Great Read
We adore this book! My almost [...] wants to read it everyday. We never read it just once. She loves the illustrations and the rhymes. I can't say enough about how great this book is. Even our 4 month old responds to it!

Dream Hop
I bought this book for my grandchildren. I loved it the first time I read it. It provides a great means for dealing with childhood fears - and it's humorous. The illustrations are great. I highly recommend this book for any child's - or grandparent's - library.
  
  











  



  
The Walls of Cartagena23 reviews
Julia Durango

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008

A potentially heavy topic, well written and engaging for all ages
I was intrigued by this book because of its topic - slavery. This is a potentially very heavy topic that can be difficult to handle, especially for young readers. However in "The Walls of Cartagena" the perfect balance was struck. I read this with my young son and we were both taken in by the vivid story telling and development of characters. I hope to see more books like this and more ...
  
  











  



  
Pest Fest1 review
Julia Durango

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2007

Great Science Tie
I am an elementary school teacher, and when I read this book I could immediately see the wonderful factual information included. I created an extension activity for my unit on insects using Pest Fest as the basis. This book would also be a terrific springboard for a discussion of verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and taglines. Julia has such a great handle of children's lit. I would also recommend ...
  
  











  



  
Angels Watching Over Me3 reviews

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2007

Perfect for Babies, Easter and spring!!
This is the most beautiful picture book to come along in years. Each page is a feast for the eyes and lyrical for the ear. Durango has added new stanzas to the traditional slave spiritual "All Night, All Day" to soothe new generations of souls. If I have to choose a favorite line: "Bird says sing, I hum a tune./Cloud floats by, a lace balloon." Perfectly lovely! Whimsical illustrations in a ...
  
  











  



  
Yum! Yuck! A Foldout Book of People Sounds2 reviews
Linda Sue Park, Julia Durango, ...

Charlesbridge Publishing, 2005

yum, yuck, some language learning
This is such a unique way to present the idea of foreign langauges to children. It isn't meant to make your children fluent, but just to show that people sounds like yum, yikes, yuck, and ah-choo aren't said the same way around the world. The illustrations are colorful and the foldout part lets you guess what the foreign words mean in English before you check for yourself. I highly recommend this ...
  
  











  



  
Peter Claver, Patron Saint of Slaves/Pedro Claver, Santo Patrono de los Esclavos2 reviews
Julia Durango

Paulist Press, 2002

Perfect
This is a terrific example of a spiritual book for kids. The poetic text rivals that of the secular classics, and the pictures are rich, textured, and deeply moving. Yet there's no overt message, no preaching, no denominational stand. It's just a wonderful book -- period.
