Library Mouse

Sam the mouse lives in the library and reads books at night. Sam loves all genres of books, and one night he decides to write his own stories. Sam begins leaving his books one by one on the library shelves for the children to read. The books become so popular with the children that they want to meet the author of these mysterious additions to the library shelves. The librarian leaves a note for the author, asking to meet him. Sam has a surprise answer in store!

Love when the kids look in and see themselves as authors. I will definitely use this book in years to come to encourage young writers.
