Overview

When Sunrise Elementary advertised for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, Miss Lotta Scales knew she was perfect for the job.

Who could guard books better than a REAL dragon?

"She kept a fiery eye out to make sure no one removed any books from the shelves...
The very thought of sticky little fingers
touching
and
clutching,
pawing
and
clawing,
smearing
and
tearing
her precious books just made her hot under the collar."

The teachers, singed and scorched, formed a delegation. But not even sweet Miss Lemon could convince Miss Lotta Scales that "the library belonged to the children."

Fortunately, nearsighted Molly Brickmeyer stumbles into a copy of Snuff the Magic Dragon and reads the tale out loud. Her storytelling beckons the children back to the library and brings them face to face with the Library Dragon.

Can an open book temper the flames of the school's hot-headed librarian?

Miss Lotta Scales is a dragon who believes her job is to protect the school's library books from the children, but when she finally realizes that books are meant to be read, the dragon turns into Miss Lotty, librarian and storyteller.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
When an elementary school advertises for a "thick-skinned professional" who is "on fire with enthusiasm," it gets just that-and then some. A bespectacled, dress-wearing dragon, Miss Lotta Scales replaces all the books with spanking clean ones, and refuses to let the students ("with their gooey fingers and snotty noses") touch them. The kids' grades are "going up in smoke," but neither the principal nor the teachers can convince the headstrong dragon to let the pupils near the stacks until one myopic girl accidentally wanders into the library and begins to read a story (``Snuff the Magic Dragon'') aloud. The tale manages to soften the librarian's scaly skin-figuratively and literally. Deedy (Agatha's Feather Bed) is an accomplished storyteller, and kids will likely enjoy her frequent puns and wordplay. White heads off imminent cutesiness with droll, stylized illustrations, filled with vibrant color and lots of comical details. Ages 6-10. (Oct.)
From The Critics
The Sunrise elementary school children's librarian is a real dragon. Miss Lotta Scales believes she is perfect for the job of protecting the books in the library. After all, what could be worse than having "sticky little fingers touching and clutching, pawing and clawing, smearing and tearing her precious books." Why, the very thought made her hot under the collar. The principal and teachers all try to convince Miss Scales that the library belongs to the children, but they fail. Finally, Molly Brickmeyer succeeds and becomes the "Dragon Slayer Extraordinaire." The librarian was transformed, but not completely... The text is accompanied by wonderful drawings containing puns and humor for extra added fun.
