this a story that will capture the attention of elementary age children.

I loved this fantastic read aloud in which the power of imagination and storytelling defeat a neighborhood bully. Missy is often late for her favorite part of the day - Miss Brooks' Story Nook - because of Billy, who picks on her as she makes her way to school. When a power outage prompts Miss Brooks to encourage the students to make up their own stories, Missy is skeptical... she likes to hear stories, not make them up! But, before she knows it, Missy is creating her very own story with a villain that she battles in real life: Billy. A great, creative conclusion to this inspiring story about the power of story make this book a must.
