I don't normally add picture books to my Read list, but I had to throw this one in. It crossed my desk as I was Librarian-ing, and I just had to read it. First, the title. I date myself, but the pun made me chuckle. Then, the premise. I suppose it's a metaphor for reluctant readers. How do you get the people to read, when they're busy raiding and fighting and building and surviving? Ronan figures out books are awesome, and reads more and more of them until he has so many he has to build a library to house them all. Then he tries to get his people interested, but he has no success, until he figures out the magic solution! (You'll have to read the book to find out what it is!) ( )

OMG so I got to borrow a copy from the library and I completely fell in love with the story of Ronan the barbarian who became Ronan the Librarian!. Such a fun picture book and I have already recommended it for story times and read alongs! ( )
