How to Look for a Book!

K-2: How to look for a book in the library.

By Cheryl Smith, Saigling Elementary

Sometimes it can be hard to find

Just the right book that you want...

So today, we are going to think

about “detecting” a good book!

We can be book “detectives”!!!

How would a detective find a book?

How can you “spy” a great book?

Well, you have to be willing to go

EXPLORING

What do explorers do?

All the books on the shelves have wonderful stories to read or

interesting facts to learn.

So, just go exploring!

You never know what great book is out there waiting for you…

Just put your marker on the shelf, pull out a book at random, and open it up to take a look!

Once you open up a book, you may be surprised at what you find inside!

So be brave! Try something new! Be a detective! Go exploring!

Once you have checked out a book,

You want to put it someplace safe.

Remember that books are just as helpless as a baby, so we need to “baby” our books and hold them

carefully, so they will be safe.

Hooray! You have detected a book that looks wonderful. Wasn’t exploring the library a great idea?

Would a responsible person do this??

A book feels safe and secure in your

BACKPACK!!!

Books can be a best friend, if one treats them with respect and responsibly.
