An overdue library book sends a little girl and an entire town into a tizzy in Stella Louella's Runaway Book. Stella's library book is due back at 5:00 and she can't find it anywhere. The thought of telling Mrs. Graham, the librarian, is more than she can bear and so the wild book chase begins. It turns out that almost everyone in town, from Officer Tim to Sal from the Fix-It-Shop, has read the book and passed it on to someone else. With its ever-increasing mayhem and message about the joys of reading, this picture book by Lisa Campbell Ernst for kids four to eight is an excellent introduction to the love of books. | Stella Louella's Runaway Book by Lisa Campbell Ernst, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters
