A follow-up to the original title (My Name is Not Isabella), Isabella: Star of the Story sees the main character insist that her name is not Isabella as she roams through the library and characters of beloved children's classics. As with the original, there is plenty of opportunity for discussion and helping children make connections to the real books referenced (which kids may or may not understand), though diversity in titles would be welcome. A solid addition to the genre of library/book-themed books.

I love a good story about a library and this one counts. Isabella is at the library, and she is not Isabella. One moment she is Peter Pan, then Captain Nemo, and even Alice in Wonderland. She knows that when you read you can go on any adventure to places near and far, and that if you have a Library Card, those adventures are usually free. This book has great illustrations, a cute story and is not too long to read at Toddler Time. It even has a short synopsis about each book mentioned.
