This book is the most creative picture fiction book that I've seen in a long time.
The protagonist is a worm named Benjamin who has no desire to fit in with his family and worm friends. He loves books and wants to spend all his time reading. He fashions a plan to escape his life in a grocery store by hiding in a newspaper but when the purchaser discovers him she tries to kill him. Benjamin narrowly escapes but finds a dragonfly, ant, and ladybug to bring him to a safe place. Can you guess where that might be? Soon Benjamin finds himself in trouble again until he finds a sympathethic librarian who succeeds in making him famous.
Elementary school readers will turn each page as they follow this adventure, delight in the fanciful illustrations, and learn about the value of reading and safeguarding our literature. A bonus section features the history of the library.
Highly recommend the book and hope to see more creativity from this author.

Beautifully written
Like Benjamin, I was transported to my own mesmerizing experience when I visited the Library of Congress for the first time many years ago. A cleverly written book that not only has information for children to learn from but a beautiful story about following your dreams, persevering, and the power of good friendships. I can't wait for R.G. de Rouen's next story!
