Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
Pete is spending the summer with his Grandparents on their farm and his beloved dog Larry is with him. Grandma shouts out that the bookmobile has arrived and both Pete and Larry make a dash to select a great book to read. Pete immediately snuggles up under his favourite tree, in the shade, and starts reading. Larry decides to go get himself a book inside the bookmobile and if not a book, perhaps he'll find a snack.
The librarian closes the door and off they go... yes I said they... because Larry is on board unbeknownst to the driver. Larry finds out the destination is the city library. He finds a way to enter into the building and goes searching for Pete. Wherever can he be? He unfortunately gets lost among the busy library workers and all the people enjoying the exciting things that the library has to offer. Oh my! Will poor Larry ever get re-united with his owner or will he be lost forever?
This is the latest edition in the series "Larry Gets Lost". It is written in rhyme and the illustrations are wonderful. They are colourful, expressive and engaging. Many kids may not know about bookmobiles or travelling libraries so that would be a fun thing to discover as the book is shared. I love the story which celebrates the importance of reading great books from a library no matter what style that library may be. I highly recommend it.
