Review:
"The female narrator gives a warm, approach able reading to Stewarts gently humorous verse. The sprightly cello soundtrack suits the text perfectly. A few subtle sound effects enhance the story...a good choice for story hours and a pleasant introduction to the library phobic children."
"Reading has never looked quite so delicious."--"Booklist"
"A story told in witty rhyme, about a bookish Elizabeth Brown, who . . . takes her greatest pleasures in life from her literary treats . . . This is a funny, heartwarming story about a quirky woman with a not-so-peculiar obsession. Cheers for Elizabeth Brown, a true patron of the arts."--"School Library Journal"
"The author and illustrator have created [a] strong, independent, iconoclastic heroine . . . The illustrations of glorious piles of more and more books and of happy, red-headed Elizabeth Brown and a friend reading by the fire . . . depict the acme of utter bliss for bibliomaniacs."--"The Horn Book Magazine"
"A joy to look at."--"The New York Times Book Review"
