review 1: Lily reminds me of myself at that age--always with my nose in a book. Lily thinks that "going to the library was like going on an adventure," and that's just how I felt. While I wasn't allowed to read at the table, and I never read while brushing my teeth, like Lily does, I did read as much as I could. However, what this story emphasizes is not so much the importance of reading as the importance of keeping a balance between reading, exercise, and socialization, which Lily finds when she meets Milly. This is vital for one's physical and mental health, as I discovered when I read too much and exercised too little. For this reason I think this is a story that should be shared with all young readers. I only gave it 3 stars because, while the illustrations are bright and... more colorful, I didn't particularly like them. Aside from that, recommended.
review 2: Lily loves to read. Milly does not like to read at all. Lily does not like to do anything except read. Milly loves to explore outside. The two girls become friends and gradually grow to love the things their friends love, too.Big colorful pictures. For every big reader and for every person who says they do not like to read. “Lily read and read and read.‘There goes Library Lily,’ people began to say. ‘Always has her head in a book.’” less
