From the publisher
Cary knows what she would do if she were the librarian. She’d invite all the animals into the library and share her favorite books with lions, bears, peacocks, and monkeys. But the trouble is, not all animals get along with each other. That’s where Cary’s trouble begins in this lively story from the creator of “Corduroy.”
