An Italian boy sips from a fountain in the town square. A hiker takes a refreshing drink from a mountain stream. Black-robed women in India stride gracefully through a field with brass water jugs balanced on their heads. Whether they squeeze it out of a burlap bag, haul it home from a communal tap, or get it out of their kitchen faucet, people all around the world are unified by their common need for water. Barbara Kerley brings home this ...

Everybody do the dinosaur
Occasionally, from time to time, I like to trick little children. And as a children's librarian in a public library, I have plenty of time and opportunity to do so. So when I'm in the right mood and I feel particularly devilish, I mosey on over to the biography section of the library and ever-so-casually pull out "The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins". After determining that no one has seen me, ...

Thunderstruck
Walt Whitman lived a life of a "rough", or an everyman, and his poetry reflected his very special common uniqueness. Going against prescribed form of the time, Whitman fashioned himself a style of poetry unto itself, brash, fresh, untamed. Such words can be used to descirbe this stunning, and I mean absolutely stunning, children's book on the life of Walt Whitman, by Barbara Kerley, illustrated ...

fun for kids and adults
If only they had books like this when I was young...I may have enjoyed history. This is a great book...and a great subject. Alice is hilarious and independent...and the illustrations are as colorful and entertaining as her antics are. A great book for young girls...encourages independence, curiousity, humor, and adventure. Don't miss this one!

Songs of Papa's Island

Houghton Mifflin, 1995

Cute Freshman Outing in the World of Children's Literature
'Songs of Papa's Island' is a cute freshman outing for Barbara Kerley. In words it does capture the 'sights, sounds, and feelings of a unique and wonderful place,' as its inside cover states, though I can't help but feel that it would have benefited from more articulate illustrations. For their individual merit, Katherine Tilllotson's images and cover are pleasant and incorporate a popular ...
