The Official Librarian

About the Book

Beware of GIANT CATS!!!  Did you ever have one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong?  Well, if you have you can relate to Bessy Beebody.  Her name might sound silly, but she takes her new job very seriously.  After having a tough time getting to work and meeting a boss who reminds her of Santa, Bessy struggles to get her school library that has been left in a mess cleaned up and in order before she has the public join her to see the original copy of a very famous book.  Bessy finds her job is not an easy one as she has a gorilla, a wild bird, and a teacher with bad breath interrupt her progress.  As if Bessy didn't have enough stress already, she begins getting some communications from strange places, but she'll need all the help she can get if she is to solve the mystery she is forced to take on as the "Official Librarian."

     The illustrator, Georgia Rice, first became interested in drawing by watching the artists at amusement parks do caricatures of people. Cartoon artwork has always fascinated her and helped to ignite her artistic wick. Georgia's drawing skills have been placed on special executive hats for a local company. She has also done several illustration boards used in presentations and two portraits, although she prefers to stick with the caricature type of artwork. When she isn't creating characters like Bessy Beebody, she keeps everyone smiling at the dentist office where she works as a dental assistant.
