Long ago, a little girl named Laura Ingalls lived in a little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters, Mary and Carrie, and their good old bulldog, Jack.

Soon there was frost on the windows and snow on the ground, but Laura and her folks were warm and cozy in their snug little house in the Big Woods.

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers. Now for the first time, the youngest readers can share her adventures in these very special picture books adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved storybooks. Renée Graef’s warm paintings, inspired by Garth Williams’ classic Little House illustrations, bring Laura and her family lovingly to life.

Tuesday

August 16, 2010 – 7:27 pm

Rating: Rated 4.5 stars (83 reviews)
Author: David Wiesner
Publisher: Sandpiper

Product Description
The unpredictable events of a particular Tuesday unroll before the reader with the precision and clarity of a silent movie. A Caldecott Medal book. Amazon.com Review
“Tuesday evening, around eight”–a deceptively mundane beginning for what proves to be a thrilling, miraculous, and surreal amphibian journey. Slowly and quietly on this particular Tuesday, a few fat frogs begin hovering over a swamp, riding lily pads like magic carpets. Clearly satisfied and comfortable, the floating frogs are as serene as little green buddhas. Gradually, the flying fleet grows in momentum and number, sailing over the countryside and into an unsuspecting town. These frogs know how to have fun–startling the occasional bird, waving webbed feet at late-night snack-eaters, and even changing the channels on a sleeping granny’s television. As day breaks, the frogs lose their lily pads, head back to the pond, and wait impatiently for their next scheduled departure.

Tuesday won the 1992 Caldecott Medal and, among other honors, was named as an ALA Notable Children’s Book. The critical acclaim will come as no surprise to anyone who opens the pages of this beautiful and humorous book. With hardly any words (except those noting the time), David Wiesner creates a wondrous romp as silent as the middle of the night. Using the rich purples, blues, and greens of late evening, Wiesner draws readers into the warm, incandescent world of frog flight. “Read” this wordless wonder to children and savor it for yourself as well. Chances are, you and the youngsters will both find yourselves poised at the window, hoping to catch a few airborne frogs in the act. (Ages 4 and older)

Roller Coaster

August 16, 2010 – 11:21 am

Rating: (16 reviews)
Author: Marla Frazee
Publisher: Sandpiper

Product Description

Clickity, clackity.
Clickity, clackity.

The roller coaster car is going up, up, up to the highest spot. And at least one of the people in the car has never ridden on a roller coaster before . . . ever. Wheeeeeeee!

Amazon.com Review
All sorts of people ride roller coasters, people over a certain height that is. Marla Frazee zooms in on one pony-tailed girl who has never experienced a roller coaster before, ever, in this start-to-finish ride. The anticipation builds much like it does in real-life: “S-l-o-w-l-y the train is pulled up the hill by a chain. Clickity, clackity. Clickity, clackity. Up. Up. Up. And then…” As the train zips and zooms and dips and dives, the pony-tailed girl in the very front seat loves every minute, or almost. In the end, “Most of these people are dizzy./ Some of them have wobbly knees./ But at least one of them is planning/ to ride the roller coaster again.” Frazee’s crisply detailed watercolor drawings of waiting people, happy people, terrified people, and dizzy people are fun to peruse. Youngsters who are Disneyland-bound (or who would just like to be) may be the best audience for this minute-by-minute replay of a roller-coaster ride. (Ages 4 to 7) –Karin Snelson

Bedhead

August 9, 2010 – 12:44 am

Rating: Rated 5.0 stars (12 reviews)
Author: Margie Palatini
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing

Product Description
It was BIG.

It was BAD.

It was…BEDHEAD!

No doubt about it, Oliver’s having a very bad hair day. His parents and sister try to help. They push, they pull, they spritz and they spray; they goop, they glop, and they mousse. But Oliver’s hair is still way out of control. And today’s class picture day!

What’s a boy to do? Amazon.com Review
“In a gunkless corner of the soapy silver soap dish… in a fogless smidgen of his father’s foggy shaving mirror… right there on the hot-water faucet, for heaven’s sake… he saw it!”

Big, bad, BEDHEAD! Oliver’s hair is “way out of control.” Hair is going every which way, and in the back there’s a clump that looks just like a cat’s coughed-up fur ball. Drastic measures are in order. Oliver’s very helpful family pushes, pulls, waters, spritzes, mousses, and hair-pins the recalcitrant locks, all to no avail. Finally, they remember the one true answer to bedhead: a baseball cap. Off to school Oliver goes, everything fine and dandy until he makes a horrible discovery: today is class picture day, and hats are not allowed.

