I was in search of a book about Noah when I came across this lovely book by Barbara Reid. 

I recognized her Plasticine illustrations immediately.

My Granddaughters and I thoroughly enjoy reading this book and examining the pictures over and over again. 

Barbara Reid's art is full of interesting details and vibrant colors. She retells this familiar tale in whimsical rhyme.

******************************

As many of you know, Noah and his family build this humongous boat. Mrs. Noah loads up her arms with seeds of every flower, tree and weed.




The sons and their wives packed in the food. Then all the animals board the arc, TWO BY TWO .



It rained for forty days and forty nights. "Space within was so restricted, Even the boas felt constricted."




The rain stopped and the water recedes. 

The arc hits dry land and Noah opens the door and lowered the planks. "With hoot and squawk and squeak and bark, The animals tumbled off the ark."

A wonderful story back dropped with beautiful renditions. We have read and reread this story many times and I am sure we will enjoy it many more times.

Have you had the chance to read this book? Or perhaps a different version of this story?

I have to admit that the pictures attracted me to this book. 

The award winning plastercine illustrations are beautiful, clean and vibrant.

My granddaughters also love, love the illustrations. A large part about reading this book is discussing the images. Each page is a collage of images that define the geographical area that Grandma is visiting. 

My Granddaughters noticed right away that the little girl was getting older and at the end she was all grown up.

My grandma went a-travelling, she said: "what would you have me bring?" 

"Not much," said I, "just a piece of sky, and a hundred songs I can sing..."

And Grandma manages to do just that, delivering into a young girl's hands a pack of unusual souvenirs, from "billabong goo" to a sitar's zing. But more important, she brings the enduring gifts of enthusiasm, love and respect for a hundred different places and peoples the world over.

The loving relationship between grandma and granddaughter as each ages is tenderly captured in hugs, smiles and subtle physical changes. ...

My Perfect Pony

MY PERFECT PONY

Author: Gaby Goldsack

Illustrator: Michelle White

Publisher: Parragon Book Service Ltd
Pages: 24
Ages: 4 - 8

******************************

My four year old granddaughters are fascinated with horses. Two of their favourite movies are Spirit and Black Beauty. I don't know how many toy horses they have. So when Faith saw this book she snatched it up and asked if we could take it home.

This story is about a pony named Pepper and his owner Lucy. 

Pepper was not the "most handsome, the smartest, or even the fastest pony, but Pepper did not mind" because "he knew he was the luckiest pony on the farm because Lucy - the sweetest, kindest, most loving little girl that a pony could ever wish to meet - owned him."

The other children laughed at Pepper but Lucy told Pepper that the children were jealous because he was the best Pony on the whole farm.




When Lucy tells Pepper that they are going to enter a horse show. Pepper feels bad. He is afraid to let Lucy down because he thinks all the other ponies are better than him.

Pepper sneaks out in the middle of the night to practice. The other ponies wake and laugh at him.

That night Pepper dreams about the beautiful Great White Horse wearing a silver charm. 

The Horse shows the pony images of Pepper and Lucy together and says, "it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow. You are brave, loyal, and kind. You are the perfect pony for Lucy. Just be yourself tomorrow and everything will be all right!"




Lucy and Pepper win a few ribbons. At the end of the show, Pepper wins the blue ribbon and Lucy receives the Lucky Charm Award for best pony in the show. 

Pepper is surprised. Lucy's necklace looked exactly like the won the Great White Horse wore!

******************************

This is a beautiful story about a little girl who loves her pony so much that she doesn't see any flaws in him. 

And about a pony who learns to accept himself as he is and in doing so accomplishes things he never thought possible.I find the illustrations simple, cute and vibrant.

Please feel free to leave your comments. I would love to hear from you.

MORTIMER

MORTIMER

Written by Robert Munsch & Illustrated by Michael Martchenko

Publisher: Annick Press

• Paperback: 32 pages

• Ages: 3 and up

My Granddaughters love this story so much that I am asked to read this story over and over - sometimes twice on one night.

We loved Murmel, Murmel Murmel by Robert Munsch so much that we decided to read more of his books starting with this one.

The cover makes me laugh because I imagine my Granddaughter's face as she sings-shouts with Mortimer. She is too cute for words.

In my opinion this story starts off a little strange. Mortimer's mother opened the door to his room and throws him into bed and says, "MORTIMER BE QUIET." 

How rude! Mortimer looks so small in his big fluffed up bed. What kind of mother is she?

But as soon as the mother gets downstairs, Mortimer (and my Granddaughter) sing at the top of their lungs,

Clang, clang, rattle-bing-bang

Gonna make my noise all day.

Clang, clang, rattle-bing-bang

Gonna make my noise all day.

Just look at Mortimer on the book cover singing his heart out just as my little angels sing.

Well Mortimer makes so much noise that his father goes into Mortimer's room and yells, "MORTIMER BE QUIET." 

Mortimer is compliant and shakes his head, yes. But as soon as father gets downstairs Mortimer sings his song again. And once again my little Hunny Bunny sings too.

Mortimer's seventeen brothers and sisters tell Mortimer to be quiet.  Then the police do the same. But every time he is left alone in his room, Mortimer sings his song at the top of his lungs.

No one knew what to do about Mortimer. Everyone starts to fight with each other. It's their turn to make a lot of noise. 

In the meantime, Upstairs, Mortimer got so tired waiting for someone to come up that he fell asleep.

