Wild About Books is a colorful and exciting way to get young students excited about reading! In this book Molly McGrew, a librarian, accidentally drives her bookmobile to the zoo. She sets everything up to start checking books out then goes outside for a read aloud. All of the animals then become very interested in reading. They want to know how to read and where they can find books on things that might interest them, such as the Pandas wanting books on China. All of the animals love reading so much that they end up having a branch of the library built right there at the zoo!
This book could be used in several different ways. The obvious way is to get students interested in reading. The illustrations a wonderful! They are very colorful and have a lot of detail. Each page has several animals doing lots of funny things. They are all reading different types of literature as well. This could tell students that it is alright to be interested in different types of literature. It is also a rhyming book and could be used to teach that as well as patterns. Haiku's, for example, are specifically referenced in this book. I would use this book with children in grade K-2, maybe older as well depending on the lesson that would be taught.
