Bear Jack, his rabbit friend Angie, and mouse Melden duck out of their chores to sneak off to story hour at the library. Their deception catches up with them--but not because they are found out: it's a case of troubled conscience. Simple, comic scenes are painted in warm watercolors. Told in spare prose, this unabashed tribute to libraries and reading will be a sure choice for reading aloud.
