Please Bury Me in the Library

By: Michele, Children's Librarian

This fun title is poetry for the biblophile. Written by J. patrick Lewis and illustrated by Kyle M. Stone. My personal favorite:


What if Books had Different Names?

What if Books had different names

like Alice in...Underland?

Furious George,

Goodnight Noon,

Babar the Beaver, and

A Visit from Saint Tickle Us,

Or Winnie-the-Pooh Pooh-Poohs,

The Walrus and the Carp and Her,

The Emperor has No Clues,

or Mary had a Little Clam,

And how about Green Eggs and Spam?

Well, surely you can think of one.

Oh, what extraordinary, merry

Huckleberry Funn!
