The Jellybeans are back—this time in the library stacks to discover the varied and wonderful world of reading. When the Jellybeans go to the library to do research for book reports on the things they enjoy, Bitsy, who loves books more than anyone, is excited to bring her friends to her favorite place. Emily, who loves to dance, finds a book on ballet, Nicole, who loves sports, finds a book on soccer, and Anna, who loves art, finds a book on famous painters. But what about Bitsy? Can she find the perfect book, too? And how will she get over her nervousness about reading her report in front of the whole class?
This energetic story by the #1 New York Times-bestselling author promotes a love of reading by showing there’s a perfect book for everyone. Just as jellybeans are all different flavors but go great together, the girls again use their different strengths and talents to work as a team—and make their school Book Bonanza a success!

In the second Jellybeans book, Anna and her friends Emily, Nicole, and Bitsy remain, like the candies, “different flavors go well together.” When their class has a Book Bonanza, book-loving Anna is excited, but her friends' expressions suggest they would rather be doing other things. Luckily, the librarian helps each Jellybean find the perfect book. And when Anna gets stage fright reading her report to the class, her friends give her support. Though the story line feels thin, the characters sweetly express friendship dynamics in a group setting. Ages 4–8. -

Gr 1-3-In this follow-up to "The Jellybeans and the Big Dance" (Abrams, 2008), the diverse young animal friends are off to the public library to start a book-report assignment, and dancer Emily, soccer-player Nicole, and artist Bitsy are none too thrilled. Anna, the soft-spoken, avid reader, encourages them to see that books are just like jellybeans, available in every flavor, for every reader. They quickly find appropriate titles, and then the librarian, who knows Anna, helps her find a special volume of fairy tales. Some librarians might find the librarian, who is a bespectacled goose, old-fashioned, and some teachers might find the assignment hackneyed. What sings, though, is the sheer joy the Jellybeans have in jumping to Anna's rescue when she tremblingly faces the class to present her report and gallivanting over to the candy store with her to celebrate afterward. The cheerful watercolor illustrations have a soft palette. Children will delight in seeing themselves in one of the endearing, fuzzy-looking Jellybean characters and be full of glee when Anna finally opens up and is able to share her love of reading with the class."Sara Lissa Paulson, American Sign Language and English Lower School PS 347, New York City"Copyright 2010 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

When her friends need to do book reports, avid reader Anna introduces them to the library, where they find books about their hobbies. Anna's friends, in turn, help her to channel her love of reading to overcome her shyness. The story has a generic, albeit friendly, books-are-for-everyone message, but Munsinger's animal characters in candy-hued watercolors will draw in readers.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
