Goodreads description--Tiny likes to go places with his best friend. But when they go to the library, Tiny has to wait outside. Soon it's time to bring the books home. Tiny is a very big help! Not since Clifford has a big dog been so appealing!

As I've discussed, my son, who is 6 years old, is a reluctant reader. He doesn't love it. He melts down over how long books are. Yet he's doing a great job at actually reading.

Tiny Goes to the Library wasn't a book that he was excited about reading. They can't all be books that we're excited about, right? At least at this stage the books are all short and easy to read. He's doing really well. I didn't notice as much repetition in phonetic sounds or specific words in this book as I have with some other early readers. He did get to read "Tiny" and "library" over and over. So those were two words that he gained some familiarity with.

In the end, I think Tiny Goes to the Library gets 3 Stars. It wasn't bad, but I wasn't blown away by the story or the vocabulary building/phonetic skills. This was just an okay addition to our early reader library. Have you read Tiny Goes to the Library? What did you think? Let me know!
