Read It, Don't Eat It! written and illustrated by Ian Schoenherr, Greenwillow Books, 2009, ISBN 978-0-06-172456-5
Publisher's Summary: Rhyming advice on how to take care of a library book. Very elementary instructions ("Borrow, don't steal" and "TRY not to squeal") for the most part, but there is some vocabulary that is above that level ("Don't censor, delete, or deface"). so. if you use this with younger children, as the font and illustrations would suggest, be prepared to do some heavy-duty vocabulary instruction as well. A few recommendations, such as "Be careful with it at the pool" and "Leave no trace--or at least erase" may leave the door open for the child to actually TAKE the book to the pool (not recommended for younger children) or WRITE in the book and then erase it. Just be prepared to discuss any interpretations of these rules that might come up in those bright little minds!
