Start by marking Quiet! There's a Canary in the Library as Want to Read: Want to Read savin. ant to Read. Whenever I think of Don Freeman, I always think of Corduroy the Bear (which I've somehow never read), although I did enjoy his book "Fly High, Fly Low". This book was adorable. Although a little long, I think it would be great for a toddler storytime on reading or the library. Cary is a young girl who loves going to the library and picking out books to read, recommended by Mrs. Curtis the librarian. One day, as she is reading a book about the zoo, she imagines that she is a librarian.

Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. Kids will love because most kids love stories about animals. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band.

Don Freeman was first introduced to children's literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Throughout Don Freeman’s career he was the author and illustrator of over 20 children’s books. However, his greatest influence came from the artist Honoré Daumier. Freeman studied many of Daumier’s works as well as possessed a large collection of books on the artist. He is best known for his publication of Corduroy.

Quiet! There's a Canary in the Library" also echoes the type of behavior I try to encourage in my son when we visit the library, so it is good for him to see how other people, in this case animals, are expected to behave.

A little weak word play ("I'm so proud to see you, Peacock"), a very minor diversion.

But the trouble is, not all animals get along with each other. That's where Cary's trouble begins in this lively story. Lexile: 480. Originally published: San Carlos, Calif. Golden Gate Junior Books, 1969.

This is a fun book about imagination and creativity.

A young girl visiting the library reads a book about zoo animals and imagines that she would allow all kinds of creatures to visit if she were in charge of the library. This is a fun book about imagination and creativity. I could easily picture this as a readaloud book paired with various songs about animals. The illustrations are quite striking and perfectly complement the text. sweetiegherkin, February 5, 2019.
