Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian

Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian by Spanyol, Jessica. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780763625269.

In a simple storybook adventure, curious Carlo discovers the joys of the library with the help of a gentle (if toothy) librarian. Carlo the giraffe is making his first visit to the new library. "Wow!" he says when he sees all the books, the colorful posters, and especially the chairs with wheels. But Carlo is a little afraid of the librarian, Mrs. Chinca, with her sharp teeth and claws, until he learns how much she loves books. With bright illustrations and a cheery text, Jessica Spanyol offers preschoolers a spirited introduction to the library — and a really nice librarian.
