Review and Giveaway: Ronan The Librarian by Tara Luebbe and Becky Cattie




Ronan the Librarian 
By Tara Luebbe and Becky Cattie 
Illustrated by Victoria Maderna 
4/21/2020 
Roaring Book Press 

Ronan was a mighty barbarian. 
He invaded. He raided. And back home, he traded. 
He always found the greatest treasures. 
Until one day, Conan found something no barbarian wants: 

A BOOK. 

This humorous picture book from sister duo Tara Luebbe and Becky Cattie and illustrator Victoria Maderna follows Ronan the Barbarian as he grows from being just a rough-and-tumble warrior to a rough-and-tumble warrior who loves books. 

 
At first, his fellow barbarians are skeptical of his newfound passion for reading, but in the end, even they aren't immune to the charms of a good book.

******************************


Ronan is a fierce barbarian. The best at finding all kinds of treasures...and one day he finds a book. What does a barbarian want with a book?! Then Ronan does something unexpected: he READS the book! And discovers that books are wonderful treasures. So he sets out to gather all the books...but he can convince his fellow barbarians that books are worth raiding?! 

 

Tara Luebbe and Becky Cattie’s Ronan The Librarian is a laugh-out-loud, joy filled picture book that beautifully celebrates the power of books and reading!  

 

Luebbe and Cattie’s fun, clever storytelling; captivating barbarian world, and irresistibly charming Ronan, will delight and entertain little readers. Victoria Maderna brings Ronan’s wild world to life with the most engaging and whimsical illustrations, full of bright colors and funny scenes.  


Full of silly word choices, sweet heart, and the most lovable barbarian you’ll ever meet, Ronan the Librarian is fantastic!
