Very adorable book about the class pet. He'd like to be a student rather than the class pet though! My son started kindergarten a little over a month ago and he loved this book!

I.Q. (a mouse) gets to go to the library to choose a book for the first time. He learns all about the wonders of the library (puppets! computers!) and learns how books are organized, and how to take care of them. But what he really cares about is finding the funny book the librarian read so he can take it home. We're all cheering when he finally gets the book he wants and gets to take it home and read "until his eyes water and his tail curls."

A great book to introduce all the things that you can find in a library. True some of the activities are outdated, or not included at your library, that can open the discussion about the differences between the library in the book and your library that you use.

A little outdated but still cute!

I only give this book two stars because it didn't go over well with my kindergartners today. I chose to read it to them because I really enjoyed reading I.Q. Goes to School myself and I thought this would be a fun one for the kids. Not so much. It wasn't particularly engaging for them—it doesn't rhyme, and my kids really seem to enjoy the rhyming books more—and it talked about a lot of things that we don't have in our library (magazines, puppets, tapes, etc.), so it wasn't applicable to their library experience.

Now, if you were to sit with your child one on one and read this book, I think they would enjoy it. I like I.Q. as a character and I think his being a mouse really makes this a fun story for them. It just didn't work in my group setting.

**EDIT**
My second graders enjoyed this story much more. Our library seemed a wee bit boring after all the talk of puppets and DVDs in I.Q.'s library, but it was a great way to compare and contrast the different things in the libraries and discuss how every library is different. So I've bumped this up to 3 stars.
