Perfect Reading for the Winter Season
This high quality picture book won an American Library Association Award and the Caldecott Medal. The detailed illustrations are hand-colored wood cuts that perfectly compliment this moving and beautiful biography about Wilson Bentley. Appropriate for children ages four through nine, this is the story of a Vermont farm boy who was mesmerized by snowflakes. The lyrical prose is enhanced by side bar facts about the life of Wilson Bentley and the anatomy of snowflakes. Driven to succeed at photographing snowflakes, this story also illustrates a life of simpler times, where family and nature play a big role in Wilson Bentley’s success. He happily gives his greatest gifts, snowflake photographs, to family and friends. Although he never becomes rich, he is recognized for his expertise as the “Snowflake Man” throughout the world. On the last page, there is a picture of Bentley, three of his snowflake photographs, and a quote indicating his love for his work. It is not a multicultural book; it is a book about pursuing your dreams and life-long work. There are a lot of meteorological facts in this book, so it would easily be incorporated into a weather unit. Students would also enjoy visiting the online Snowflake Bentley Museum website at http://www.snowflakebentley.com/. There is a display of his amazing photographs online. Activities to accompany this book are almost limitless! Creating woodcuts, making snowflakes, photographing nature and posting it to a website are just a few of the fun things you can do.

Beautiful Story with Stunning Illustrations
This high quality picture book has exquisitely vibrant illustrations. The right-hand page of every scene is a gatefold, making each picture a triple-page horizontal spread. The illustrator, Robert Sabuda, actually created the pictures using painted tissue paper laid over textured, ivory-colored handmade Japanese paper. It is a beautiful book and it is easy to see why it won the SCBWI Golden Kite Awards for picture book text and for illustrations. It also was an ALA Notable Book, a Booklist starred review, NCSS/CBC Notable Children’s Book, a Parents Choice Honor Book, and a Storytelling World Honor Book. It is suitable for grades one through five. Younger children would also enjoy the story, but it would be easy for them to tear the pages. The multicultural tale is set long ago in China, where a humble artist, Mi Fei, lives painting glorious scenes of the past. He is a content and happy man, surrounded by the people he loves. His peaceful life of painting is interrupted when Sui Jen, a great dragon of Lung Mountain is awakened. The dragon is destroying villages everywhere. The villagers decide that Mi Fei is the only one wise and brave enough to confront Sui Jen. Mi Fei bravely ascends the mountain and meets with the great dragon who tells him he must successfully perform three tasks. Students will have fun predicting how Mi Fei can complete the dragon’s requests. Instead of the classic ending to dragon stories, Mi Fei uses love instead of a sword to rid the village of Sui Jen. This story could be used in the curriculum when studying other cultures and customs. It could also be used to show that there are other ways beside violence to conquer evil. Students could make an origami dragon out of a dollar bill or create a paper lantern out of a lunch bag, sand, and a candle.

An Amazing Way to Learn the Alphabet
In 1987, Animalia was named an Honor Book in the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Awards. In 1987 it also won the Young Australians' Best Book Award (YABBA) Picture Book and was Secondary Winner of the Kids Own Australian Literature Awards (KOALA) in 1988. The illustrations are brilliant, the phrases lyrical, making this alphabet book a fantastic combination of art and prose. Each letter of the alphabet is given a two-page spread with exquisite drawings of objects beginning with the featured letter. For example, the letter L page features two beautiful lions reading books in the library. Even the library book titles begin with L. Readers will also spot the following objects: lamp, lettuce, leprechaun, lizard, llama, lamb, leopard, locomotive, lobster, ladder, lollipop, and many more! Each letter is accompanied by a lyrical phrase such as, “Lazy Lions Lounging in the Local Library.” This is not your typical alphabet book. Although the book is listed as appropriate for children ages four through eight, I believe older students would enjoy this book as well. The pictures and vocabulary are interesting enough to hold their attention. There is even a poem at the beginning of the book, encouraging readers to look for the illustrated version of the author on each page. It takes a sharp eye to find him, but you absorb that many more details in the search. This book is multicultural in the sense that it introduces students to many objects from different areas of the world that could be further explored. Students can each create their own alphabet page on large pieces of paper and illustrate it using colored pencils, watercolors, and objects cut out of magazines. Students can create a phrase beginning with their assigned letter. Each student could do one page and then the teacher could combine the pages for a class book. Also, I highly recommend this book for home use between parents and their children, it certainly is interesting enough to keep both engaged for many readings.
