DUCK TO THE RESCUE by John Himmelman
Publishers Weekly, December 9, 2013
“Certain to have kids laughing.”
FSG BYR HIGHLIGHTS
BIG SNOW by Jonathan Bean
Associated Press, December 10, 2013: Featured in “For Gifters”
“Tells the story of an antsy young boy who awaits a big snowstorm.”
The New York Times, December 22, 2013: SCAN ATTACHED
“We are suddenly and safely returned to the consoling home life – portrayed in happy and straightforward watercolor pictures – that has become the signature of Bean’s work. It’s a nifty trick: The brief and unexpected peril of the dream makes the long-anticipated moment when the family bundles up and goes out to enjoy the storm all the cozier.”
DUSK by Uri Shulevitz
“Streets are lit with garlands of snowflake decorations, brass bands glitter in front of enormous illuminated Christmas trees, and snowy, toy-filled wonderlands fill the shop windows.”
SNOW by Uri Shulevitz
Associated Press, December 10, 2013: Featured in “For Gifters”
“May be just the thing to cheer up a modern-day ‘grandfather with beard.’”
ROARING BROOK PRESS HIGHLIGHTS
