White Read Aloud Award\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt started the summer of 2002, when the Springfield librarian, Molly McGrew, by mistake   drove her bookmobile into the zoo.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this rollicking rhymed story, Molly introduces   birds and beasts to this new something called reading. She finds the perfect book   for every animal—tall books for giraffes, tiny ones for crickets. “She even found   waterproof books for the otter, who never went swimming without Harry Potter.” In   no time at all, Molly has them “forsaking their niches, their nests, and their nooks,”   going “wild, simply wild, about wonderful books.” Judy Sierra’s funny animal tale   coupled with Marc Brown’s lush, fanciful paintings will have the same effect on young   Homo sapiens. Altogether, it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys!\u003cb\u003eJudy Sierra\u003c\/b\u003e is the acclaimed author of more than forty picture books, including the award-winning \u003ci\u003eWild About Books\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eZooZical\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMind Your Manners, B.B.

Her writing for children is enriched by her work as a puppeteer, storyteller, and folklore scholar. Judy lives and writes in Portland, Oregon.

Drawing upon his classical training at the Cleveland   Institute of Art, Marc Brown’s colorful paintings for \u003ci\u003eWild About Books\u003c\/i\u003e reflect the   naïve spirit of folk art at its best. “Judy Sierra’s story gave me the opportunity   to indulge myself in painting,” said Mr. Brown, adding that this is the book of which   he is most proud. He lives in Hingham and Martha’s Vineyard, MA.","brand":"Knopf Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304676249829,"sku":"NP9780375825385","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780375825385.jpg?v=1767744305","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/wild-about-books-isbn-9780375825385","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
