A wee bit dark
Good thing this is a short listen. For kids it may not be a too dark a read, but for babies, I am uncertain if it was a good idea to listen with her. Regardless, this was an interesting read for the sitter (me).

My book Review of Escape From the Pop-up Prison Written by Michael Dahl. The main character of this book is a librarian the protector of the book. I like this book because it has fiction and it’s very interesting.

The librarian are talking with 2 persons and they ask for enter to the secret passageway and the librarian carry to the entrance. After the girl's father and the men entering with the secret hallway that leads to the library of doom. The girl is following the girl's father and the men.
in the second chapter when they enter to the secret hallway they see a huge pit after the men ask to girl's father how go to the other side and he take a book and he through the book, the book open and the pages do a long bridge "say this is the only way across" says the girl's father.
in the third chapter when the girl's father and the men can go to the other side in the middle of the platform there is a single book "there is" says one of the man. After one of the man open the book and one strange page put one of the man in a jail. After all the people who open the book come to the middle and there are screaming and yell.
In the four chapter a bright light flashes from the huge pit “it is the librarian” says the girl’s father after the girl run to his father and she say what is that and the father take her daughter and run to the exit using the long bridge the men are in the prison of the library of doom and the girl’s father and the girl go to the house.
