|title=Madeleine Finn and the Library Dog
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Madeleine Finn doesn't like to read - not anything. It's not really her fault, you know. Her teacher tries to encourage her, but some of the other kids giggle when she makes mistakes.

All week she tries her best but doesn't get the star she longs for.
