This book is about all different kinds of books, small, big, short, long... And then at the end tells you how to find books and how you can search for books on the computer.
Four entries - all very short and easy for the youngest beginning readers. My favorite bit is the poster by Jerry Pinkney, Everyone for Books, for Book Week 1994. The non-fiction about libraries is somewhat dated.
These spineless 'language arts' books used in classrooms aren't generally used in libraries... but many are delightful.
