EDRG 3321 Author Profile

The third Author profile i did it on Michelle Knudsen. The book is named Library Lion. I bought this book at my son's book fair. I read it to him and he loved it! The book is about this Lion who goes to the library, there aren't any rules of why the lion can't be there. So they let him stay all the kids watch and are amazed.The lion loved story hour. The librarian started to use the lion to help her with things around the library. The librarian then fell off and the lion tried telling the other person there that she was in trouble and roared. They got after him for not being quiet so he went away. They didn't see he for a couple of days. He was just trying to help. It's a really good book with a happy ending. The moral of the story is sometimes it's okay to break the rules.
When i googled the author i found this website: http://www.michelleknudsen.com/works.htm, the website lists all of her books. Even the books she no longer publishes. The website also lists what awards she has gotten for the book Library Lion.
