Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I don’t)

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s ready to introduce you to one of the newest heroines (anti heroines?) of children’s literature, Missy, who doesn’t like any of the books the other kids like.  She finds them too flowery, too furry, too clickety, too yippity!  She knows there’s no book she’ll ever like.  But then Miss Brooks, the librarian who tries everything to get the children excited about books—even dressing in costume for each reading—(Missy thinks she gets I too excited and thinks the costumes must make her itch)—Miss Brooks gives Missy a bunch of books to take home so Missy can choose one to talk about during their Book Week get-together.  When her mother tells her she’s as stubborn as a wart, Missy finds a subject she does find interesting and a book to go with it—a book about an ugly ogre who snorts!  Warts…snorts…(“Can you read it again, Mom?”)  Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I don’t) is a winner, especially for the reluctant listener!  You’ll find it at Otto’s, 'a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.'
