Summary This story is about a boy who is mezmorized by the library. He found very helpful librarians who always took the time to aid with his search for a book on specific topics. The story progresses throughout Melvin's life even to after graduating high school in which the librarians come and celebrate with him.
Description of how you would use the book I would use this book to teach sequence of events. I would also use this book for an inference activity. It is also a great predition book for younger children.
