When Rappy the Raptor’s class goes to the library, it’s all Rappy can do not to be noisy. Can he keep his rapping quiet, or will he start a book riot? When students are finding the library a bore, quick-thinking Rappy uses his rhyming skills to save the day!

Beginning readings will love to rap along as Rappy learns what a fun place the library can be. This rhyming Level Two I Can Read is perfect for beginning and developing readers.

• Once Rappy arrived at the library, what was the first thing that Mrs. H made sure they did? Why?

• In order to borrow books from the library, Mrs. D. gave Rappy his library card. Then he started to ask all about the different types of books. What are some things you would like to read/learn about?
