From the day she was born, Lil had a book in her hand ... so it's no surprise when she grows up to become a librarian herself. She even manages to turn the people of Chesterville—who are couch potatoes—into readers. But then Bust-'em-up Bill roars into town with his motorcycle gang. Just mention reading to him and you're toast. Has Lil finally met her match? This original tall tale by a real-life librarian, combined with Steven Kellogg's trademark humor, is better than any TV show! "A librarian's favorite fantasy... The silliness of both story and pictures are perfectly matched... A winner for storytimes anywhere." —School Library Journal, starred review "This love story about books is enough to make anyone wish for a permanent TV blackout!" —Children's Literature
