When the Library Lights Go Out

 

When the Library Lights Go Out by Megan McDonald and Katherine Tillotson   40 pages

It’s night time at the library. All the people have gone home, and it’s very, very quite. Well, except for Lion’s snoring. 

Rabbit can’t sleep; he wants to go an adventure! Lion won’t wake up. He digs deeper in puppet box, looking for Hermit Crab. He wants Hermit Crab to tell him a “get-sleepy story.”  But he can’t find Hermit Crab.

Rabbit looks all over the Library, but he can’t find Hermit Crab. He makes enough noise to wake up Lion. By now, Rabbit knows that Hermit Crab is G-O-N-E or L-O-S-T! Lion and Rabbit begin to explore the library in search of their friend.

A cute little story, I was attracted to it because of Rabbit, who is just adorable, and I work in a library.  I think it could have been a little deeper, therefore “When the Library Lights Go Out” receives 3 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
