What Happened to Marion's Book?

Marion spills jam on her library book at breakfast. Her frantic cleaning efforts—funny and a little alarming—teach young readers how (and how not) to care for library books. A favorite with younger students.

From the book

Marion loves books, and she has all kinds. She has storybooks. She has joke books. She has picture books. She has poetry books. Marion has books about animals, and cars and places far away.

Marion takes her books everywhere. She reads a lot! Marion reads her favorite book in the morning at the breakfast table. She takes her books outside when she plays. She reads in the car. Sometimes she even reads in the bathtub! Finally, if she isn’t too tired, she reads them one more time right before bed!
