And Tango Makes Three
AuthorJustin Richardson
ISBN0689878451
This true story about two penguins who live in the Central Park Zoo has been creating quite a controversy. I heard about the book this morning on The View (yes, I do inevitably end up watching four women squabbling on tv when I don't have to work, and controversies like this are the reason I keep going back!)....

The Dark
AuthorLemony Snicket
ISBN0316187488
You do not know the temptation I am fighting right now to begin this review with some grandiose statement equating a fear of the dark with a fear of death itself. You have my full permission to slap me upside the head if I start off my children’s books reviews with something that bigheaded. The whole reason...
The Rabbit Listened

A universal, deeply moving exploration of grief and empathy

With its spare, poignant text and irresistibly sweet illustrations, The Rabbit Listened is a tender meditation on loss.

Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings
AuthorDouglas Florian
ISBN0152053727
Now perhaps I am missing something with regard to Douglas Florian's illustrations because I have been reading Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings as a Kindle download. For although I do kind of and to a certain small extent appreciate the work that must have gone into the pictures...

Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth
AuthorOliver Jeffers
SO Sweet! A father’s story explaining his world when his child is 2 months old.

I love this book. It does the macrocosm all the way to the day to day, not quite microcosm. It is powerful to show how small this little planet is in all that space and then when you see all the diversity and wonders on...

The Tunnel
AuthorAnthony Browne
ISBN0744552397
The illustrations are brilliant, and could easily tell most, if not all, of the story. There are so many different opportunities for this book. Be it grammatical features or picture analysis. It bridges the world of reality with that of fairy tales which in itself creates lots of writing opportunities....
