"Tickle Time!" is the twelfth in Boynton's astoundingly successful "Boynton on Board" series. Based on the wildly popular song from Boynton's wildly popular "Rhinoceros Tap" CD, "Tickle Time!" is pure irrepressible Boynton, lively in tempo, nimble in rhyme, and filled with irresistible fuzzy cats that cavort from page to page. Plus a few birds, who aren't the cavorting type. Here's a book to turn to again and again, because it's guaranteed to elicit giggles: If you're feeling blue and you don't know what to do there is nothing like a "Tickle Time" to make you feel like new. Whether you tickle high or tickle low, tickle fast or tickle slow, it's the gitchy-gitchy-goo that makes everything worthwhile.
Duncan’s crayons are on strike. One morning he opens his desk looking for them and, in their place, finds a pack of letters detailing their grievances, one crayon at a time. Red is tired. Beige is bored. Black is misunderstood. Peach is naked! The conceit is an enticing one, and although the crayons’ complaints are not entirely unique (a preponderance centers around some variation of overuse), the artist’s indelible characterization contributes significant charm. Indeed, Jeffers’ ability to communicate emotion in simple gestures, even on a skinny cylinder of wax, elevates crayon drawing to remarkable heights. First-class bookmaking, with clean design, ample trim size, and substantial paper stock, adds to the quality feel. A final spread sees all things right, as Duncan fills a page with bright, delightful imagery, addressing each of the crayons’ issues and forcing them into colorful cooperation. Kids who already attribute feelings to their playthings will never look at crayons the same way ag

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishingnew editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take thevery first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim ofthese editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter'sintentions while benefiting from modern printing and designtechniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes arereproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now beenpossible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over theyears. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six ofPotter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 tomake space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been usedbefore. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children'scharacters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, JemimaPuddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both childrenand adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter'sillustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read.
