I Want to Read All the Books

Hana sees a raindrop roll down the window and wonders where the rain comes from. Her mom hands her a book that she says will answer her question. But that isn’t the only question Hana has. She has tons of questions, so she decides she will read all the books. That way she will have answers to all her questions.

She reads all the non-fiction books she has, then all the fiction books she has. She asks her brother for books and quickly finishes his. Soon she has read all the books in her house and at her friends’ houses. She learns new words and never seems to run out of questions. Her mom takes her to the big city library, and that is where she learns something really important.
