How much is that doggy in the window? No, not that one. That one.
It must be very frustrating to work in the field of cut-paper picture books these days. I imagine your average collage artist will spend countless hours trying to get an illustration or scene just right in their book. At long last they will sigh, wipe the sweat from their forehead, and go out to treat themselves to a bagel or muffin. On the way to the bakery, however, they might pass a ...

Beautiful Read
I first saw this book at the library. I picked it up and was immediately struck. This book is beautiful. Going through various colors, Steve Jenkins, illustrates and describes animals that are that color. The illustrations made me take notice, but within minutes I found myself reading the entries, one after another. The book is a great read and introduced me to many animals that I was unaware of, ...

An engaging nonfiction book for young children
Sisters and Brothers: Sibling Relationships in the Animal World presents all kinds of information and fun facts about animal siblings. For example, did you know that nine-banded armadillos are ALWAYS born as identical quadruplets? Well, did ya? I bet you didn't know that there are no male New Mexico whiptail lizards or that cheetah brothers hunt together throughout their lives while the sisters ...

It is a good, informative book. Although my 9 years old son seems to be very old for this kind of reading, I still bought it for him because of the book's educational value. Surprise, surprise! - my Big Boy liked the book a lot(!) We now quiz each other about various animals... Another good book that I value a lot for its educational content is Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 2 by B. Nowiki. I ...

Steve Jenkins Rocks!
Ever since I discovered Steve Jenkins, I've been seeking out each and every one of his books. I love his illustration style, and his books lay the groundwork for a love of science and an interest in the wonders of the world. This book nicely complements Animal Dads, What Do You Do With a Tail Like This, and What Do You Do When Something Wants To Eat You. All of these titles illustrate biological ...

Amazing, amazing book.
Between the paper-cut collage, the huge pages, the factual information done in a fun way and just the overall style of the book makes this one of my favorites I've reviewed so far. Children and adults will love to measure themselves up to the 3 foot giant gippsland earthworm and find out that the giant squid's eyeball is bigger than their head. There is even an open out middle page of the ...

Excellent book and series
As a mother, teacher, and naturalist, I have been very impressed with this book (as well as the other Let's-Read-and-Find-Out series). It is incredible how so much information is packed into a book for kids and is also full of colorful artwork engaging to the eye. This book about worms covers how worms help the earth, how they eat, make waste, reproduce (tastefully written of course), where they ...

Managerial Accounting: A Focus on Ethical Decision Making

Steve Jackson, Roby Sawyers, ...

South-Western College Pub, 2007

Meh...
This book is essentially an introductory managerial accounting book which purports to be an undergraduate text but is really at a high school level. As promised, it has an "easy-to-understand presentation" and uses a "hands-on learning approach". The book is clear in its presentation, it does a good job at providing plenty of easy-to-read tables, and it uses plenty of real-world applications as ...

Innovative and informative
In "Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest," author/artist Steve Jenkins uses cut-paper collages to teach children about some of the most extreme places on earth. Jenkin's artistic technique really sets this book apart among educational books for young readers. Jenkins takes us to many extraordinary places: Lake Baikal, Russia (the world's deepest lake); Mount Everest (the highest mountain); Atacama ...

Move it or lose it
I review a lot of children's books, but people like Steve Jenkins and Robin Page sometimes make me question the necessity of it all. Is there any point to reviewing the newest Jenkins/Page title ... ever? I mean, let's examine the facts here. These guys get better and more creative with every passing book. Now Jenkins does fine and dandy on his own, true, but Page has the narrative oomph to ...

beautiful artwork for all/subtle poetry
Steve Jenkins artwork is lovely, simple, and crisp so that all ages and even some who are visually impaired can enjoy the pictures; the poetry is subtle and thought provoking; having been a math geek, I wasn't sophisticated enough to understand some of this poetry as a child (in some cases, even in highschool) but some of my friends would have with ease so don't rule the book out thinking the ...

beautiful, creative, absorbing, and my kids love it!
I bought this book because I love Steve Jenkins' other books. His technique is so creative--the papers he uses (I wonder if he makes some of them) and how he uses them evoke so much--texture, color, temperature. My 8 and 10 year old boys loved this book, and we are Mt. Everest nuts. There's plenty of room on the bookshelf for books with photos (Ghosts of Everest: The Search for Mallory & Irvine ...

Awesome illustrations
Vulture View has wonderful illustrations showing the life of a vulture - and and what they eat - eww! There are books about many birds, but not many about this beautiful flyer. And, there are not too many books that help me teach about the letter "V" to my kindergartners.

Prehistoric Actual Size

Steve Jenkins

Houghton Mifflin, 2005

Size matters
In this crazed topsy-turvey world, it's always nice to have something to hold on to. Like the fact that small children are obsessed with dinosaurs, for example. Year after year, babies are born, mature, and grow into bright-eyed preschoolers who shriek continually for just one thing: DINOSAUR BOOKS!!!!! There are worse things in the world. As a children's librarian I see new dino books all ...
