One of Julia Donaldson's classic picture book stories about two monkeys who are as different as night and day. Night Monkey and Day Monkey don't think they have much in common. But when they each spend time in the other's opposite worlds, they learn a lot. And they also learn to be the best of friends. One of the finest rhyming picture book stories from Julia Donaldson, the author behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and What The Ladybird Heard. Full of fun and food for thought, Night Monkey, Day Monkey is beautifully drawn by Lucy Richards, one of the most talented illustrators drawing today.
A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING FROM THE 2008 CALDECOTT HONORWINNER ONE BOY is a perfect example of why Kirkus Reviews calls Laura Vaccaro Seeger the “emerging master of the conceptbook”—a die-cut book exploring counting and words-withinwords, and the power of art and imagination. At the start, readerssee a sad boy surrounded by empty, lonely chairs. At his feet is abag with paint brushes peeking out. The text reads “ONE boy”which—with a turn of the page and a look through a cleverly cuthole—turns into “all alONE.” Page after page, the book becomespopulated with seals, apes, and monkeys, all examples ofwords-within-words. Finally, we come back to “ONE boy” who is “alldONE,” and we discover where all the characters came from.
