Kevin Henkes lives in Madison, Wisconsin. His novels include the Newbery Honor book Olive's Ocean, and The Birthday Room, Protecting Marie and Words of Stone. Among his picture books are Owen, a 1994 Caldecott Honor Book; Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse; and Julius, the Baby of the World. His latest picture book is Kitten's First Full Moon. In His Own Words... "I remember drawing at a very early age. I loved it. And my parents and teachers told me I was good at it -- that made me love it all the more. "I also loved books, and the ones I was lucky enough to own were reread, looked at over and over, and regarded with great respect. To me great respect' meant that I took them everywhere, and the ones I still own prove it. They're brimming with all the telltale signs of true love: dog-eared pages, fingerprints on my favorite illustrations, my name and address inscribed on both front and back covers in inch-high crayon lettering, and the faint smell of stale peanut butter on the bindings.

Almost fearless Sheila Rae, of Sheila Rae, the Brave fame, is back... this time with a peppermint stick. This peppermint stick is "long. And striped. And thin. And sweet." And it's all hers. But then along comes Sheila Rae's little sister, Louise, hankering for some of that spicy sweetness. "Please?" she says, ever so hopefully. Sheila Rae, in the quintessential way of big sisters, proceeds to taunt, torment, and tease her younger sibling. "You can have one lick if you can guess how many stripes there are." Smugly, she waits for Louise's answer of "Thirteen-seven." Readers of the earlier Sheila Rae title will not be too surprised to see this mouse heroine get her comeuppance once again, and everyone will rejoice at the happy, win-win finale. Kevin Henkes, creator of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse and many other award-winning and beloved picture books, creates a charming pair of characters in this simple, very amusing story with a familiar theme. The small board-book format--Henkes's... See less

Reviewed with Kevin Henkes' Julius's Candy Corn . PreS. Food is at the forefront of these board books featuring two of Henkes' signature characters, the worried Wemberly and "baby of the world" Julius. Julius has been told not to eat the 10 cupcakes for the Halloween party. Instead, he starts counting the candy corn on the top of each treat--counting by popping each morsel of corn in his mouth. Wemberly, on the other hand, is so worried that her ice cream bar will drip on her dress (or that there won't be enough for Petal, her stuffie) that she and Petal finally wind up eating ice-cream soup. The text is very short; the drama is in the art, one image to each candy-colored page. The youngest of Henkes' fans might not understand all the nuances (yes, nuances) of these vignettes. But kids who love the characters will welcome a new glimpse of them, and Julius' story could be used with a small group of toddlers for a Halloween story hour.

A little girl and her Grandpa are going to make pizza together. She begins by asking, "Where are our chef hats?" The reader lifts the flaps that open the blue closet doors and there they are. Each page contains a question that is answered by lifting the flap on the page. Lifting the last flap reveals the two of them eating their pizza. The chef hats are a nice touch to the illustrations that show the little girl and her grandfather mixing and rolling out the dough, tossing the pizza in the air, and adding the cheese. Pizza is a favorite food, and Grandpa is certainly a favorite person.. They come together in a fun and simple lift-the-flap" board book. 2004, Little Simon/ Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, Ages 2 to 5. See less

How do you teach a young child to have faith, to believe in things he can't see? This book is an ideal teaching tool to help very young Latter-day Saints understand the Heavenly Father is real, and that his love can be felt all around us. Through the eyes, ears, hands, and nose of a precocious little girl, children will begin to grasp the first principle of the gospel. For example, in one instance she says, "When Grandma calls me on the telephone, I can't see her . . . but I know she is there." With each page, readers can lift-the-flap with a discovery that will reaffirm their faith, remembering, "If you have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."

What child can resist a counting book that uses hugs to teach numbers? Each spread focuses on a number from one to 10 and shows a mother and baby in a special type of embrace, such as "three 'We're off to the park' piggyback hugs" and "five 'Mommy will fix it!' don't-cry hugs." Close-ups of loving expressions and a visual feast of bright patterns give kids plenty to pore over while their moms offer loving hugs of their own.

