The plot of this book, for 4-year-olds and up, involves the travails of Al, a janitor who lives in a dingy apartment on Manhattan's West Side with his dog Eddie. One day, a funny-looking bird sticks its huge head through Al's bathroom window and proposes a journey to a terrific place where there are "no worries" and "no cares." Al agrees and takes Eddie with him. What the two experience is paradise--butterflies, wildflowers, chirping birds and cool streams--but it soon gives way to the uncertainties of being away from home, and a moral: that home is where the heart is. This sharp, wry and tender story, which won the 1987 Caldecott Medal, marks Yorinks' and Egielski's fourth highly praised collaborative work

Great books to help teach primary kids the concept of adjectives (describing words, word choice). The pictures and the silly "riddles" are wonderful. For example: The quietest thing in the world is a worm in eating peanut butter. Students will love to make up their own "Most Thing".

PreSchool-Grade 2-A boy delays cleaning his room to avoid disturbing his four sleeping pets. However, a noisy fly appears and irritates one animal after another. In their frantic efforts to catch it, the dog, cat, hamster, and parakeet unwittingly manage to tidy the entire room before resuming their naps.

Sneed's watercolors bring the text to life, portraying how the various piles of clutter are eliminated through the creatures' antics. Readers will want to flip back and forth between the messy and tidy scenes and explore the intermediate pages to figure out exactly how everything got back into its proper place. This energetic and amusing book has great read-aloud potential and offers plenty for individuals to look at on their own.

The Bunyans [Paperback]
Audrey Wood (Author)


Product Details
Reading level: Ages 4-8
Paperback: 32 pages
Publisher: Scholastic Inc. (January 1, 1949)
Language: English
condition: new

One of the rootin'-est, tootin'-est, riproarin'-est heroes of American tall tales is given a whole new lease on life as Wood imagines an entire family of Bunyans. When Paul, the legendary lumberjack, meets Carrie McIntie, a giantess "banging a behemoth pickax against a wall," it's love at first sight. They produce two children, a "jumbo boy" named Little Jean and a "gigantic girl" named Teeny. Wood (The Napping House) exuberantly blends outrageous exaggeration with fantastical geography lessons: Pa Bunyan scoops out Niagara Falls to enable Teeny to shower an infestation of pesky bears from her maple syrup-ridden hair; Ma Bunyan creates Old Faithful by poking holes in Wyoming with her pickax to release hot water for the laundry and dishes; and so on. Shannon (The Amazing Christmas Extravaganza) joins Wood in this rollicking ride with archly humorous illustrations. Who can resist a retired Ma and Pa Bunyan, for example, dressed in leisure wear and playing croquet in the desert? Author and artist clearly had fun here, and readers undoubtedly will, too. Ages 4-9.

The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery [Paperback]
Graeme Base (Author, Illustrator)


Product Details
Reading level: Ages 9-12
Paperback: 32 pages
Publisher: Puffin (September 1, 1997)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 9780140561609
condition: like new

Reading The Eleventh Hour is like running a marathon: one finishes exhausted but satisfied. Graeme Base, creator of the popular Animalia, has crafted another intricately wrought, gorgeously illustrated picture book, this time a mystery in verse. When Horace the Elephant decides to throw himself a party for his 11th birthday, he never suspects a crime will be committed by lunchtime. Who has stolen the birthday feast? As with any good mystery, everyone is guilty until proven innocent. The proof lies in the myriad clues embedded in each glorious illustration. Young sleuths will delight in decoding the complex messages that pop up in unexpected places.
Graeme Base used the buildings he saw during his travels through Africa, Asia, and Europe to design and decorate Horace's fantastic house. Astute readers may recognize Roman cathedrals, Scottish palaces, and stone carvings from India. Best of all, secreted in these walls are cryptic messages in Egyptian hieroglyphics, anagrams, and even Morse code to challenge the perceptive and deductive abilities of any reader "of tender years or long in tooth." The Eleventh Hour is a brilliant, rigorous, creative romp that no child (or adult) should miss. (All Ages)

The Flying Dragon Room [Paperback]
Audrey Wood (Author)

Product Details
Paperback
Publisher: Scholastic (January 1996)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0590481940

condition: new but has a tiny curl to one corner.
Kindergarten-Grade 3?The summer Patrick's parents hire Mrs. Jenkins to help them paint the house, the handywoman lends the bored boy her "special tools" to make a creation of his own. At the end of the week, it is revealed: a Small Creature Garden in the Subterranean Room, connected by a Zig-Zaggity-Ladder to the Bubble Room. Then there's the Food Room, where pig waiters serve treats of all kinds to diners of a variety of species; the Jumping Room, where rabbits and frogs join jumping humans; and a sail upon the Jolly Mermaid, where the underwater fire lizard is converted into a harmless handful; and finally the Friendly Wild Animal Room. The text, primarily in dialogue, is wonderfully deadpan. The full-color paintings, done in a retro, 1950s style, are loaded with sly visual humor. Creatures stare out at readers, and each room is a marvel of construction. Shifts in perspective add to the lively tempo of the book. Double-page spreads reflect expert composition, drawing the eye inevitably to some unique detail. Mrs. Jenkins, a wonderfully wacky Jill-of-all-trades, is an added bonus in this nontraditional adventure. Inventive and refreshing, this picture book vividly reflects a young child's active imagination. Kids will ask for read-aloud encores, and it will be a terrific imagination starter.
