Although I said that I would be sharing PROFESSIONAL materials for teacher-librarians, I HAD to share this one with the list--- especially after a visit from a "super-hyper" child who visited the CML yesterday afternoon. While we don't have many children who come during the regular school hours, we often have many children who visit with their parents (students or professors) after school and during the evening!! This little "ball of energy" reminded me of Tess in the book, "No T. Rex in the Library" --- interestingly enough MY visitor came to the library on a TUESDAY, too !! (???) ************************************** Review: It's Tuesday morning in the library and Tess is visiting the library--- or rather, destroying it!! In fact, Tess is out of control!! When her mother places her in "time-out," Tess continues wiggling and squirming until she leans back in her chair and accidentally knocks over the book cart filled with books. On the floor topples a dinosaur book with an energetic dinosaur eager to continue the rampage throughout the library. What a thrill for Tess to travel through some of her favorite stories as she and the monsterous creature pounce from one adventure to another---that is, until Tess realizes that this dinosaur has LOST CONTROL--- it's time for a dinosaur TIME OUT!! Toni's colorfully creative depiction of "the monster child in the library" will bring giggles to young readers as they recognize some of the misadventures that Tess and her dinosaur have until both are placed in "time out." For elementary and preschool teacher-librarians who are searching for that perfect book to share with new library users (Pre-K through 1st grade), THIS book will definitely serve as a humorous reminder of how to behave in the school library. A definite MUST-HAVE for that "back-to-school" story time transition book that leads young library users into learning how to behave in the school library! (Wish I had this one ready to give to "Mommy" yesterday to share with her "little monster!") **************************************** ~Shonda -- Shonda Brisco Assistant Professor / Curriculum Materials Librarian Mary L.
