Illustrated by
Lynn Munsinger.
Because he's her babysitter, Beatrice's big brother Henry has to take her along when he goes to the library to do his homework. But Bea has no use for books or libraries, and she gives Henry plenty of trouble. Then they discover story time, and--not too surprisingly--she's hooked. Munsinger's dog characters have very expressive faces, making Bea's antics especially funny.
