Who’s Hiding?

admin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:05:24 +0000

Who's Hiding? by Satoru Onishi is a multi- award winning book for babies and toddlers. Sharp-eyed youngsters will have fun with this search-and-find picture book. Eighteen simply drawn, brightly colored animals are laid out in the same order on each spread. A rear view is laid out on the endpapers. The first spread shows the creatures and their names and asks, Who is hiding? The next spread shows all of them except for the reindeer who is invisible except for his antlers. This question alternates with others, with sometimes one figure disappearing and other times with more than one change occurring. The next question is, Who's crying? It's the rabbit who is frowning and shedding a tear. Who's angry? is not quite as clear cut, but is identified in the answer key as the scowling blue bear. This is a clever puzzle book for caregivers and young children to share and to learn animals, colors, concepts. A solid choice for most picture-book collections.– Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH

Who's hiding?
Who's crying?
Who's backwards?

Look carefully! Is it dog, tiger, hippo, zebra, bear, reindeer, kangaroo, lion, rabbit, giraffe, monkey, bull, rhino, pig, sheep, hen, elephant, or cat? Can you tell? Look again... 18 fun-loving animals can be found on each question-posing page, sending readers into an up-close, attention-to-detail discovery.

This book measures 8 x 8 inches and is great for children between ages 3 and years old. This is an award winning children's book.

Awards that Will You Carry Me? has won

Earned the Children's Book Sense Pick

Story of Will You Carry Me?

Will You Carry Me? is about a little boy named Thomas. Thomas had been playing all day and he was too tired to walk home so he asked his mother to carry him. But his mom did not carry him. Instead, she suggested that they tried something else such as flying, swimming, jumping and running. Find out how Thomas and his mom got home and if she eventually carried him or not.

Reviews of Will You Carry Me?

"This simple story of a familiar plaint is charmingly carried out in capricious scenes featuring a clever mom and a cute kid. A universal experience that will have both toddlers and parents grinning, turning the plea for "carry me" into playful fun." - Kirkus Reviews

"Van Rossum’s crisp, engaging text is a model of economy, while van Harmelen’s fluid ink lines give Mommy (who wears a mod, navel-baring ensemble) a wacky balletic grace; her wiry limbs and expressive face (especially her glee after hitting on yet another idea to distract Thomas) augment the upbeat watercolors’ visual punch lines. To underscore the infectious fun of Mommy’s ingenuity, van Harmelen also adds a growing panoply of fanciful hangers-on – a blue kangaroo, a snorkel-outfitted boy carting a fish tank on his aquatic-themed bicycle – who seem to represent toys come alive. It all adds up to a lovely confection, and one that may just inspire some similarly creative walks home." - Publishers Weekly

"The succinct and bright text is perfectly matched by the light, sparkling art and expressive faces on the frizzy-haired mom and sweet child. Parents (who may pick up tips for the next time they are in this situation) and toddlers will enjoy this refreshing romp." - School Library Journal

"The prose is sweet, and the illustrations are impeccable. This book, to me, is one of the best children's books I've had the privilege to read this year, or, quite possibly, one of the best books of any genre that I've read this year...this book should be a staple on every home, school, and library shelf, as well as the coffee tables of every person that has or loves children. Very highly recommended!" - For Immediate Release

"Peter van Harmelen's palette reminds me of fruity sorbet..." - Bees Knees Reads

"...educational and entertaining." - Random Notes from a Military Wife

Half of an Elephant

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 12:59:18 +0000

Half of an Elephant by Gusti is an award winning book published by Kane Miller. This 40 page book is perfect for children between the ages of 5 years old and 9 years old that has earned the Parenting Magazine Best Books of the Year. This is an interesting story for children to read. The illustrations are unique.

Story of Half of an Elephant

One night, all of a sudden, the world split in two. Faced with this unexpected event - and with half of his considerable body missing - an elephant began a journey to find his missing half. Since there was only half of him, he was referred to as 'half of an elephant'. Along the way, he discovered the many different ways there are of rebuilding and reinventing oneself. He also met other animals that also lost their halves. Soon the half elephant realized that every animal had the same problem as him. The front half of the elephant tried to join with other animals but it did not really work. Eventually, the front half of the elephant gave up and decided that it was not so bad being by himself.

