Omar: Ms. Carter, is the new book about sharks back yet? My friend said it was really good.

Ms. Carter: Let me check. Hmm. Someone has it until next Thursday, and two other students are already waiting for it.

Omar: Oh, no. That means I won't get it for weeks.

Ms. Carter: Probably not for a little while. But I can add your name to the list. And while you wait, have you seen this one about ocean animals that glow in the dark? The photographs are amazing.

Omar: I didn't know some animals could glow. Could I look at it?

Ms. Carter: Of course. It's on the shelf right behind you, the one with the green cover.

Choose the best answer.

What will Omar most likely do next?
