Why read it?
1 author picked Ronan the Librarian as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first thing that attracted me to this book is the terrific title â and the cover illustration. My kids and I enjoyed the humor, adventure, and unexpected twists in this entertaining tale about a barbarian clan that finds a treasure box of books. Iâm not sure what made the kids giggle more â the fact that barbarians make terribly odd library patrons, or the little flyers and other details in the illustrations. (Definitely donât miss reading the little flyers in the illustrations!)
From Viviane's list on the magic of libraries.
