It seems as though the boy has considered everything, but will it persuade Ms. Reeder? The boy's peppy, if somewhat lengthy narrative—directed toward Ms. Reeder and incorporating a refrained, persistent plea (\"Can I? PLEASE?!\")—is a fun read with a humorous concluding twist. Colorful, animated illustrations depict expressive, enthusiastic Woolly in both described and imagined scenarios.

Filled with funny images and ideas, as well as wacky colored illustrations, \"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder?\" is a wonderful foray in to the fantastic and preposterous. Not only does it become evident that Woolly would not really make a good library page, there also are hints that Woolly might have hidden talents that can help him to help Ms. Reeder to enforce some good library practices on some less considerate library patrons, including the stingy Mayor Pinchpenny. Stuffed with hyperbole and inflated with in-jokes for library patrons, the total effect of \"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder?\" is ridiculous and hilarious. The author has written several similar titles including \"Can I Bring My Pterodactyl to School, Ms. Johnson?\" and also plans an upcoming title about (perhaps) a saber-toothed tiger? Stay tuned to this innovative, side-splitting series of educational books for children ages 5-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortland Book Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a young boy wants to bring Woolly to the library, he has to ask permission from the librarian. Woolly is no ordinary pet—he is a woolly mammoth! In this story, a boy presents reasons why his giant friend should be allowed inside the Washington Public Library. While getting a library card, Woolly can practice his writing skills. After picking out a \"mammoth-sized\" pile of books to read, he might need to be reminded of the rules—no bellowing or thumping in the library! Woolly can reach the top of the stacks to reshelf books. Instead of reading to Cuddly Teddy in the reading corner, kids can read to Cuddly Woolly! Author Lois Grambling has written more than 20 children's books, including \u003cem\u003eCan I Bring My Pterodactyl to School, Ms. Johnson?\u003c\/em\u003e. Judy Love's illustrations are phenomenal, and the level of detail is incredible. Parents and teachers can use the book's format to encourage kids to come up with their own reasons why their pet should be able to do something fun. Furthermore, thinking about a huge mammoth in the library will inspire beginning readers to visit their local branch.\u003cem\u003e –Kathryn Franklin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Grambling's earlier books, the young narrator of this persuasive text finds logic in every possible reason to achieve his objective. If only every library had a woolly mammoth. He would learn how to write and apply for a library card, learn not to thump or bellow (it's against the rules), shelve books on the topmost shelf, help check out books, and perhaps provide a soft spot to read for the youngest visitors. At the storybook costume party, he would also make a great \"Little Red Woolly Hood,\" complete with enormous red cape and a basket with checkered napkin. A succession of illustrations captures an old-fashioned small-town library, the enormity of a sensitive cartoon mammoth, and the humor of the ridiculous in each watercolor painting. Text in bold emphasizes the narrator's insistent voice to the final page, as readers are invited to imagine the possibilities of yet another unusual addition to the library staff. For lovers of woolly mammoths and impossibly fantastic \"whoppers,\" and readers in all libraries, this is a welcome purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cvr.jpg?v=1453996199\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/can-i-bring-woolly-hires.zip?15351783294128505589\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-282-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-281-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-022-5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5-8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e⁄\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2016-01-28T11:17:00-05:00","created_at":"2016-01-28T10:49:07-05:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 3-6","Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Fiction","Browse by Format_Picture Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Animals \u0026 Dinosaurs","Browse by Subject_Humor","Browse by Subject_Story Time \u0026 Play"],"price":795,"price_min":795,"price_max":795,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":14403670023,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"92827","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder? - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":795,"weight":179,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":10,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-58089-282-7","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/charlesbridgemoves.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cover.jpg?v=1586787503"],"featured_image":"\/\/charlesbridgemoves.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cover.jpg?v=1586787503","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder? book cover","id":2454025437263,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.772,"height":777,"width":600,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgemoves.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cover.jpg?v=1586787503"},"aspect_ratio":0.772,"height":777,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/charlesbridgemoves.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cover.jpg?v=1586787503","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/lois-grambling\" title=\"Lois Grambling bio\"\u003eLois G.

Stuffed with hyperbole and inflated with in-jokes for library patrons, the total effect of \"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder?\" is ridiculous and hilarious. The author has written several similar titles including \"Can I Bring My Pterodactyl to School, Ms. Johnson?\" and also plans an upcoming title about (perhaps) a saber-toothed tiger? Stay tuned to this innovative, side-splitting series of educational books for children ages 5-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortland Book Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a young boy wants to bring Woolly to the library, he has to ask permission from the librarian. Woolly is no ordinary pet—he is a woolly mammoth! In this story, a boy presents reasons why his giant friend should be allowed inside the Washington Public Library. While getting a library card, Woolly can practice his writing skills. After picking out a \"mammoth-sized\" pile of books to read, he might need to be reminded of the rules—no bellowing or thumping in the library! Woolly can reach the top of the stacks to reshelf books. Instead of reading to Cuddly Teddy in the reading corner, kids can read to Cuddly Woolly! Author Lois Grambling has written more than 20 children's books, including \u003cem\u003eCan I Bring My Pterodactyl to School, Ms. Johnson?\u003c\/em\u003e. Judy Love's illustrations are phenomenal, and the level of detail is incredible. Parents and teachers can use the book's format to encourage kids to come up with their own reasons why their pet should be able to do something fun. Furthermore, thinking about a huge mammoth in the library will inspire beginning readers to visit their local branch.\u003cem\u003e –Kathryn Franklin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Grambling's earlier books, the young narrator of this persuasive text finds logic in every possible reason to achieve his objective. If only every library had a woolly mammoth. He would learn how to write and apply for a library card, learn not to thump or bellow (it's against the rules), shelve books on the topmost shelf, help check out books, and perhaps provide a soft spot to read for the youngest visitors. At the storybook costume party, he would also make a great \"Little Red Woolly Hood,\" complete with enormous red cape and a basket with checkered napkin. A succession of illustrations captures an old-fashioned small-town library, the enormity of a sensitive cartoon mammoth, and the humor of the ridiculous in each watercolor painting. Text in bold emphasizes the narrator's insistent voice to the final page, as readers are invited to imagine the possibilities of yet another unusual addition to the library staff. For lovers of woolly mammoths and impossibly fantastic \"whoppers,\" and readers in all libraries, this is a welcome purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cvr.jpg?v=1453996199\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/can-i-bring-woolly-hires.zip?15351783294128505589\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-282-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-281-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-022-5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5-8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e⁄\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]"}
