Putnam Juvenile, 2007

The Three Snow Bears
As a Kindergarten teacher I relish a new great book to use with my students at school. This is a wonderful, artistic, multicultural adaptation of the original Three Bears folktail. Thoroughly enjoyed by the kids, as well as, myself. Jan Brett's illustrations keep you coming back fora closer examination as her borders are rich and give clues to what's happening next and while the story moves ...

A Christmas Heirloom
Each year I add a Christmas book to each of my grandchildren's collections. This book is right at the top of my list of fine collectible childrens books. Not only did Grandma enjoy the incredible art work and stories but so did each of our five grandchildren and their parents. The book was read repeatedly throughout the holiday season. I know this book will be treasured and brought out every ...

Delightful and amusing
My 3-year-old loves this book and so do I. I've been reading it to her for over a year and it's always been a favorite. It has great illustrations and a clever, original story.

The Deceived

Brett Battles

Delacorte Press, 2008

The Deceived is a certain contender for 2008's Top Ten lists
Brett Battles's debut novel, 2007's THE CLEANER, introduced a unique character in Jonathan Quinn. Quinn is a "cleaner," who comes in to quickly, quietly and efficiently clean up a mess --- more often than not, one involving a body --- that someone else has made before it's discovered. Battles probably could have turned a number of interesting, even intriguing, scenarios along just these lines ...

The Umbrella

Putnam Juvenile, 2004

Imagination in a rain forest
(NOTE: This is my third in a series of reviews about rain forests by children's authors. My point is to show visually how divergent talent can be concerning the same topic--in this case, the rain forest, which needs to be protected and preserved. The other two books are Rain Forest (Kingfisher Voyages) and The Living Rain Forest. These three together would make a great teaching unit.) Jan ...

I loved this book! These two incredible teen authors break the mold of the "typical teenager" and share their wonderful advice to other teens on how to prove the "lazy teenager" stereotype wrong. A MUST READ FOR ALL TEENS (AND SOME ADULTS TOO!)

Town Mouse, Country Mouse

Putnam Juvenile, 2003

ONE OF THE BETTER VERSIONS OF THIS OLD, OLD STORY!
As near as we can tell, Aesop's Fables date back to at least the 6th Century B.C. I personally feel that many of these tales are even older and Aesop had probably recorded quite a number of old folk tales from the past. Be-that-as-it-may, this is a rewrite of one of my favorite of Aesop's Fables. This story has been told and retold in countless languages, in countless countries and it would be ...

For every morning, the Tomten comes and takes her newly laid egg for his breakfast. Enter Hedgie, the hedgehog with a clever idea and a few tricks up his proverbial sleeve.

On Noah's Ark

9 reviews

Putnam Juvenile, 2003

Lovely book for church libraries
This is another lovely book by Jan Brett. The artwork is wonderful and the text is from the viewpoint of Noah's grandson. I bought this for our church library and am glad I did. I also suggest "Naamah: The Story of Noah's Wife" by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso for little girls. It stresses Naamah's job in preserving seeds and plants for use after the flood, and makes the Noah story less of a "men did ...

Airbrushing and Finishing Scale Models (Modelling Masterclass)

1 review
Brett Green

Osprey Publishing, 2008

A good book, but much more on application than technique.
I just finished reading this book and am still forming an opinion of it. I expected a bit more on the technique of using an air brush, meaning how to physically hold it and maneuver it. Instead, it shows various models, mostly aircraft, in various stages of being painted. While I did pick up a few tips applying masks and such, the actual information pertaining to what I was looking for was scant. ...

Comet's Nine Lives

22 reviews

Putnam Juvenile, 2001

Beautiful Illustrations and an Entertaining Storyline
As always, the drawings by Jan Brett are amazing. The detail shows just how deeply she researches all of her subjects before starting a project. This story follows Comet, and adventure-seeking cat on Nantucket who manages to find trouble wherever he goes and quickly uses up his "nine lives" before he finds a wonderful home at the lighthouse. For those who have trouble with the idea of ...
