Thank you to NetGalley, Sasquatch Books, and Little Bigfoot for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The art style for this book is probably one of my favorites. Larry is absolutely adorable.

I do need to start doing better research when requesting books though, because I did not realize that this book was part of a series.

HOWEVER, now I have a few more books to add to my TBR!!

I liked this book because the main character gets lost in one of the must magical places known as the library. I gave this book five stars because the story drew me in, and I just couldn't stop reading it.

This is an adorable story about Larry's adventure lost in the library. When Pete and Larry visit Pete's grandparents they explore a bookmobile. The librarian drives away not realizing Larry is still on board and he is soon surrounded by busy librarians and patrons enjoying books. The illustrations are charming and the story will surely be enjoyed by all readers. It is a colorful and lively tale about friendship and books and who could ask for anything more?

Special thanks to Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Larry, the perpetually lost pup gets lost again, this time via Bookmobile to the library! Once again Eric Ode offers a fun way to get to know an iconic place for anyone ... the library.

This book was just straight up adorable! Beautifully illustrated. With a cute doggie who gets lost in a library (be still my bibliophile heart). ❤️ I can't wait to gift this one to a friend who just had a baby.

This is the first "Larry gets lost" book I have read. All Larry wanted was a book from the bookmobile, but he ends up on a library adventure. It was cute to read about Larry's journey. Kids would definitely find this funny.

I've been a long time fan of the "Larry Gets Lost" series, incorporating titles like “Larry Gets Lost Under the Sea” and “Larry Gets Lost in Philadelphia” into science and social studies units in my classroom. The author, Eric Ode, and illustrator, John Skewes, continue the adventures of boy and pup with their latest entry into the series: "Larry Gets Lost in the Library". During a summer trip to his grandparents' farm, Pete and his dog Larry have the opportunity to visit a bookmobile. When the bookmobile inadvertently leaves with Larry still on board, Larry finds himself stuck at the main branch of the library in the city. Young readers familiar with Larry's adventures will know that Pete eventually reunites with his pet. Before that though we get a dog's eye view of the wonders that can be found in the library. I highly recommend this book for library patrons of all ages. I myself bought two copies, one for my classroom, and the other for the community bookmobile that I run with fellow teachers.

First off, I loved that the author rhymed in this story. The rhyming made reading it to my daughter much more fun. My daughter did get really upset that the puppy got lost, she kept thinking the boy wouldn't find his puppy again. But at the end she was so happy when the truck driver brought him back. The illustrations were so cute! This is a book that kids who are learning to read can read too.

I didn't realize that Larry was a real dog. I thought he was a stuffed animal, but I love how he went on an adventure first on the bookmobile and then in the library.

This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys. I found this book to be cute and fun to read. The pictures are so fun and cute. I love the storyline in this book, but I did find some of the pages to be a little wordy for a children's book. My boys did really enjoy this book. I also love that this book has a library in it. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Little Bigfoot) or author (Eric Ode) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Loved this cute story about a dog that gets lost in the library. And I think kids will love this one because what kid hasn't dreamed about getting lost in the library before.

Larry Gets Lost in the Library tells the story of pup Larry, continuing his "lost" saga, this time in the library. I have loved and followed the Larry books with my child, and she especially loves them. Typically he's lost in a city (Chicago, Boston, etc.) but this time is a Library. So creative and I love the rhythm and rhyme of the book. It is easy to get into and flows so well, it is hard not to absolutely love this book.

My toddler loves Larry, and was excited to read the newest installment of the book. After several readings, she was able to finish the sentences, and was asking frequently to have it read to her. Such a great concept for a series, and absolutely one of her favorites. Can't wait until this is out in print, and we can get our hands on it!

Thanks to the author, illustrator, publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Larry is a cute dog who loves going on vacation with his owner, Pete. They are spending the summer at Pete’s grandmother’s farm. When the bookmobile stops by, Pete is soon busy looking at the books. He doesn’t realize when Larry sneaks onto the bookmobile looking for a snack, and when it leaves, poor Larry is trapped in the bookmobile. He ends up in the city alone, eventually in the library. He wanders all around the library seeing the librarians and all the books. Will this little pup find his way back to his best friend? This was a cute story that my granddaughter really enjoyed. First, she didn't know about bookmobiles so we talked about them. Then she thought it was funny that Larry was in the library and no one seemed to notice him. We talked about what she would do if her dog was missing, and how they would find him. We enjoyed the story and all the wonderful illustrations. Of course I loved the idea of a story that had a young boy so enthralled by books that he didn't see what was going on around him. Apparently Larry Gets Lost is a a series, so we will see what else we can find. I recommend this one.

Adorable! Love that the verses rhyme. Its so much fun reading children's books when the text flows so well. This book was a lovely way to introduce children to the different roles and jobs people provide inside the library. Sorting, repairing, shelving, story time.

I would love to (plan to) buy this book for my neice/nephew.

The illustrations by John Skewes were wonderful! Bright, fun, colorful!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author Eric Ode and the publisher Sasquatch Books (Little Bigfoot). Publication date is 03 Aug 2021.

I have not read the other Larry Gets Lost book, but this book does seem to do well as a stand-alone.

I love library/book aspects of a story, so I did enjoy that part. The illustrations are fun and who can not like Larry the dog? I'm glad he likes reading. (Although, my adult brain kicked in a bit too much during this story. I worried about what might happen to the books if Larry didn't treat them well. Fortunately, nothing horrible happens to any book in the story.)

Larry the dog is sad when his best friend, Pete, settles down by a tree to read the books he checked out from the library bookmobile. Aren't there any books for Larry? Or, at least a snack? He hops on the truck to find out, but, oh no, the door closes and off he goes! When the truck finally stops, Larry hops out into the rain (it is Washington State after all) and he squeezes through the book return determined to find Pete. (Many odd things have been found in the Everett Public Library book drop, but I don't think wet dog has been one of them yet!) He searches the sorting room, the reading room, the stacks.....the computers are busy, but there are lots of magazines to read. The bookmobile driver is relieved to finally find Larry enjoying Storytime and gives him a ride back to the farm, and his friend, Pete. What a happy reunion! And what does Pete have for Larry? His very own book to read. Kids, and this adult, will enjoy colorful illustrations and a story in rhyme about the magic of reading and the fun you can find at your local library.

In this fun rhyming book Larry the dog sneaks onto the bookmobile and has an adventure exploring the library! Children will love the illustrations and the rhythm and rhyme of the story as they learn about all sorts of different things that are in a library. A must have for fans of Larry the dog!

This cute story is about Pete and his dog, Larry. Pete takes Larry to the bookmobile. Larry wishes their were books for him, so he sneaks aboard the bookmobile. Larry goes on an adventure to the library. Read the book to find out what happens to Larry.

This is a cute story that is unlike any I have read. It would be a great read aloud! The illustrations are sweet.

What a fun adventure to go on as Larry does indeed get lost in the library. The illustrations are bright and cheery and the story is a fun way for kids to come to love and appreciate libraries more.
