Five of my favorite books for library rule and book care lessons.

The Library Dragon by Carmen Agra Deedy
When Sunrise Elementary advertised for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, Miss Lotta Scales knew she was perfect for the job.Who could guard books better than a REAL dragon?

The Wonderful thing about Hiccups by Cece Meng
It starts with a case of hiccups during story time at the library. And that leads to an outrageous and hilarious adventure involving a hippo, a little sister, an overturned ice cream cart, a librarian who’s afraid of heights, and a stack of library books that must be returned—on time and in good condition—if the narrator is going to get her very own library card. And nothing could be more wonderful than that!

But Excuse Me That Is My Book by Lauren Child
Lola has become obsessed with "Beetles, Bugs, and Butterflies, " the best book in the whole world. It's funny, it has pictures, and it is "very great and extremely very interesting." It's the only book she wants to take out of the library.What will she do when she discovers that somebody else has borrowed her book?

Stella Louella's Runaway Book by Lisa Campbell Ernst
Stella Louella can't find her library book and it is due by five-o-clock!!! She and her family and friends go on a search that takes them all over town. Will they find it in time? And can you figure out the name of that missing library book from the clues they give you along the way? I'll bet you can!!!

Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen
Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how.




Looking for something beyond a story telling?  Add a video or colouring sheets to bring the lesson home.


Simon's Book Disaster video is another way to grab their attention and still get your message across.  From http://goanimate.com/.  YouTube has many more videos, or you can always create your own and customize the rules to your library space.
