Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian Pbk with DVD

By Jessica Spanyol

A first picture-book adventure for Carlo, the young giraffe who just loves to learn.

Carlo, the young giraffe, goes with his dad and his cat, Crackers, to the new library for the first time. Carlo loves the library with its books and posters and chairs with wheels. But he's a bit scared of the sharp-toothed crocodile librarian Mrs Chinca -- until he finds out just how much she REALLY loves books!

  • A wonderfully positive endorsement of libraries and reading.
  • A follow-up to "Carlo Likes Colours", "Carlo likes Counting" and "Carlo Likes Reading".
