“Library Fish loved her home on the desk of Mr. Hughes, the librarian. It was the perfect place to welcome every visitor to the library. From where she sat, Library Fish could check each book that was borrowed and returned.”

But what if Library Fish decided she wanted to learn to read herself? It would take a lot of hard work, determination, and of course, imagination…

I loved reading this book to my Franny this week. She is just starting the early signs of reading and I like to remind her how it takes a long time to learn! I found this book to be encouraging for her, that it’s a lot of work but you’ll get it!

If you decide to take a trip to the library this week, download my free library activity booklet and take it with you to explore your local library! Find it HERE!

The link to purchase the books is an Amazon Affiliate link, which means that I may receive a small compensation for promoting the book, while the price is the same for you! Win, win!