FUNNY FARM

Written and Illustrated by Mark Teague

Scholastic Inc.ISBN 978-0-439-91499-4 HC

32 Pages

Ages 4-8

While researching other books by Mark Teague, I came across this one and thought I would share it with you. It looks pretty funny to me and I am sure my granddaughters would giggle at the pictures. There is nothing more endearing and infectious than hearing a small child giggle.

This is the description for the book. Join Edward as he pitches in with the chores on his first visit to Hawthorne Farm – where the pigs play practical jokes, the sheep brush their teeth before heading out to graze, and the mice churn their own butter. 

It is a day that Edward will never forget – a funny day on a funny farm.

MURMEL MURMEL MURMEL Written by Robert Munsch

MURMEL MURMEL MURMEL Written by Robert Munsch & Illustrated by Michael Martchenko


Publisher: Annick Press Ltd.
Pages: 32
Ages: 2 and up

This is another one of those books that I do not remember where it came from. I do know that it has been here for a long time. I wonder if my daughters remember?

This story begins when Robin goes out to her backyard and finds a huge hole in her sandbox. She yells down the hole, " ANYBODY DOWN THERE?" Something calls back to her, "Murmel, Murmel, Murmel." She pulls out an adorable baby.

Robin quickly decides to find someone to take care of the baby because she is only five years old.

Off Robin goes on her quest to find someone to take care of this  little baby. Unfortunately she has trouble as she comes across one unlikely candidate after the other. She meets a women who is being chased by seventeen diaper sales men, an old woman with seventeen cats, a business woman surrounded by seventeen secretaries, nine messengers and a pizza delivery man.

Exasperated Robin sits down on the curb. She doesn't know what to do. She can't find the right person to take care of the baby. 

Then a truck driver walks up to Robin and looks at the baby. She asks him if needs a baby. The baby says, "Murmel, Murmel, Murmel." The truck driver decides he does need the baby and he walks off down the street with the baby in his arms.

Robin yells out to the truck driver - you forgot your truck. He replies that he already has seventeen trucks. "What I need is a baby . . . "

My granddaughters think the baby is so cute. They think the different characters in the story are silly and they are glad Robin finds a home for the baby. They also think Robin looks silly driving the great big truck.

TEENY WITCH GOES TO THE LIBRARY

• TEENY WITCH GOES TO THE LIBRARY

• 
  

• (Teeny Witch Series) \Written by Liz Mathews & Illustrated by Carolyn Loh

Publisher: Troll Communications (January 1991)

• Pages: 45
• Ages:3-6

I can't remember exactly how old my granddaughters were when I first started reading to them but it is a bedtime ritual that can never be skipped. We don't just read at bedtime but it is our favorite way to end the day.

I love the fact that they love to sit and look at their books to have some quiet time or pretend to read to one another. 

When I take them out, they run to the book section grabbing books and throwing them in the kart. Before we leave the store, we go over to the books and narrow it down to five or less. 

My three year old Granddaughter picked this book out all by herself. She saw the picture of Teeny Witch on the cover, reminding me that she was a witch for Halloween and threw it in the kart. 

This story begins with Teeny Witch looking out the window at the rain. She is bored. What child hasn't been bored on a rainy day? 

Teeny has done everything there is to do in her house so her Aunt Icky suggests a trip to the Library.

Teeny Witch finds out there is so much more to do at the library than books and reading. She visits the Library's pet exhibit, the puppet show and of course she finds a couple of good books to read. 

My granddaughters relate this story. They have made many trips to the library with their Aunt and Great Grandma for preschooler activities. They make crafts, listen at story time, sing and participate in other activities.

When Teeny Witch got home, she found her Aunt Vicky and Aunt Ticky on the porch. You gotta get a kick out of the Aunts' names! They wanted to know where she had been on the awful rainy day. 

Teeny Witch smiled. "I saw a pet exhibit," said Teeny. "I saw a puppet show. I picked out three books all by myself. I rode on a horse named Lucky. Lucky and I even jumped over a fence."

Aunt Vicky and Aunt Ticky were more puzzled. They thought she just went to the Library.

"I did," laughed Teeny Witch. And she went into inside to read her new library book.

Author & Illustrrator Jonathon London

JONATHON LONDON BIOGRAPHY

"My ideas for stories come from experience I've had, or from dreams or leap right out of my head - from my ever-active imagination," explains Jonathan London, who burst on the children's book scene in 1992 with the publication of three picture books. 

"There are worlds of possibility within our own imaginations from which we can create stories that can make someone want to cry or laugh, play a saxophone or make a snowman. This act of writing, for me, is a part of my celebration of life, a way to give back a little for all that I have been given. Kind of thanks."

Jonathan London started writing poetry in his late teens. Although he received a Masters Degree in Social Sciences and never formally studied literature or creative writing, he began to consider himself a "writer" about the time he graduated from college. After college he became a dancer in a modern dance company and worked at numerous low-paying jobs as a laborer or counselor.

However, during this twenty-year period, London continued to write. He wrote poems and short stories for adults, earning next to nothing despite being published in many literary magazines. "It wasn't until I had kids of my own that I became a writer for children," he explains. "It all started with telling them stories when they were very young. I wrote down one of these stories, and it became The Owl Who Became the Moon, my first picture book sale (though it was my fourth to appear in print). Now I am finally making a living as a writer. A dream come true!"
