 Favorite illustrator! November 21, 2009
Ana Braga-Henebry (Rural South Dakota)
Illustrators are so crucial in picture books! If you love our favorite picture book, The Seven Silly Eaters , you will love the illustrations in this one by the same artist. In a good picture book, the illustrations have the power to take you to another world, even if temporarily. Illustrator Marla Frazee's style is captivating, warm, delightful!
Beautiful story, beautifully illustrated! November 17, 2009
E. sawyer-crose (Austin, TX)
Liz Garton Scanlon's new book tells a beautiful tale, inspired by life, but told in verse. The book recently received a lovely review by the New York Times, and was voted one of the top ten Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2009. This book will be cherished by the whole family, and pulled from the bookshelf often. Enjoy!
Beautiful October 22, 2009
Basil MacDougal (The Corner of My Room)
I absolutely loved this book. I read it to my 6 year old a couple of times so far and he too enjoys it. The pictures alone are breathtakenly beautiful. If the artist does not win a Caldecott or some other award for the work on this book, I will be very surprised. They reminded me so much of an earlier type of illustration found in Curious George combined with a touch of Hayao Miyazaki.
The story too was very good and had a joyous message. My copy will be donated to our school's library so all the kids can enjoy it.
Wonderful Book October 15, 2009
Sistertex (Minnesota)
My Grandson is 2.5 years of age and really likes this book. The art work is very nice and it has a wonderful message. When the majority of books that are getting my grandson's attention are about hockey or trucks, this one was a nice switch to have him sit down and have read to him, AND ask to have read again and again. I think this book is worth while for any parent to read, and discuss with their child. Certainly it is one of the better children's books I have read in quite a while.
 My child doesn't love it though its one of my new favorites October 15, 2009
@homemom (Jersey Shore, United States)
The other reviewers have done a wonderful job of explaining the book, it is a lovely message and the artwork is very pleasing to look at. As a mother I thoroughly enjoy reading my child story books which carry a meaningful message and while my 5yr old seemed pleased with the story when I first read it she hasn't asked for it again... and when I've suggested it she's requested other books instead. For that reason I'm not sure if I'd suggested it for the kindergarten crowd, for a younger child who is more mesmerized by mom/dad's voice and dreamy images I think it would be wonderful and I'd also suggest it as a gift for an adult. It might not be a favorite of my little girl but it has become one of mine and I plan to read it to my new baby once he/she is born as well.
