David Wiesner

HarperCollins, 2008

A great surprise and a beautiful book
I found this book in a pretty unexpected way. At work, I as putting together a team of people to take on a new problem. None of the members knew each other well and they all knew me even less. I had read once about an ice breaker activity where each person is given ...

The Three Pigs

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 2001

An amusing twist
In this unconventional send-up of the classic fairy-tale, the wall between story pages and characters is broken, as three pigs escape the big bad wolf not by running away, but by jumping out of the story altogether. A winner of the Caldecott Medal, The Three Pigs by ...

Tuesday

David Wiesner

Sandpiper, 1997

Look to the skies on Tuesday nights!
If high-flying, mischievous frogs were an everyday occurrence, the mysterious Tuesday by David Wiesner would not exist. In Tuesday (Clarion Books, 1991), the author writes that some magical event occurs every Tuesday and in this particular book, readers are treated to ...

Sector 7 (Caldecott Honor Book)

Clarion Books, 1999

David Wiesner Books... you won't regret.

Sandpiper, 1995

Beautiful book
I really enjoyed this book. The pictures are wonderful, and the story was a treat, especially the end. Oh yeah, my kids enjoyed it, too. Like always, the book arrived promptly and in good condition.

The Loathsome Dragon

Clarion Books, 2005

Not Loathsome at all!
I was so pleased to see this book back in print! I raised my children on a healthy diet of traditional fairytales and beautiful art. This book was one of their favorites. We started searching for it when the grandchildren began to arrive, but couldn't find it. ...

Owly

Mike Thaler

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1982

GREAT BOOK
MY BOYS ARE NOW 19 AND 15 AND I USED TO READ THEM THIS BOOK WHEN THEY WERE SMALL. ONE IS NOW IN AWAY IN COLLEGE, THE OTHER IS, WELL, 15. BUT WHENEVER WE SAY GOODNIGHT OR SO LONG WE WOULD SAY I LOVE YOU-----AS MANY STARS AS THERE ARE IN THE SKY, ETC. I AM NOW PREPARING ...

Hurricane

David Wiesner

Sandpiper, 1992

Kat's Kind Review
The book Hurricane by David Wiesner was an excellent book. It teaches children that you don't have to always have the new hi-tech toys to have fun. All you need is your imagination. I would recommend this book to all ages. It was about 2 brothers who are waiting for a ...

Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book)

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 2006

An excellent choice for the Caldecott Medal ~ great book
This book is all pictures, no text, but the pictures are very detailed and text isn't necessary. My grandsons and I looked at the book together. They were ages 4 and 7 at the time. I helped to interpret the pictures and would advise this; certain things had to be ...

Night of the Gargoyles

Eve Bunting

Sandpiper, 1999

Goth meets ripped gauze
Imagine this Prom scene: girl in sweet, demure, ripped gauzy dress walks in with Gothboy dressed to the nine's in Goth attire. Closer---the girl has a black teardrop tattoed beneath her eye. There, I have just introduced Eve Bunting, writer of sweet and bittersweet ...

The Rainbow People

Laurence Yep

HarperCollins, 1992

Over Rainbows and Down Rabbit Holes: The Art of Children's Books
Zora Charles, Lolly Robinson

Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, 2008

From Tumbling into Wonderland by Zora Charles "Literacy should not only include the ability to translate squiggles into letters and words, it should connect us to a universe larger than the one we inhabit, to our shared humanity and to the natural world. And nothing does that better than a well-crafted picture book."

Over Sea, Under Stone (The Dark is Rising Sequence)

Susan Cooper

Aladdin, 2000

Good story, although a slow start
"Over Sea, Under Stone" is the first book in the "The Dark Is Rising" series, and it's a good start. Having said that, I'm enjoying the second book more; it's worth getting through some occasionally dry sections in this book so that you have the background you need to ...

Ugly Princess

Nancy Luenn, David Wiesner

Little Brown & Co (Juv), 1981

Such a rare find!
The illustrations are fantastic and the story beautifully told. My sister-in-law found this hardback edition in a local Goodwill. My 6 year old daughter thanks her everyday! You can read this over and over to your children and never get tired of it.

Tongues of Jade
Laurence Yep

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1991

A retelling of seventeen Chinese American folktales from a variety of Chinese communities in the United States.
