We love them and we need them,
We learn a million things from books,
And that is why we read them.

Don’t crumble them or fold them.
Don’t smear or smudge, or tear your books,
or crush them while you hold them.

10. Remember to respect your books
for in them you will find
The precious thoughts and feelings of
Some person’s
heart and mind!

11. Treat all your books with
loving care
while on or off your shelf.
Regard them as kind neighbors,
and love them as yourself!

water, rain,
small brothers

Always turn pages from the upper right corner

16. Don’t tear or fold the pages, or bend a book’s spine!5.
Paper is not very strong but it is brittle.
Folded over pages mean torn corners.
Bent spines mean pages that fall out.
Torn or missing pages mean
that you must pay for the book.

17. What is a Book?
by Lora Dunetz

18. What is a Book? A book is pages, pictures, and words;
A book is animals, people, and birds;
A book is stories of queens and kings,
Poems, and songs – so many things.

19. Curled in a corner where I can hide,
With a book I can journey far and wide.
Though it’s only paper from end to end,
A book is…
a special friend.
