M. LaVora Perry, Author Floyd Cooper, Illustrator Fifth grade isn't exactly easy for eleven-year-old Taneesha Bey-Ross. For one thing, she's getting tired of being her best friend Carli Flanagan's personal bodyguard. Carli wears a leg brace and she's white, and when Taneesha does stand up for Carli in the face of a local bully-a giant of a girl with big fists and army boots-she's told to expect revenge. Taneesha's also running a loser's race for class president, and her love-hate interest Rayshaun has learned that Taneesha is a Buddhist, so now he's taunting her, saying that she's going to hell. Her mom may have told her that Taneesha's got heaven in her heart, but it doesn't feel that way. And just in case she forgets it, there's always Evella, Taneesha's evil imaginary twin, to remind her that she's a total failure. This beautifully written, fun, and instantly engaging novel presents vivid characters and a timely story about the big issues that every child faces. See less

By Pamela S. Turner Non-Fiction: Companion Animals Honor 2004 This pretty picture book pays tribute to one of Japan’s most beloved heroes, Hachiko the Akita. Every afternoon, the loyal canine would wait at the train station for his owner, Dr., Ueno, to return home from work. When the doctor died suddenly one day in 1925, Hachiko returned to the station every day to wait for him, until his own death ten years later. Told through the eyes of a shy boy who befriends the dog, this sweet story is very compelling for young animal lovers. Readers of all ages can’t help but fall in love with Hachiko, and will no doubt want to read the author’s notes that explain more about this loveable four-legged hero. Also worthy of mention are Yan Nascimbene’s simple but strong line-and-watercolor illustrations, which are reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints. Overall, wonderful to read and look at. See less

Around the beginning of the common era, Indian Buddhists began to collect fables, or jataka tales, illuminating various human virtues and foibles—from kindness, cooperation, loyalty and self-discipline on the one hand to greed, pride, foolishness, and treachery on the other. Instead of populating these stories with people, they cast the animals of their immediate environment in the leading roles—which may have given the tales a universal appeal that helped them travel around the world, surfacing in the Middle East as Aesop's fables and in various other guises throughout East and Southeast Asia, Africa, Russia, and Europe. Author and painter Mark McGinnis has collected over forty of these hallowed popular tales and retold them in vividly poetic yet accessible language, their original Buddhist messages firmly intact. Each story is accompanied with a beautifully rendered full-color painting, making this an equally attractive book for children and adults, whether Buddhist or not, who... See less

From School Library Journal PreSchool-Hoban adds to her string of handsome, well-designed books for very young children. These black-and-white board books will attract infants beginning to focus their eyes as well as to toddlers ready to name or talk about objects and animals. What Is That? features large white silhouettes of familiar objects such as a pacifier, stuffed bunny, a stroller, a table and a chair, set against a glossy black background. A balloon on a partly coiled string appears ready to float across the page. In Who Are They? black silhouettes of animals are displayed against flat white pages. The positioning of parents opposite children creates interest and offers counting possibilities, as the number of young animals increases by one with each flip of the page. Two titles that are sure to be popular with the board-book set. Nancy Seiner, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Babies generally like two kinds of books: ones with photos of other babies and animals, and ones with solid black on white illustrations. I experienced my own frustrations in trying to get my infant daughter interested in books with bright colorful illustrations, and she just didn't perceive them as something worth looking at. But then I remembered what I had been told years before in a children's bookstore, and when I switched to the two categories above, she got very excited. This is a sweet little collection of black animal shapes on white backgrounds, with no text at all. It's a good book for a few months, but as soon as your child gets past this stage, it quickly will get put in storage (until the next one comes along, or for the next baby shower gift).

From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 4 - Beautifully illustrated in two distinct styles, this book introduces readers to a Zen approach to the world, wrapped in a story about three siblings and their new neighbor, a panda. One by one, the children visit Stillwater, enjoying his company and listening to him tell a brief tale that illustrates a Zen principle. Each time, there is a link between the conversation shared by Stillwater and his visitor and the story he tells; it's somewhat tenuous in regard to the two older siblings, quite specific in the case of Karl, the youngest. The tales invite the children to consider the world and their perceptions from a different angle; for Karl, the panda's story gently but pointedly teaches the benefits of forgiveness. Richly toned and nicely detailed watercolors depict the "real world" scenes, while those accompanying the Zen lessons employ black lines and strokes on pastel pages to create an interesting blend of Western realism and more...

By Janell Cannon Fiction: Environment and Ecology Award Award 2004 From the author of Stellaluna comes this laugh-out-loud picture book featuring a cuddly, clever hyena—and an important lesson about the power of words. Pinduli’s mama has always told her that she’s the most beautiful hyena ever. But when her dog, lion and zebra neighbors on the East African plains make fun of her big ears, “prickly fringe” of a mane and the “lack of symmetry and clarity” amongst her stripes, Pinduli feels terrible—and begins to doubt herself. After doing the best she can to transform her “flaws,” via a dip in the waterhole and a roll in the dust, a surprising chain of events is triggered… With its message of self-acceptance and kindness towards others, plus an endearing cast of characters, this book is one that kids will want to “visit” again and again. Excellent to kick off a discussion about teasing and how our words can have far-reaching effects. A four-page “Meet the Family” introduces readers to... See less

By Corinne Demas Fiction: Companion Animals Award 2004 A young girl and her lovable dog, Lulu, are faithful companions from the very start. Together, they enjoy mucking in streams, playing ball and exploring. But as Lulu ages and starts to slow down, they are unable to do the things they used to. The girl understands that her best friend is sick and will not get well; when the time comes to say goodbye, she can do nothing but cry. What can she do? She wants Lulu back and doesn’t want another dog, as her parents have suggested. How do you honor a loved one and still move on with your life? Saying Goodbye to Lulu is one of the best books we’ve read on pet loss for children. The young narrator moves through various stages of grief, and experiences emotions that anyone who has lost a pet, no matter how old or young, can relate to. It’s sweet without being sentimental, and presents the truth without losing any tenderness. Ard Hoyt’s illustrations are perfect. See less
