Miss Brooks Loves Books! (and I don’t) (By Barbara Bottner) – Miss Brooks, the school librarian, loves books but one little girl named Missy does not. Miss Brooks says that all the kids will have to pick a favorite story, wear a costume and tell everyone why the love the book. But Missy thinks she’ll never find a book to love. When her mom says she’s “as stubborn as a wart,” Missy gets an idea. She would like to read a story about warts! So she finds a book called “Shrek!” and she and her mom read it over and over again. Missy has found a book she loves and Miss Brooks is glad. Miss Brooks explains that everyone can find something to love at the library.
