My Review: It has been a while since I have had the opportunity to pick up a children's book but this one caught my eye immediately. I love the concept and idea, you never know what kids can come up with and it makes for a great conversation starter. It is full of fun and silly ideas of what could be put in a library and it will get those creative minds running. I loved the illustrations, they were bold and bright and will be great at capturing the attention of even the youngest readers. It is short and easy to read, perfect for those never ending bedtime story times. All in all a fun book to add to your collection.

A fun way of looking at libraries and our relationship with story. Flights of fancy and wildly imaginative images.

As a Little Free Library steward, I absolutely adored this book! How cute and creative! The illustrations and concepts in the book were great and I think it would make a great addition to any LFL to inspire future stewards.

This is a children's book that I read to my twin boys. The picture of this book was so cute, and I have to say my boys laughed so much while I was reading this book. I loved the idea about a kids wanting to built a library. I just hate water and ice cream near books, but that is just the book lover in me coming out. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Capstone Editions) or author (Lindsay Leslie) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Step by step, "you" are guided through building the most magically magnificent library you can imagine. Want to add dragons or fairies? Sure!

The delightful illustrations--especially of the little girl and dragon--made me smile all by themselves. But the story is all about throwing your arms wide, opening your heart, and building a library filled to the rafters (in every corner) with books and things to make reading a cozy, adventurous, amazing, experience. A place you don't want to escape from; it is so wonderful, it becomes part of the book, and characters you have befriended from other stories might gather to enjoy the book with you!

I look forward to the publication of this book, so I can add it to my own library. Though humble right now, I am considering the addition of a few dragons, cowpokes, and more than a few space-people. I'm going to need more room!

If you are still "on the fence" about building a library, I suggest that you read the book immediately. Who knows how many knights, giants, dragons, or sloths, there are or when they will run out?

5/5 Stars Best of its kind!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the preview of this wonderful (e)book!

Oh wow!
This was a fun and beautiful book!
I got this after seeing many bookstagrammers post about it, and it is so damn good, and the illustrations are so immaculate and perfect!
A perfect read for little kids (and grown ups)!

I don't read a lot of children's books but this one looked too cute to pass up! So You Want To Build a Library is an adorably cute, short, simple, picture book that is relatable and inclusive! I would definitely recommend this book to people of all ages!
