With this simple book, I&#8217;ve found a delightful and fun way to talk with preschool kids on library tours how to treat books in the library.  This book will be perfect!  It gives the message in a quick and entertaining way.<\/p>\n<p>The message is simple:  Treat books nicely.  For example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t overdue it,<br \/>\njust renew it.<br \/>\n(Really, now, there&#8217;s nothing to it.)<br \/>\nLeave no trace<br \/>\n(or at least erase).<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t censor, delete, or deface.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not a platter, or a stool.<br \/>\nBe careful with it at the pool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, with the words alone, it wouldn&#8217;t be such a gem.  The pictures make the book, with fuzzy round big-eyed animals doing outrageous things to library books, and one bear in particular trying to help them stop.<\/p>\n<p>Kids seeing the book will definitely want to side with the nice bear and, like him, take to heart the message at the end:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Share with a friend, a sister, a brother.<br \/>\nNow go out and get another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0061724556\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/read_it_dont_eat_it.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/read_it_dont_eat_it.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read It, Don&#8217;t Eat It! by Ian Schoenherr Greenwillow Books (HarperCollins), 2009. 32 pages.
