I Know a Librarian Who Chewed on a Word by Laurie Knowlton

3.0

I'm kind of conflicted about what kind of review to give this book. In many ways it was very good - a new twist on the "old lady who swallowed a fly" tale. Fun illustrations, great vocabulary. But....the bun and high-necked blouse...in 2013? Really?? Librarians don't look like this anymore. They can be hip, pierced, young, MALE. I would wager no child in the targeted range for this book would even understand this old, tired stereotype.
