It feels like summer has just started, and yet when I saw this new picture book, I immediately thought of the new elementary librarian that will be starting in our district this fall.
Mrs. Greer could easily be The Brilliant Ms. Bangle. She's got a lot of energy, she's exciting, and she is ready to turn the school library into the heart of the building.
The students in this story are sad to learn that their librarian has moved - and they aren't very excited about her replacement. However, just as I know Mrs. Greer will, Ms. Bangle wins her students over. By book's end they are excited for her to read them stories and find themselves lost in a good book.
Even if you are a returning librarian - or a classroom teacher with a new group of kids -this book would make a fantastic read aloud. What a fun story to start the year!
