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.
