This simply written entry in the My Community: Places series uses short, present-tense sentences ideal for very young children and beginning readers. . . . The pictures work best as illustrations in the back matter. The combination pictorial and written glossary shows abstract words, soft and informati[ve], and an “At the Library” page depicts objects and people commonly found in this community space. The book’s gentle, positive tone will help youngsters understand libraries’ many uses and leave them itching for a visit.
