Summary: Isabella is NOT Isabella. At least not when she is at the library. As she picks out books she becomes Dorothy, Captain Nemo, Black Beauty, Peter Pan, and Goldilocks.
Attention Span/reading level: My three year old loved it, though she didn't understand all the references. We read it three times in a row at her request and 10 minutes later she read it again with her Dad.
Good uses for book in teaching: Imagination, classic literature, about the library
Favorite part:
Child: She loved pointing out the different characters each time they changed.
Mine: The references to many classical works of literature. That her parents are involved and read with her.

Least favorite part: None:
Warnings/negative feedback: None.
Review: This book was super cute, especially since I'm a book lover. I loved that Isabella imagined herself as all these different characters as she picked out books. I want my daughter to have this kind of imagination and so it was great for her to see an example of someone her age using their imagination at the library. I know she didn't get all the references (not having read 20,000 Leagues under the sea, etc), but she still loved it.
Warnings/negative feedback: None.
