5.0 out of 5 stars Just what an elementary librarian needs! January 14, 2001

By "[e-mail]"

Format:Hardcover

Mr. Wiggle's Book is a very useful tool for the elementary school librarian who is trying to make sure that children take care of their library books. The illustrations are wonderful and very realistic. I have used this book in a story time situation and the children really thought that someone had written or torn this book. After using this book, the children really seem to enjoy making sure that their library books don't end up like Mr. Wiggle's.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Ever Read to Children! May 16, 2001

By Heather Johnson

Format:Hardcover

This is my all time favorite book! When I was a child, I would get so excited about going back to school. Why? I knew on the first day of school, our Librarian would be reading to our class, "Mr. Wiggles". She would have a special "Mr. Wiggles" voice, and we all loved hearing it. When we reached the fourth grade, the Librarian said she'd no longer be reading "Mr. Wiggles" to us. We were so dissapointed, and asked her to continue. We made sure she knew we would never be too old for "Mr. Wiggles". Now that I am grown, and have a young child of my own, I read it to him. It is my son's favorite book, and our favorite time together. This book, and that Librarian, gave me the love of reading. Hopefully, it will do the same for my children. Read this book to your kids, and you will give them the gift of literacy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for library media specialists, however... September 20, 2007

By C. White

Format:Hardcover

I've used this book for the past 4 years with my K and 1st graders. It is very useful for teaching at the beginning of the year about bookcare. My "however" refers to the binding. Pages started to fall out my 2nd year using this book. That was after aproximately 10 readings. I am now on my second tape job, after another 10 readings or so. I was hoping that I'd find this library bound at this point, but it doesn't look that I way. I'll have to check into one of the re-binding companies (Turtleback, Permabound, etc) for it, I guess.
