Review of 1001 Stories
Once upon a time, there lived...
This book starts out traditionally, but after that...watch out! There’s nothing usual about what happens when favorite fairy tales are put together in a book, and the reader is asked to decide what happens next. It’s an entertaining and exciting adventure through the intermingled paths of a fairy tale maze. And when Little Red Riding Hood (who later becomes Snow White) meets up with Hansel (who later turns into the Handsome Prince), well, anything can happen – maybe even 1001 NEW stories.
"This ingenious amalgamation of fairy tales will have readers opening it over and over, never reading the same tale twice. A great addition to any fairy-tale collection, teacher’s bookshelf to teach parts of a story or carry-on tote." - Kirkus Reviews

Of all the Danny Kaye movies, this musical biography of the legendary vagabond storyteller is definitely the most poignant, extending the performer's range far beyond his usual comic shtick. It may not be as funny as Wonder Man, but it has so much more going for it... |

It's been said that this 1948 classic has been responsible for the ballet lessons of more young girls than any other film. It's not hard to understand why: Michael Powell and Emerich Pressburger's dark fairy tale presents the ballet as an exquisite, magical work of art; but under the theatrics and glory is an all-consuming lifestyle with the power to destroy those who love it perhaps too much... |

No Comments »Best Family in the World
July 25th, 2010Best Family in the World by Susana Lopez is a beautiful story, perfect for children ages 4 years and up. The book measures 8 1/5 x 11 4/5 inches and has 38 pages. It is a new Kane Miller title.
About the Best Family in the World book
Carlota is an orphan. She looks to be about five or six years old. She dreams of being adopted by "the best family in the world." Her fantasies are wistful, even outlandish, but believable for a child this age. She longs to "live in a pastry shop," or with a family of pirates, or circus performers, or even astronauts. Soon, she meets her adoptive family, a sweet, but rather typical-looking group.
Reviews of Best Family in the World
Carlotta anxiously awaits the arrival of her new family. What will they be like? She imagines all kinds of wonderful families…astronauts, pastry chefs, even pirates. How nice to find out that they are the best family in the world.
“Lopez handles Carlota's situation with delicacy, and Wensell's friendly faces reassure readers that Carlota is in good hands.” – PublishersWeekly
“The warmth of Wensell’s illustrations matches the gentle narrative, a modern fairy tale. …does not seek to explain anything about the adoption process, thus rendering it nicely universal.” - Kirkus Reviews
“This is a marvelous book about adoption. It captures the dreams of the child and then the reality itself where the reality may not be as flashy but is perfect none-the-less because they love her. Created by an author and illustrator from Spain, this book is universally appealing. Lopez’s text is friendly and effusive. The daydreams are fanciful and interesting, but Lopez has allowed the reality to be the real star here. Wensell’s illustrations are charming and friendly. They invite young readers into the story, reveal the humor of the daydreams, and linger lovingly and warmly on the real family. Recommended for all library collections, this book about adoption is something special.” - KidsLit
“The telling is clear and lively, while the artwork glows with warmth and light. Showing different scenes from different angles, the handsome illustrations have a certain elegance of composition, combined with undeniable child appeal in characterization. A lovely, thought-provoking picture book to share and discuss.” - Booklist (April 1, 2010)
“… is what a picture book is meant to be… Like all excellent picture books, this one works on a number of levels… Not only would this picture book be a great tie-in to topics such as possibilities and families, but it would also be a great read-aloud for career days.” - Teach With Picture Books
