<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Magnolia returns to explain the many downsides to bringing a circus to a local library"-- <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>The third book in the bestselling Magnolia Says Don't! series, which started with <i>If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!</i>, is another loud and cautionary tale of what <i>not </i>to do--this time, at the library!</b> <p/> If you see a poster that says "You Can Do Anything at the Library!", it is NOT giving you permission to put on a circus! But Magnolia doesn't see any problem with setting up her own big top. She's got a lot of gusto and one mean human cannonball routine. So what if her greatest show on Earth won't fit between the bookshelves? Elise Parsley's boldly expressive illustrations perfectly complement this <i>mostly-</i>librarian-approved guide on how to be everything BUT quiet in the library! <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>If You Ever Want to Bring a Circus to the Library, Don't!</i> <br></b>"Good fun to read aloud<b>."<br></b>--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> </br></br><b>Praise for <i>If You Ever Want to Bring a Piano to the Beach, Don't!</i> </b>"Magnolia's voice is wonderfully childlike... but her facial expressions top all, perfectly capturing both her exuberance and her mood swings."--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> </br></br><b>Praise for <i>If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!</i> </b>A <i>New York Times </i>Bestseller<br>"Parsley's digitally created illustrations brim with energy and just-edgy-enough humor... and the well-chosen school-day details in both the artwork and text... deliver a steady stream of laughs."--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</b></i> </br></br>"[It] revels in the rampage of the id-here in the form of a formidable and toothy crocodilian. Elise Parsley's jaunty second-person narration is matched by comically expressive and detailed digital artwork that seems to shout from the page."--<b><i>Wall Street Journal</b></i> </br></br>"Bright illustrations and plenty of laugh-out-loud humor."--<b><i>Brightly</b></i> </br></br>"Children are likely to get a kick out of Magnolia's not-quite-contrite tone and the colorful chaos her giant pet creates."--<b><i>New York Times</b></i> </br></br>"Spunky little Magnolia continues to push rules to the limit and offer not-so-useful, but always entertaining, advice in her latest outing....Magnolia has to get creative when her human cannonball trick hits a snag....Though the ultimate conclusion is that circuses aren't library-appropriate, the story offers a fun way to address proper library behavior without ignoring the joy books can bring." <p/>--<b><i>Booklist</b></i> </br></br>"This enjoyable romp through the library with Magnolia will engage young readers and keep them looking forward to her next adventure."--<b><i>School Library Journal</b></i> </br></br>"This is an engaging debut picture book [that] will appeal to a wide age range. Here's hoping for more adventures with Magnolia!"--<b><i>School Library Journal</b></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Elise Parsley</b> has written and illustrated the New York Times bestseller <i>If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School</i>, <i>DON'T!</i> and three other stories about Magnolia, as well as <i>Neck & Neck</i>. She also illustrated <i>The Magic Word</i> by Mac Barnett. Elise and her family live in South Dakota, and she invites you to visit her website at eliseparsley.com.
