Ms. Bee's Magical Bookcase

Synopsis:

Ms. Bee is a school librarian who enchants not only the children, but the principal and the caretaker of her school with her wonderful stories. Where does she get them? Are they true?

She gets them at home, on the weekend. As soon as she opens her door, she drops her bulging bag of books, lets down her hair, kicks off her sensible shoes and dances upstairs, where she opens her magic bookcase door. And out jump the dragons, and princes, and dwarfs, and the kittens without mittens, and the Three Little Pigs, and Rumpelstiltskin, and the Emperor without clothes, and Thumbelina, and Hansel and Gretel, and the Big Bad Wolf, and …

The story of Ms. Bee is “filled with the wonder, joy and magic that is reading,” says acclaimed Canadian author Eric Walters.

It is "...a delightful story that readers of all ages will warm up to and laugh out loud with," says Barbara May, past-president of the Iowa Reading Association.

This is a book that will enchant children and parents and will delight school librarians.