Meanwhile, the rear half of the elephant was also having a problem. It was hard for him to join with the front half of other animals. He then arrived at the same conclusion.

Eventually, the world rejoins and the halves of the elephant find each other but they are fine being on their own now.

At once quietly poetic and (not-so-quietly) humorous, Half of an Elephant is an adventure of a lifetime, not just for our hero, but for every reader who has ever struggled to find himself.

Story of The Big Little Book of Happy Sadness

The Big Little Book of Happy Sadness is about a little boy called George who lived with his grandmother. Although his grandmother was a very nice lady, George felt very lonely most of the time. He was a very lonely boy who always stood in the corner where no one was looking and hid his face. But, one day, he decided to adopt a dog, Jeremy, from a shelter. Jeremy was a dog that no one wanted since he only had three legs. No one ever wanted to take him for a walk or take him home. George identified with Jeremy and took him home. He, with the help of his grandmother, made Jeremy a leg out of paper but it got wet and ruined. George and his grandma made Jeremy a few other legs. Eventually, George was not lonely any more and Jeremy found a life he never knew could exist for him.

Reviews of The Big Little Book of Happy Sadness

George lived alone with his grandmother and an empty place where his mother and father should have been."

One Friday on his way home from school, George visited the animal shelter. There, in the very last cage, was Jeremy, a dog who looked as lost and as lonely as George. When Jeremy goes home to live with George and his grandmother, their whole lives change, and they learn that when it comes to love, it's quality not quantity that counts...

“…Both the text and illustrations are quirky in such a wonderful way. The text laments that dogs can't smile, emphasizes the hopelessness of George and the dogs at the pound, and explains the ugliness of the dog in a vivid way:
"Why would you want him? We've got 87 other dogs here. They've all got four legs and bright eyes and a coat that doesn't look like it's covered in lard." The illustrations have depth, character and their own style. There are so many small touches that surprise but offer a new take onlife. The grandmother's face has some wrinkles, but the best part is that her skin is done in a crackled glaze so she looks like her paint is about to chip off. The wallpaper at their home is not dingy, the counter at the pound covered in a lifetime of pawprints, and small pieces of newspaper go everywhere during a papier-mache project.” –Kidslit,Tasha Saecker

"I’ve read it more than twenty times now, and each time I find myself reacting as if I’m reading it for the first time. It is simply that well written...this book can be a valuable emotional experience and will very likely become a childhood favorite. Its story, its message, the words and artwork all work together seamlessly to create a wonderful book that is as full of happiness and sadness as life itself." - Gruntlings

"With great finesse, touches of humor and sensitivity, Colin Thompson captures the wonder of this relationship both in his text and in his art." - Through the Looking Glass

"...illustrations...have an odd, intriguing quality about them that I can’t resist." - Kiss the Book

"The story and and illustrations are done so perfectly that you can't help but be drawn in...Yes, there is a bit of sadness, but it's a also a story of hope and friendship. All told, this is a wonderful heartwarming story to read to your children." - For Immediate Release Reviews

"...aptly named and well worth reading." - School Library Journal

It's Christmas by Tina Burke is a very cute book published by Kane Miller for children of all ages preparing for Christmas. It is a hardback book with 32 pages and many parents say that it is by far the perfect holiday book for excited kids! This book is so adorable. The illustrations are so cute.

Simple text accompanies the sweetest illustrations of children preparing for Christmas which makes this book a perfect read for children between ages 4 years and 8 years old. There is not much to read but the author does an excellent job of including all the traditional activities that we typically associate with this time of the year through simple, short sentences and extremely sweet illustrations. Baking cookies? Check. Visiting Santa? Check. Decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, hanging stockings and that final long wait on Christmas Eve are all depicted here with adorable drawings. This is one of the happiest books to read for kids around Christmas time.

It's Christmas

Reviews of It's Christmas

It's that time of year...
that special time of the year,
when magic happens,
and we wait for that very special guest to arrive...

From the unique talent of Tina Burke comes a delightful tale about the joy that surrounds Christmas.

