Dial, 1998

The illustrations were magnificent-I would know-I'm the girl
I was the model for the young girl named Donna. It's a first-person story-and I'm telling it. My grandpa is the Jukebox Man. He is also on the cover. My whole family is in it. My little sister is in it, my dad is, my mom is, and my grandma is. This is a great book for children. James Ransome took many pictures of us in different poses, when we were in his studio. He then painted oil ...

Magical artwork
If you have any appreciation for the artwork of this genre of picture books, then you must buy this book. I have many picture books, and I thought Kraft was the best illustrator, until I saw this book. While Kraft's work is amazing and mysterious, the artwork done by Laurel Long completely blows my mind. I've never been in such awe looking at pages from a picture book. It amazes me how ...

Recommended
For me this book is about the values of sharing and kindness. For that reason I have a great esteem for "The Bake shop Ghost" . Another book that I very much recommend for the same reason is a new series by B. Nowiki titled "Why Some Cats are Rascals". I am very much impressed with the first book of that series.

The Reptile Ball

Dial, 1997

A variety of poems presenting reptile facts within a fantasy
This book presented facts about types of reptiles through poetry in a way that captivated my five-year-old boy. He enjoyed the whimsical pictures and the context: imagining what it would be like to see reptiles dancing at a ball--without eating each other! In addition to reptile facts, the book demonstrated many different types of poetic form. A rhythmic reading of this books entertained and ...

The Magic Nesting Doll

Dial, 2000

Best children's book ever
This is the most exquisitely illustrated and delightfully magical book for children I have ever read. My daughter just gazes at the pictures, and she'll never let me read "just a few pages". We always have to read the entire book, and each and every time she is as enchanted as the first time we read it together. This is the kind of story I wish my mother could have read to me as a child. And I'm ...

A Cowboy Named Ernestine

Fantastic! Get This Absolutely Delightful Cowgrrl Tale
Along with Patricia Polacco and Rosemary Wells, Nicole Rubin is one of my favorite author/illustrators of children's books. Although perhaps not as well known as Polacco and Wells, Rubin earned acclaim for her very popular "Rotten Ralph" books (a deliciously riotous series she co-created with Jack Gantos), the clever "Cyrano the Bear," and many others. This book, "A Cowboy Named Ernestine," ...

Dial, 1994

A wonderful story for anyone with a quirky sense of humor.
I recommend this book to many people as a wonderful twist on an old tale. The illustrations are delightfully spooky, and the violence is always off-scene. I am a great lover of animals and children who also are might be a tiny bit disturbed at the pets' disappearances. However, I especially appreciate it as a way to open up discussion about different cultural expectations and about parents ...
