THE LIBRARIAN FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, by Mike Thaler
AR Level: 3.2 Points: .5
In true "Black Lagoon" form, this book is all about some of a child’s worst fears coming to life—this time in the form of the school librarian. Mrs. Beamster, or "The Laminator" as she is lovingly known by the students—is rumored to laminate you if you talk in the library. She bolts the books together to keep them in alphabetical order, and has rubber stamps on the soles of her shoes. She shows photos of the same annual vacation—to the Library of Congress, and her computer uses a REAL mouse. However, also in true "Black Lagoon" form, when the class actually makes its way to the library, they find the librarian as well as the library, to be warm and inviting—nothing to fear at all.
Teachers: This would be a great book to use as a read aloud during the first week of school.
