Ben's Trumpet
AuthorRachel Isadora
ISBN0688109888
The artwork in this diverse beginning story is amazing. It captures the mood of a hot city night and the jazz club groovin’ out hits. Each page is its own tone. It conveys the mood of Ben, our character. It is also Escher-like at points. I love it.

Ben lives close to the zig zag jazz club and he loves...

The Graphic Alphabet
AuthorDavid Pelletier
ISBN0531360016
A beginning alphabet book with each letter somehow using a graphic representation of a word that starts with that letter. Like ’S’ had steps carved into the letter, or ’T’ was tripping over a dot. Some letters you can see more and some letters are more abstract like C in a circle.

Mice Twice

I don’t like the artwork here. It is very different than anything we have seen, but I don’t think that makes it Caldecott worthy. I do think the story is funny and well done.

Cat wants to eat mouse so he invites him over for dinner and bring a friend. Mouse is too smart for this and brings dog. It’s...
Umbrella
AuthorTaro Yashima
ISBN0140502408
I love Taro Yashima’s work. I need to know more about Taro; are they a boy or girl? How do they come up with these ideas. They are incredible. This is the most details I have seen Taro give in their work. It looks like they use crayons with regular materials to create the art.

This is about a girl who...