Margie Palatini’s hilarious story will ring painfully true for bedheadites of all ages. Her riotous dialogue flows free and wild, to the most splendid accompaniment of Jack E. Davis’s big-faced (and big-haired) comic illustrations. Anyone who has ever suffered the trauma of bedhead–you know who you are–will weep grateful and giddy tears of joy to read this hairy adventure. A terrific read-aloud. (Ages 6 and older) – Emilie Coulter

David Goes To School

August 1, 2010 – 4:50 am

Rating: (52 reviews)
Author:
Publisher: Blue Sky Press

Product Description
As David zips through his school, he discovers hat his least-favorite word, “no”, is often spoken here: “NO, DAVID!” “No Yelling!” No pushing!” “No running in the halls!” This lighthearted companion to the Caldecott Honor book, NO, DAVID! Is an entertaining, laugh-out-loud romp from the beginning of class to the end of the day. Amazon.com Review
David, the out-of-control monster-child from David Shannon’s Caldecott Honor Book No, David! is back… and ready to disrupt the class. Shannon remembers the word “no” all too clearly from his childhood, and, as he says in his introduction, “It seems that kids haven’t changed much over the years, and neither have school rules, some of which date back even further than the invention of sneakers.” In David Goes to School, young David shows up late to class, goes wacko at the blackboard, chews gum in class, yells answers out of turn, pulls pigtails, stares out the window, cuts in line, has a food fight (“I don’t care who started it!” says the teacher), lingers at recess, and draws on his desk. Colorful, hilarious, childlike illustrations examine our strangely appealing demon-boy at eye level, which is especially disgusting as David stretches an enormous mass of bubble gum from his pointy-toothed maw. After an intense day of exuberant misbehaving, however, he stays after school and washes all the desks until they sparkle. The day ends with a gold star and a pat on the head… something that any child (or adult) would find satisfying. (Click to see a sample spread. Copyright 1999 by David Shannon.

Author: Kimbra Cutlip
Publisher: Pelican Publishing

Product Description
Who needs eight flying reindeer when Santa has a shiny red fire truck? It’s the Christmas Eve shift at Firehouse One, and all the firefighters are sitting down to bowls of hot chili when an old fireman stops by for a bite to eat. No sooner than it takes for the old man to finish his chili, the alarm sounds and the firemen have to leave to fight a fire. They work through the night and return tired but begin to ready their equipment for the next call.

But wait! As they pull into the station, they notice that theirs is the only yard with snow, and there’s a shiny new pumper standing ready. There are even more surprises inside for each firefighter, and as the lieutenant finishes his paperwork, he notices that the old man has listed all the firefighters’ names and who was naughty or nice. Everyone at Firehouse One is left to wonder who that old fireman might have been.

This delightful addition to Pelican’s beloved “The Night Before Christmas Series” honors firefighters across the country for their brave service.

The Christmas Crocodile

July 25, 2010 – 8:05 am

Rating: Rated 5.0 stars (10 reviews)
Author: Bonny Becker
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing

Product Description

On Christmas Eve Alice Jayne finds a crocodile under the tree. The Christmas Crocodile doesn’t mean to be bad, not really, but soon he is eating everything in the house, even the Christmas tree! “Send the beast to Africa,” huffs Uncle Theodore. Aunt Figgy thinks he should be put in an orphanage. “Maybe the zoo?” suggests Father. But Alice Jayne wants to give him a home. Will their Christmas survive if she does

Readers’ appetites for humor will be well satisfied by this rollicking holiday treat. Amazon.com Review
Uncle Theodore is huffing, Aunt Figgy is fretting, and Alice Jayne is tapping her foot–pretty subdued behavior considering the fact that a hungry crocodile has just appeared under the Christmas tree. This eccentric family handles the mysterious reptile remarkably well, even though the beast seems to have an appetite as fierce as its legendary bite. The Christmas Crocodile tears around the house eating everything in sight, whether edible (a roast, five golden oranges, a pineapple upside-down cake) or inedible (a shoe, ribbons, a feather boa, earmuffs, and fruitcake). The family is divided over how to best deal with this unexpected guest. Send him to an orphanage? Pack him off to the zoo? Make him into a pair of shoes? “He’s nice,” said Alice Jayne. “Maybe we could keep him.” Just when it seems the crocodile has eaten all he can stomach, the family awakens to discover that he has consumed nearly all the presents and the Christmas tree too! The one uneaten gift holds the key to this toothsome tale, as well as a surprise that will have kids smiting their foreheads in gleeful anticipation of more mayhem to come.

Author Bonny Becker has crafted a rollicking reptile romp, with an apologetic refrain–”The Christmas Crocodile didn’t mean to be bad, not really”–to which children can surely relate. David Small, creator of the Caldecott Honor-winning The Gardener, accompanies Becker’s spritely, funny text with equally amusing, expressive illustrations that will have youngsters poring over this book long after the last present has been unwrapped.
