day of the dead for children unfamiliar with it
I loved this book, it really captures the spirit of the holiday as celebrated in Latin America through the eyes of a child. The paintings are gorgeous and it has a great ending.

Waiting for Mama
Tae-Joon Lee

North-South Books, 2007

Told in a few lines of text, this tender story was first published in a newspaper in 1938. This tale from Korea is universal--a small child waits for Mama at the station, asking the conductor if he has seen her. The conductor hasn't, but cautions the child to wait a little farther from the tracks. It is cold and snowy but the child waits patiently until finally Mama comes. In the last wordless spread, we see the small hand in a mother's firm ...

Chameleon's Colors
Chisato Tashiro

North-South Books, 2003

Chameleon is tired of constantly changing colors. He blends in wherever he goes and no one ever sees him! Hippo, however, is envious of Chameleon. He would love to be a different color. Surprisingly, all of the other animals in the jungle would too! So Chameleon sets to work painting stripes on the lion, polka-dots on the elephant--using every color and pattern under the sun. But as the animals soon learn, changing their original appearance ...

Cinderella, a fairy tale Illustrated by Loek Koopmans
This is one of the best retold stories of Cinderella out there. The story is clear and one that students grades 2 - 4 would benefit from reading, both for enjoyment and to boost their reading skills. The illustrations are lighthearted, colorful and pleasant, contrasting with the somewhat forbidding and fearsome illustrators of other fairy tales. This makes the book even more appropriate ...

Great for Preschoolers
As a children's librarian, I am often looking for fairy tales written simply for my preschool storytimes. This book meets my needs with large, colorful pictures and simple text. The traditional story is presented although the bears are far from frightening for little children. The bears are the sympathetic characters, especially with their amusement at Goldilock's invasion of their home and ...

My favorite book when i was little
I love this book!! The illustrations are wonderful and they always captured my attention. The story is of a little polar bear, Lars who goes on an adventure away from his clean, white home in the North Pole. He makes a new friend, who helps him on his adventure. I still love this book. I take it babysitting with me sometimes, and all the kids have liked it too.

Super story!
This is a fantastic book! My sons (age 3) love it...from the sing-song rhyming text to the wonderfully detailed illustrations. They find something new in the pictures every time we read the book. The predictable text also lets them "read" the story to me. This book is a must for any home library!

Halloween

Could it be . . . ?
Greg Couch's big, broad illustrations, with their pearly moon-lit glow, cleverly straddle the line between reality and fantasy, where leaves blowing through the sky could be broomstick-riding witches, and where windows are the glowing eyes of an ominous house. But lest you think it's all tease, the real spooks arrive soon enough for a riotous conclave that impresses the wide-eyed children on ...

The Ugly Duckling
Hans Christian Andersen

North-South Books, 2007

Ever since its publication in 1845, Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling has been a favorite with generations of children around the world. Today's youngsters will be equally moved by the hapless ugly duckling, who, ridiculed and rejected by all, suffers terrible hardships. And they will celebrate along with him when he finally emerges triumphant as the most beautiful swan of all! Bernadette Watts's detailed illustrations chronicle the ...

Rainbow Fish Colors - board book
Rainbow Fish is as colorful as usual on the front and back cover. The inside pages are all about color but are not brightly colored. Brighter colors would be more stimulating and attractive to the age group for which this book is intended.
