The Bad Seed Goes to the Library is the story of Bad Seed learning the ins-and-outs of good patron behavior, how to be respectful of noise levels, other patrons, and book due dates all with that charming Bad Seed twist of never quite learning the lesson, but coming quite close. The illustrations are delightful in this emerging reader addition to the Bad Seed stories. Bad Seed’s expressions are mischievous and joyful, adding to the fun of reading this story. This beginning reader has quite a few words per page, but overall this would be a good story to read with the help of an adult. Good for more confident emerging readers, a worthwhile addition to any library collection.
