teachingliteracy: Tell Me Some More… (by hazelcatkins) “Little Andrew tells Tim of a place where he can carry an elephant, tickle a seal and lift a whole river. With each successive feat, wide-eyed Tim exclaims ‘Tell me some more’, and Andrew does. Then to prove these marvelous tales, Andrew takes his friend to the place where it all happens and so introduces him to the magic of the library.” —from the Kirkus review of Tell Me Some More… by Crosby Newell Bonsall (1961)
