I absolutely love this book! What a well thought out and original story! This could really connect with todays kids to have them feel a sense of responsibility with library books, their care and getting them back for others to enjoy.
I will definitely recommend this story

This is the perfect book to read at the beginning of the school year! It’s the perfect blend of lesson and humor.

This is such a fun and cute book! It reminded me of Jory John's series. This is definitely a great read aloud to encourage young readers in your classroom to both read the books in your classroom library and return them! I have to admit I was a little worried about the book at Sebastien's house. But I'm glad Sebastien finally found the book at just the right time. It just shows that the love of reading can kick in at any time. I can see this being a intro to the school library classic.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read and review Overdue by Gloria Koster. I found this to be cute book that children would love to hear out loud. I'm giving this title a 4 stars out of 5.

I loved this book it was so cute. It teaches children how amazing reading is and how to properly take care of books. This would be a great read for librarians to read to groups of children before they borrow from a school library!

Cute book!
The art was great (impressive lighting techniques), the story was cute, and the message was heartwarming. It definitely was giving: kids can (and will) find books they truly enjoy and then develop a love for reading and literature. At the same time, it can teach a fun-sized lesson about consequences and how to solve certain problems. For example, Sebastian's book is way overdue and he and his siblings lose movie night privileges as a result.
All in all, this book was entertaining and cute, I would just recommend editing some of the dialogue to make it less suggestive and more appropriate for the intended audience...kids.

Super cute book! Contains a good life lesson to respect books but presents it in a fun way for kids. My kids loved it!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! This was an adorable story that all book lovers can appreciate! The adventures of an elementary school library book- now those books go on quite the adventure! Every library lover goes through a book being overdue and trying to find it (especially young readers) and it was cute to see this through the books perspective. Books just want to be read and not hidden away on a shelf! Absolutely adorable!

Adorable book that is the “Toy Story” of books. It’s the account of a book’s journey once it’s been borrowed. Told through its perspective it’s funny and entertaining.

This was a cute boo and paired with a perfect message for all the students who check out their books from their school library, local library or classroom. Book etiquette is a skill taught and this book is great for teaching this lesson. Bob is so affordable and funny! Always treat your books with kindness and care.

I'm obsessed with Bob. This book would be a great tool for a school librarian to teach young students the etiquette and rules for borrowing at the library. I think we can all recall a class favourite from the school library that everyone was bursting to take home. Creative, cute illustrations, and ultimately a good lesson.

A cute book about Bob, a library book. One day, Bob gets checked out by Sebastian but is lost before Sebastian can read him. However, he is eventually found and cherished. A cute book to teach kids about treating books well!

Very cute. Bob is one of the most popular books at the school library. He loves to be borrowed and appreciated. One day Sebastian borrows and forgets him. We follow Bob as he worries about never being found or read again. When Sebastian does find and read him, Bob becomes his favorite book.

It ends with a little page of Bob's tips for how to take care of your books. I found it cute, and kiddo paid attention, but was not as enamored with this one as others we read together.

This was really cute and a great one for librarians to read at the beginning of the year or at a book/library themed storytime!
I enjoyed the comic-like format and illustrations.
A cute read!

Such a cute book! It’s perfect for all school libraries and maybe reading it in classrooms before the children check out books.
Loved how the book goes everywhere!
Cute comic strip like illustrations.
It was a fun read with a special lesson to be responsible and treat your books with care.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an advanced reader copy this was such a darling book.

This was absolutely adorable. I genuinely felt emotion when Bob thought he was lost forever! This book MUST become a staple of library story times. Highly recommend ALL children's librarians grab a copy for their library!

"Overdue" is the perfect book for any school librarian or classroom teacher. This is a great anchor text for book care and discussing library policies and procedures at the start of the school year and there are several crafts and activities that I can already think of to use with this book. I will be purchasing this title to use with students.

I received an ARC of this children's book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is so adorable. The pictures are really cute the story is fantastic!

This was the cutest! My kids loved reading this one with me and we're going to need a physical copy to add to our bookshelf.
It's a fun book to show how books "feel" about being forgotten, hidden, read too closely to food, etc. but also the joy of reading for book and child. The illustrations are cute and catchy. This is a book I'll happily read the 183,847,583 times requested!

I absolutely loved this book! My daughter and I read this together. I thought it was brilliant and it teaches children about how to care for their library books. Every library should have this. I will definitely be buying a hard copy.

Thank you for allowing me to read this ARC!
