From School Library Journal PreSchool-K—Maddy asks her grandmother for a story: "Tell me about the day I was born. Tell me how I was a hurrying child. And how you hurried across three states to meet me." This simple picture book tells that tale, relating how a young couple headed for the hospital after making a rushed phone call to Grandma, who then embarked on her own longer journey by train, knitting all the way. She arrived just in time to meet her new granddaughter. Details of Maddy's birth are presented side by side with highlights of Grandma's trip. The "meanwhile" narrative structure adds interest, as do certain visual details (especially the doll that is old and well-loved in the preschooler's arms, but fresh out of the box, curly hair intact, before that child is born). Some of the figures look a bit stiff, but Chorao's watercolors are pretty and accessible, and the poetic text capitalizes on children's interest in their own history. While not an essential purchase, this book will be useful i
“Hope is the thing with feathers” starts the poem Frannie is reading in school. Frannie hasn’t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more “holy.” There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he’s not white. Who is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new light—her brother Sean’s deafness, her mother’s fear, the class bully’s anger, her best friend’s faith and her own desire for “the thing with feathers.” Jacqueline Woodson once again takes readers on a journey into a young girl’s heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface.

“I love this book!Every teacher in the universe should have a copy.”
Kindergarten-Grade 3. It would be difficult to imagine a less poetic theme than that of a bat accidentally trapped in the posh dining room of a summer resort. However, Dragonwagon has woven an evocative, lyrical prose poem in this tale of one frantic flying mammal and one quiet young girl who really cares what happens to it. While the excited, well-heeled patrons escape to the lobby, and the tuxedo-garbed staff run for brooms and other weapons, Melissa remains alone in the dining room. Unhurriedly, and with calm resolve, she lures the bat to an emergency door, where it flies into the starry night to freedom. The spare text combines internal rhyme and interesting word juxtapositions to create the appropriate mood. The contrast of uproar and quiet, agitation and calm combine to build a story from one brief incident. Schindler's beautiful illustrations, a combination of colored pencil and watercolor on pastel paper, become a harmonious complement to the text. The artist has juxtaposed the luminous views of a sum

There was once a woman who lived with her daughter in a beau-tiful cabbage garden… Ordered by her mother to drive away the rabbit who is eating up all their cabbages, our maiden obediently "shoo-shoos" the intruder. This is to no effect, and instead of contin- uing her efforts, she climbs upon the rabbit for a ride that ends in a most unexpected situation. Animal guests are gathered and a wedding under way, as the maiden weeps. Ordered by the Rabbit to do what she will not, our bride-to-be takes matters into her own hands. Caldecott Honor artist Holly Meade invokes the Brothers Grimm in a fairy tale she has made her distinctive own. Vibrant water- colors depict seemingly innocent events furthering the overall effect that this is no ordinary story.
