Beatrice Doesn't Want To (Laura Numeroff)


This is a great example of there aren't kids who don't like reading, just kids who haven't found the right book yet!


This would be a great book to read at the beginning of the year when I spend a lot of time talking to my students about all the reading we will do this year and how my goal is to inspire a love of books in everyone this year.

Ryan and Craig read this one. They're always worth watching:


Goodreads says:

A humorous story of a stubborn little girl, a patient older brother, and the magical workings of the local library.

Beatrice doesn't like books or reading — and she especially doesn't like accompanying big brother Henry to the library three days in a row. But that's where he has to take her while he works on his dinosaur report. Naturally, Beatrice doesn't want to get books from the shelf. Beatrice doesn't want to let Henry work. And Beatrice certainly doesn't want to sit in a room full of boys and girls during story hour. Is there anything that could possibly change her mind? Meet Beatrice, a little girl who knows exactly what she doesn't want. Or does she?
