REVIEWS
Even though her characterizations are deceptively simple, the resolve of the plucky fowl and glee of the newly book-equipped animals shines through. Young bibliophiles in particular will appreciate Beeke's depiction of the library as a welcoming place of fun and possibilities. - Publishers Weekly

Deborah Bruss' Book! Book! Book! is a must-have for any home or school library. ... I find it a perfect way to introduce children to the joys of visiting the library.... another surprise comes on the last page. Tiphanie Beeke's illustrations draw the reader and the audience in.... Book! Book! Book! is a favorite that my students ask me to read again and again. 
                                    -Elementary School Librarian
A simple yet delightful tale that's well-told and well-illustrated, this is a story that parents, grandparents, teachers and story-hour librarians won't mind reading again and again, especially if they like to make barnyard noises…. Beeke's watercolor and acrylic illustrations are pleasingly simple, mimicking the drawings of children with the warmth and precision of an artist who knows how to appeal to kids while creating a style all her own. - Donna Freedman

    All the animals want is a great new book to read. But the librarian just can’t seem to understand their requests.

    “Baaah! Baaah!” says the goat.

    “Neigh! Neigh,” whinnies the horse.

    Only the hen knows exactly how to ask. But will she ever get her turn?
