The Big Green Pocketbook Age 3-6. On her day in town with her mother, a little girl starts off with an empty big green pocketbook, just like her mother's, and along the way collects pieces of her day to put inside, inventing stories for each treasure. Fireman Small Age 2-5. Fireman small has a busy day rescuing people and fighting fires . . . and it's not over yet. Just as he's preparing for a good night's sleep, the fire bell rings yet again. Someone Bigger Age 2-5. Hardback. Sam can't wait to try out his new kite, but Dad says he's too small to fly it alone-it needs someone bigger. When Dad launches the kite, a strong wind pulls it into the sky. But the wind is so strong that it pulls Dad up, too! Only one person can rescue this runaway kite, and Sam knows just who that someone is. Will You Carry Me? Age 2-5. When it is time to return home from the park, tired toddler Thomas asks Mom to carry him. She suggests that they jump home instead of walking. "She hitches up her pants and bends her knees," and the two hop off. When the tot tires of this and asks again to be carried, Mom convinces him to pretend to swim, fly, and finally run and chase, laughing all the way home...The succinct and bright text is perfectly matched by the light, sparkling art and expressive faces on the...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. Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, WI All by Myself by Aliki Age 2-5. This jubilant story shows and tells about a child doing all sorts of things independently. "Right shoe,/left shoe./Tie,/comb,/done!/Breakfast's ready,/pour,/crunch,/yum!" The boy goes through a typical day, getting dressed, going to school, visiting the library, practicing his violin, helping with dinner, and getting ready for bed. The back cover features a chart labeled, "What can you do all by yourself?" with verbs such as wash, brush, button, zip, tie, pour, build, and write. --S. Pearce, Geronimo Public School, OK Sebastian's Roller Skates Age 4-8. "A sweet story about a shy boy who gains confidence by learning how to roller skate. This is definitely a book for shy children everywhere!" - Fran Wilson, Colorado State University Bookstore, Fort Collins, CO The Doorbell RangMa has made a dozen delicious cookies. It should be plenty for her two children. But then the doorbell rings--and rings and rings. Each ring of the doorbell brings more friends to share the delicious cookies. "Refreshing, enjoyable and Wanda's RosesWanda finds a thorny bush in a vacant lot and decides that it must be a rosebush that needs a little attention. She thinks about it, does library research, and tends the plant regularly, as various neighbors stop by and attempt gently to talk the child out of her rosy hopes. A month of watering, waiting, and clearing away surrounding trash brings no blooms; undaunted, Wanda attaches paper flowers to her special bush and invites the neighbors to a tea party to see the "rose garden." Cocca-Leffler's droll and friendly gouache and colored-pencil illustrations show a parade of six neighbors of various ages, sizes, and ethnic backgrounds on their way to the party, each bearing a blooming rosebush for the hostess. This story of one person's faith against all odds and a caring community is told simply and with good humor. - School Library Journal The Empty Pot"This is a story about a boy who loves flowers but is unable to grow one in the emperor’s contest. Demi’s exquisite art and beautifully simple text show how Ping’s seeming failure is turned around in this satisfying tale of honesty rewarded." BN |
