From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–The charming little giraffe who starred in Carlo Likes Reading (Candlewick, 2001) and his cat visit the new library where he is intrigued by the colorful posters and the chairs on wheels. When Mrs. Chinca, the alligator librarian, appears, Carlo is at first frightened of her, but she quickly reassures him by reading to him, enlisting his help in shelving books, and issuing him a library card. When he gets home, the giraffe notices that a bite-sized piece is missing from a page of one of the books he checked out. He tells his mother, "Mrs. Chinca really does love her books." Spanyol's rousing rhythms and fun imagery ("Carlo laughed so much he got his tail in a tangle") are amplified by the bright watercolor, acrylic, and collage artwork. Amusing visual details, including sight gags of the cat's antics, provide enough interest for multiple reads.–Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
