Don't Check Out This Book by Kate Klise
Appleton Elementary has a need Librarian.
In the small town of Appleton, Illinois changes aren't taken to very well. When Rita B. Danjerous provides her own books to the "broom closet" library and adds a special collection of "green dot" books the parents and adults of the school think that it's a bad idea. what are these books-- are they perverted, banned, full of swear words, why are they segregated from the other books? Instead of doing what I would do-- ask Mrs. Danjerous what's up with the "green dot" collection, the adults especially the new School Board President, Ivana Beprawpa, decided to make the librarian's life miserable.
Mrs. Danjerous has a daughter May B Danjerous who will become the 20th student at Appleton Elementary. As her name might make one think, she is not dangerous unless you are the one who decides to initiate a dress code, and that said clothes only come from your store.
The adventure becomes wacky when a ton of sleuthing, money following, and plotting starts to roll as fast as can be throughout the story.
The puns in this book are hilarious. The names in this book said quickly are punnier than the rest of the puns in this book.
I definitely think that you should check out this book!!!!

But the Klise sisters had so much fun making their first book, they kept writing and drawing. And now they've published more than twenty award-winning books for young readers, including Regarding the Fountain and Dying to Meet You. The Klise sisters no longer share a bedroom.
