Illustration Celebration

I am a sucker for beautifully and creatively illustrated children's books. In fact, I am consistently guilty of judging a books by their covers and often will not take a second look if the cover is not well designed. That being said, I believe a good story is just as important and here are a few new books that, I believe, succeed on both fronts.


Bunny Days
By: Tao Nyeu

A story in three chapters featuring a friendly bear, neighbor goats, and a load of silly bunnies.

Here Comes The Garbage Barge!
By: Jonah Winter
Illustrated By: Red Nose Studio

A fun story with environmental themes, this book is brought to life by the amazing people at Red Nose Studios who used puppets to illustrate the book.

The Heart and the Bottle
By: Oliver Jeffers

A sweet and hopeful story about a girl who looses her grandfather and has to learn not to loose herself too. Oliver Jeffers is one of my absolute favorite author/illustrators!

A Sick Day for Amos McGee
By: Phillip Christian Stead

Amos visits his friends at the zoo every day. When one day he has to stay home sick, his animal friends miss him so much they decide it is their turn to do the visiting.

New Book Review: The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place

By: Maryrose Wood

Best for: 4th grade and up or as a read aloud for 2nd grade and up
Copyright: 2010
Call number: J Wood (also in J Holiday: Christmas)

Miss Penelope Lumley has recently graduated from the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females and has just landed her first job as a governess for three children at the Ashton Place. But these are no ordinary children. In fact Alexander, Beowulf, and Cassiopeia Incorrigible were found in the woods and believed to have been raised by wolves.

Not only must Miss Lumley teach the children English, how to wear clothing, and not to chase squirrels, she must also get them ready to be the guests of honor at Mrs. Ashton’s Christmas party with all the dancing and small talk that even some grown-ups have trouble with. It’s a good think Miss Lumley is a Swanburne Girl and able to handle it all!

The Incorrigible Children of the Ashton Place is what I imagine Jane Eyre would be had it been written by Lemony Snicket. I can’t wait for the second book in the series to see how the mystery unfolds!
