Selected to Bank Street College of Education's list of Best Children's Books of the Year!"Emotions run high in this volume about a child's deep attachment giving way to sharing... Elbee's take on the emotional attachment that readers form with books feels apt, and a final portrait of Daryl discovering that books can be shared pays ample tribute to libraries." -- Publishers WeeklyDaryl loves to play with his favorite library book about dinosaurs.
