review 1: Lily is a little girl who loves to read, and when her mom got her a library card, she could not stop reading. She would read at night under her blankets, in the morning while brushing her teeth, and when her mother was even talking to her! She read through all the seasons, and when summertime came, she would rather read than play at the park. Until one day at the playground, she met a little girl named Milly, who did not like to read at all and thought it was so boring! The girls instantly became friends and would take each other on adventures for the rest of the summer! Milly would show Lily different places to explore outside, and Lily would show Milly how to have an adventure from reading a book. I think this story is a very charming read and would be great for young... moreer readers, from kindergarten to around second or third grade. The story would be a very useful tool in getting children excited and curious about reading and the adventures that you can embark on while reading. However, it can also be used to show children that there needs to be a balance between reading and playing with friends and doing other necessary day to day things (like listening to your mother!) I could definitely use this story to encourage reading alone and with others, and to inspire children to have adventures and share moments with their friends and family.

review 2: I am a narcissistic librarian; if you publish a book about libraries and/or reading, I will probably buy it. And I'm not the only one out there. Bias aside, this book is incredibly charming.Lily loves to read, but when mom makes her stop to play, she realizes it's fun to explore in the real world too. Alternatively, her new friend Milly learns that books are adventures too! A wonderful story to introduce balancing reading and real-world fun. One of my favorite spreads is when the two girls are using a book to learn about their world; fantastic examples for budding bookworms. less
