Charlie’s Pick

Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren’t any rules about lions in the library. Michelle Knudsen’s disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.

The cover of Slinky Malinki by Lynley Dodd, showing a sleek black cat walking along a green picket fence at night with a stolen orange glove in its mouth, silhouetted against a glowing moon.