"Reading It’s Christmas is a great way to get young children motivated to take part in making the magic that is Christmas. Each page pictures an activity you and your child can do together, from baking cookies to decorating the Christmas tree. For such a simple toddler’s picture book, the ideas and excitement that come from it are endless." - Suite 101

"Burke’s soft, pastel and watercolor drawings are warm and inviting, capturing the magical anticipation and excitement that children feel waiting for the holiday. This is a pleasant and comforting selection for a lap-sit, toddler storytime, or bedtime." - School Library Journal

"The expressions on the children's faces convey far more than words could...a surefire hit with Santa-seeking youngsters." - Shelf Awareness

"Her work is more than just adorable. It's decidely simple - her neat, rounded illustrations with limited detail and nothing extraneous. Nothing that gets in the way of the very youngest reader's / listener's ability to comprehend a simple story about - in this case - Christmas. In fact, it's not even a story. It's a glimpse into Christmas traditions and the joy they can bring for the youngest child..." - Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast

"For such a simple toddler's picture book, the ideas and excitement that come from it are endless." - National Library Board (Singapore)

"...a simple book with few words, but seems to catch the essence of a youngster's anticipation of Santa's coming." - Newton's Book News

"Reading It's Christmas is a great way to get young children motivated to take part in making the magic that is Christmas. Each page pictures an activity a child can do with an adult from baking cookies to decorating the Christmas tree. The delightful, colorful illustrations are the strength of this feel-good book." - Puget Sound Council

"...delightfully simple yet perfectly sweet little book." - Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review

"Joan Walsh Anglund has a worthy successor in Tina Burke. Her drawings portray the bursting exuberance of young children...nicely assorted in their ethnicity, too...the gentle excitement it engenders will likely keep children asking for it long after the tree is taken down and the decorations packed away for another year." - Curled Up Kid

Story of Dougal the Garbage Dump Bear

This book tells the story of a shy little bear with a heart of gold named Dougal. He was an old and dirty bear and was treated as such. Since Dougle was old and dirty, the father of the girl who owned him put him in the stinky garbage bin. Dougal, along with other rubbish was going to be demolished but one of the men took saved him and many other stuffed animals. Eventually, Dougal found a new home and a new life with all of his new friends. The lesson that Dougal learned was that: "sometimes bad things happen so that good things can happen. You just had to make the best of it."

This is a very heart warming and uplifting story for children.

Reviews of Dougal the Garbage Dump Bear

"In this quirky tale about a tattered teddy’s second chance, readers follow the travails of Dougal, rescued at the dump by a truck operator. Soon, a stuffed bee named Bumble joins the forlorn bear. Silly, tongue-in-cheek outings for the pair are documented in a photojournalistic style. The juxtaposition of Dray’s wry narrative with his quixotic and uniquely compelling snapshots proves engaging across the generations. A heartfelt message at tale’s end regarding triumphing over adversity proves that this odd duckling of a story is truly a swan." - Kirkus Reviews

"Utterly delicious...every detail repays study." - Washington Post

"...Wonderfully detailed pictures are hilarious and expressive...a great activity-producing selection for a rainy day, or any day." - School Library Journal

"Dougal is unique and unforgettable and will have you thinking twice..." - Curled Up Kids

"...thoroughly entertaining, well written, creatively illustrated and purely enjoyable." - Life is like a Lunchbox

"Designed to look like a scrapbook, the book is clever and creative and a wonderful read-aloud." - Education Oasis

You can learn more about the lovable characters, Dougal and Bumble, at their very own website.

Some reviews of this Usborne Book of Art Skills

"An excellent, well explained art book, with beautiful and easy to follow illustrations. The book is a treasure chest of ideas suitable for the primary classroom. This book provides plenty of opportunities to explore the various strands of the visual arts field. A great resource for any teacher, parent or doting aunt."

"I teach 4th and 5th grade art, and on a very tight budget none the less. This book has wonderful ideas that I can either add to or shorten depending on my class level. It has given me great ideas and I am looking forward to trying more."

"This is a great book, full of wonderful ideas and I highly recommend it! Just be careful when purchasing, there are two sizes: $8 for the 5"x6" version and about $15 for the 9"x12" version. As far as I can tell they are the same book, but if you want the bigger one and end up with the smaller one, it's a bit disappointing. Good luck!"
