A Library Book for Bear
作者：邦妮．貝克
Bear does not want to go to the library. He is quite sure he already has all the books he will ever need. Yet the relentlessly cheery Mouse, small and gray and bright-eyed, thinks different. When Bear reluctantly agrees to go with his friend to the big library, neither rocket ships nor wooden canoes are enough for Bear’s picky tastes. How will Mouse ever find the perfect book for Bear? Children will giggle themselves silly as Bear’s arguments give way to his inevitable curiosity, leading up to a satisfying story hour and a humorously just-right library book.
圖書館是個好地方
《大熊去圖書館》提出了一個角度讓小讀者思考。主角大熊認為自己擁有七本書就夠了，他覺得不需要去圖書館，好朋友小老鼠再三邀請，他才勉強跟着。大熊看到圖書館裏成千上萬的圖書，只覺眼花繚亂，不知怎樣選擇。直至聽到圖書館職員講故事的時候，大熊才發現原來不同圖書有不同趣味。最後，大熊改變固有觀念，嘗試借不同主題的圖書回家去閱讀。有趣的故事，以輕鬆手法告訴小朋友，閱讀要勇於嘗試，不要侷限自己的閱讀範圍。
