(3) K-3 If she were the librarian, Cary would allow all the animals "to come in and browse." As she welcomes a parade of creatures into the reading room, readers know pandemonium will break loose. Luckily, a canary with a piercing song comes to the rescue. Freeman contrasts more detailed drawings of the actual library with childlike crayoned depictions of Cary's daydreamed adventure.
