A most exciting word has the whole library abuzz.  What combination of letters could possibly drive a person to do such absurd things?  Fascinated children look on as Miss Divine dines on a table, chomps down a chair, and savors a shelf-all to chase down a single word.  Written in the style of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," this book reveals the only verb that could make a librarian practically purr, and that word is READ.  --Publisher

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?  Open this oinking, braying, bright, noisy book and find out!  --Publisher
