School Library Journal - 07/25/2025 PreS-Gr 1—Can anyone ever have too many books? In this playful tribute, young readers discover that no matter the size, subject, or situation, having too many books is never a real problem. Showcasing a variety of settings, readers explore the pleasures of reading a great book, regardless of when or where. No matter if the book is hard or soft, read in the company of many or alone in a tree, the message here is that reading is for all. Rhyming couplets give the text a catchy, almost musical quality. In a couple of instances, the rhythm is interrupted by unexpected rhyming pairs that do not fit the overall rhyme scheme. Illustrations spotlight a diverse cast of readers and repeatedly reinforce the text's inclusive message that books are for anyone, anytime, and anywhere. VERDICT With sing-song cadence, spritely pacing, and a positive message, this text could be included in read-aloud lineups, but, with limited storyline or character development, this may only be of use during lesson-driven story times. Additional purchase only.—Louie Lauer - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