PreS—The hapless mother in this bouncy rhyming tale just can't keep track of her silly baby: he gets switched with the chimpanzee at the zoo, with the dancing bear at the circus, with a lazy sow at the farm, and with a buffalo at the Wild West show. Then, when she finally gets the child home for a nap, all the animals follow. The flexible tot makes himself right at home in every new environment, swinging from the ropes with the monkeys, walking the tightrope, rolling in the mud, and twirling a lasso. Each time he greets Mom again, he adds a new phrase learned from his animal friends, for a cumulative festival of animal sounds that storytime listeners will love. Shepherd's bright, wildly cartoonlike oil paintings perfectly reflect the wackiness of the text.

It's Waddle! And it's in color. And boy, is it irresistible. In the same way that kids can't read Gallop! without wanting to gallop around the room, Waddle!, an animals-in-motion Scanimation book, will inspire prancing, hopping, stomping, and scampering. And did we mention color? Created by the optical genius behind the phenomenal #1 and #2 New York Times bestselling children's books, Gallop! and Swing!, Waddle! adds touches of color to the images and integrates it into the text. That prancing pig is pink, the leaping dolphin is blue, the slithering snake yellow. The Scanimation itself is also more lifelike, as the author continues to refine his patented Scanimation process, resulting in a more fluid, realistic motion. Nothing else compares. Waddle! teaches color and movement. Its language is a joy, the rhymes inspiring, the animals full of life. And one more thing: Waddle! has a surprise ending. Something else to grab the reader—literally. See less

Artist Sandra Boynton has been charming adults for decades with her whimsical, animal-centric greeting cards and her droll sense of humor. When Boynton transferred her weirdly wonderful critters to board books for babies, she made publishing history. These short, hilarious books are perfectly suited to toddler tastes, with their small size, few words, cheerful colors, funny jokes, and silly animals. Blue Hat, Green Hat is all about getting dressed, and stars a very silly turkey who just doesn't get it. (Feet in the hat, pants on the head, etc.) His continuing refrain is "Oops." Moo, Baa, LA LA LA! investigates the sounds animals make, including pigs who sing. Doggies is "a counting and barking book" about the many sounds dogs can make, and A to Z frolics through the alphabet with amusing animal antics from an aardvark admiring to a zebra zigzagging. Parents love Boynton as much as kids do, and these four books in a compact boxed set will no doubt become household favorites! (Baby to... See less

The thinking's not fuzzy in these board books, but the animals certainly are. Sandra Boynton's familiar furry creatures introduce simple concepts in this bright collection of four books, replete with clever line drawings. In Horns and Toes and In Between, three horned monsters teach the parts of the body in rhyme: "...and we have a fuzzy TUMMY that we all like to pat / and a little BELLY BUTTON in the middle of that." The Going to Bed Book gets a Noah's Ark of animals organized for bed: "They hang their towels on the wall / and find pajamas, big and small." Opposites is just that: cute animals "high and low / fast and slow / heavy and light / day and night." In the rhyming reader But Not the Hippopotamus, a hippo finds himself on the outs as "a cat and two rats are trying on hats. / But not the hippopotamus. / A moose and a goose together have juice. / But not the hippopotamus." Rest assured the hippo finds love at the end. (Baby to preschool) --Claire Dederer See less

PreSchool-Grade 2 A delightful picture book, perfect for both independent reading pleasure and for telling aloud. The Little Old Lady. . . is a clever reworking of the classic story of a ghostly body that appears bit by bit (see ``What's the Matter'' in Maria Leach's Whistle in the Graveyard Viking, 1974 ). The humor of the little old lady's fearless attitude and her clever solution as to what to do with the lively shoes, pants, shirt, pumpkin head, etc., that are chasing her, will enchant young audiences. The catchy refrain never falters, and the rhythmic repeated sounds made by each of the woman's pursuers are sure to appeal to children. Lloyd's brilliantly-colored, detailed folk art-style illustrations are a perfect complement to the text.
