"But Miss Moore thought otherwise!"

This would be a great book to read before the children go into the school library for the first time.

This biography would be a perfect book to read to a class to introduce nonfiction books! It is the story of Miss Moore who developed the first room for children in a library! I loved the repetition of "Miss Moore thought otherwise" because it tied in the title in with the reading.

Rating 3/5

A picture book biography about a woman who was instrumental in giving children access to libraries. Obviously, as a future children‘s/young adult librarian, I loved it, but I also think it was well-written and illustrated. I‘m sure it will be used in many a library storytime. :)

I loved this book! I didn't realize that most libraries didn't have a book lending policy for children, let alone an area set aside for them. Miss Moore was a pioneer for the children's library. The children's room in the New York Public library was designed by her. How awesome is that?! #picturebooks
