NEW Kids Picture Books: Day 1

If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't!
by Elise Parsley. May 2017. 40 pages.

From Amazon: "If you see a poster that says 'You Can Do Anything at the Library!', it is NOT giving you permission to put on a circus! But Magnolia doesn't see any problem with setting up her own big top. She's got a lot of gusto and one mean human cannonball routine. So what if her greatest show on Earth won't fit between the bookshelves? Elise Parsley's boldly expressive illustrations perfectly complement this mostly-librarian-approved guide on how to be everything BUT quiet in the library!"

My thoughts: This is the third book in the "Magnolia Says Don't!" series, and is just as silly as the other two. It encourages a few things that are rules in most libraries (making my kids say, "well of course you can't do that!!"), and subtly emphasizes that you can "do" anything in the library simply because of your imagination.

Recommended Age: 4-7 years
