An excellent book on fears and their ability to get more and more frightening if you don't face them head on. An extra star for the semi-graphic novel features of this book with smaller vignettes before the full page picture.

A nice break away from realistic picture books and talking dogs and cats, Base presents a fantastical, mysterious man that helps solve Jim's crisis on the farm.

A perfect book to highlight the importance of participatory and imaginative reading. This is a good middle grounds for parents that hate wordless books.
The watercolor artwork is light and pleasant and the variety of animals is fun. Although the amount of animals is excessive--particularly without a plot--this would be a fun book to read a little at a time. Kids might be particularly drawn to one set of animals or their favorite animal and want to return to it again and again.

I suppose this could have turned out a lot worse, considering most girls will immediately glomb to the cover/title without consideration for the innards. While the writing and illustrations are mediocre the plot is kinda cute. A young girl can't stop eating pink cupcakes until she has had so many that they turn her pink. The doctor's diagnosis is Pinkititus and her only cure is to eat green vegetables. After eating one more pink cupcake and turning red, she takes it upon herself to eat as much green food as she can.

Animal: Pig
Concept: Color
What a delightful read-aloud! With the help of a little piggy and the tune to "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly," Norman presents an assortment of primary colors as the piggy races through the fair adding color on his body as he goes. Every other page, the pig is in the same spot so it's fun to watch the colors add to him. More so, the written words are reflective of their colors (e.g. green is colored green, yellow is colored yellow) connecting print with spoken word.

Getting bored of her gadgets, a little girl seeks entertainment from her family members. They are all on their own devices, cast in a black and white drab, and are quick to shoo her away until she sees a leaf blowing through the door. With her curiosity, the little girl steps outside to find a world full of color, interesting objects, and--best of all--her imagination.

Deep-thinker: Appreciating the little things
Another truly unique picture book emerges from across the seas, this time from Switzerland. A blend of wordless pictures with minimal text, the message is very strong that we should appreciate the little things. The words could accompany any set of pictures. However, Zullo pairs this message with an unlikely series of events that give this appreciation of small things a little more thought.
