Stella Louella's Runaway Book

34 pp. | Simon | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81883-1 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Stella Louella, her family, and friends search the neighborhood for her missing library book. A cumulative tale, the story gains momentum as a letter carrier, police officer, athlete, and others join the hunt, sharing their own favorite parts of the lost book. Pen-and-ink and pastel illustrations accelerate the somewhat contrived and overlong story, but librarians will welcome this take on overdue books.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
