(11/30/08) From San Francisco Chronicle - March 20, 2005 "Kid Rock" by Delfin Vigil "This is a song that our friend Syd Barrett taught to us," says the soft-spoken man wearing a turquoise-blue blazer and a goofy top hat. "He used be in a band called the Pink Floyd. And they wrote some wonderful children's songs." Before the dozens of parents in the audience have a chance to question why this cuckoo character and his band have decided to entertain their kids with lyrics from the warped mind of the king of psychedelia, an extraordinary thing happens. Nearly 100 children are jumping up and down and singing along to ... good music. From the impeccably cool likes of T. Rex, Sly & the Family Stone, the Monkees, the Velvet Underground ...See less

(11/29/08) With a dramatic first-person narrative and close-up photography that brings kids into the thick of the action, National Geographic photographer Robert B. Haas gives us a rare glimpse into the struggles for survival in the African wilderness. We accompany him in his jeep, camera primed and ready to react. With stories and photographs that portray actual events, we wait patiently to spot leopard cubs coming out of their cave to play; we are charged by protective adult elephants who surround a new-born; we move side-by-side with a clan of wild dogs as they hunt impalas. This beautiful and inviting book draws readers into Haas's passion for Africa, for conservation, and for finding harmony between the actions of humans and the survival of wild animals. African Critters is a wonderful holiday gift for animal lovers of all ages, a valuable sourcebook for school reports, and an essential addition to any animal book collection. * Ages 6 to 11 * 96 pages * Hardcover * 11'' x 9 1/2'' * ©...See less

(11/29/08) The night sky comes alive for young stargazers in this follow-up to the popular Zoo in the Sky. Poetic text and illustrations highlighted by shimmering stars combine seamlessly to tell the stories of ten men and women of classical Greek mythology and how their names became associated with the constellations that decorate the heavens. Readers will be captivated by delightful tales of the courageous Perseus and his true love, the Princess Andromeda; the mystical winged horse Pegasus; Argo, the ship Jason and the Argonauts sailed in search of the Golden Fleece; and Hercules, son of Zeus and strongest of the Greek demigods. Rounding out the fascinating cast of characters are Orion, Ophiuchus, Cassiopeia, Centaurus, and Lyra. The ten stories of the constellations are followed by a discussion of stars, nebulas, and galaxies. A star map completes the book.See less

(11/29/08) Children take a wondrous tour of our solar system in this stunning new book that weaves mythology and astronomy in magical ways. Jacqueline Mitton's poetic text explores each planet, comparing its features to those of the Roman god or goddess for whom it was named. Although this naming occurred long before humans had accurate information about the planets, the book points out some remarkable coincidences based on what we know today. The veiled goddess Venus, for example, lends her name to a cloud-veiled planet. And the blue, stormy planet Neptune is named for the god of the sea. Christina Balit's glorious illustrations, sparkling with gold-foil accents, bring the mythology to life and draw children into the wonders of our planetary kingdom.See less

(12/18/06) A boy tells of finding an old guitar in his grandfather's garage. His tata sits down to play the instrument and tells him that it was given to him by his own grandfather years before. Providing glimpses at celebrations and family life, from romance to migrant work in the United States, the economical prose makes clear that in passing on the guitar, Tata is also passing along his heritage. Full-page pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, though strong in line, are sometimes awkward in execution. The layout, with boxed English text above and Spanish text below, is attractive. The story reads aloud equally well in English and Spanish. Similar in its warm tone to Alma Flor Ada's I Love Saturdays y domingos (Atheneum, 2002), this is a serviceable tale of a loving intergenerational relationship. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description Readers will treasure this bilingual book about the transmission of musical heritage Dust-covered boxes, old and forgotten...See less

(11/19/06) It's the Spring of Creation, and all of the animals are busy doing what they do best. There was no confusion. But suddenly, a strange, furless, shell-less creature appears in their midst and the animals are mystified by the strange being. The bear knew that this creature would not be as strong, the deer knew it would not be as fast, and even the grasshopper knew it was not going to hop and screech like him. What follows is a raucous debate about what to do with the helpless being. Eat the creature? Defend the creature? Leave it to fend for itself in the forest? The fate of humanity rests in the paws and wings of the animal community. Acclaimed author Victor Villaseñor returns, once again, to capture a traditional children's tale for a new generation. In fresh, colloquial prose Villaseñor's second children's book echoes the oral tradition, as he recalls a story that his mother told him as a child. Brought to life by bold illustrations, this playful fable celebrates the...See less
