From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1--Despite a good-natured warning from an adult in a beach chair, "If you keep digging like that...you'll go right through to Australia," Nicholas keeps on shoveling. Suddenly, kangaroos, dingos, koalas, camels, wombats, kookaburras, platypuses, cockatoos, and wallabies emerge from the hole and proceed to create a chaotic beach scene. The text is not that inventive; yet, largely because of Clement's energetic drawings and playful page layouts, the book succeeds as a summer romp. Young listeners, particularly those who have spent time at the beach, may well regret that "in the last orange light of the sun, all the animals returned to the hole." The book includes an appendix for children needing a brief introduction to the featured Australian animals.Kathleen Whalin, Greenwich Country Day School,... |

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8–In her foreword, Lottridge states that she wanted to capture "the flavor of stories told and valued and passed on over a very long time." And she has achieved a sweet freshness in these retellings of 32 Bible tales. Her selections are faithful (e.g., there are two versions of the creation of humans, as in Genesis), but not exhaustive. Young readers won't encounter Noah's drunkenness or Lot's offer of his virgin daughters to the men of Sodom. God's curse after the Fall doesn't mention the sorrow of childbirth. Cain kills Abel, Jacob tricks his father and brother, but Bathsheba and Absalom are absent. Moses, Miriam, Ruth, David, Elijah (but no resurrection story), Jonah, Daniel, and Esther are among the familiar figures, both weak and strong, deftly passing in review. The retelling ends... |

Book Description
This gorgeous boxed set comprises two of Celia Barker Lottridge’s acclaimed Bible books: Stories from the Life of Jesus and Stories from Adam and Eve to Ezekiel. The first volume is a powerful retelling of events in Jesus’ life and the stories he told, focusing not on interpretation but on the stories themselves, as they might have been told in Jesus’ own time. The gospel accounts of the life of Jesus are a cornerstone of Western culture as well as being important religious texts, and Lottridge’s spare and eloquent versions introduce them to young readers as a vital part of their cultural heritage. Linda Wolfsgruber’s stunning illustrations perfectly complement the text. In the second book, Lottridge brings her storytelling gifts to the Jewish Bible. These tales are essential... |

From Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Signor Poochini lives with his master in a large city. By day, he is Jack, an ordinary dog, but by night, he is the Great Poochini-the famous canine opera star. But trouble occurs on the evening of the premiere of Dog Giovanni. Poochini, who has the starring role, is locked inside his house when his master leaves for the night. When a cat burglar breaks in, the dog frightens him away, jumps out the window, and makes it onstage just in time. While it is doubtful that a picture-book audience will get all of the wordplay that is at the core of the story ("Dog Perignon," "Maestro Pawvarotti," "Muttropolitan Opera House"), they will be able to appreciate some of the puns. ("Dog-gone-it!" howls Poochini when he realizes he's trapped at home.) Likewise, phrases like the "nefarious prowler" and... |

From Publishers Weekly
The fabled fools of Chelm turn out in full force, demonstrating their fractured faculties for deduction in this folktale. Mendel, a peasant, yearns to travel and finally sets off toward the big city, Warsaw. Along the way, he stops for a nap. Worried that he'll forget which way he is heading, he removes his boots and points their toes in the direction he needs to go. While he sleeps, however, a shepherd stops to inspect the boots and turns them around. When Mendel resumes his journey and winds up in Chelm, he refuses to believe that he isn't in Warsaw and vows never to travel again: "If one place is exactly like every other place, one might as well just stay put," he concludes. Readers who appreciate skewed logic will find plenty of amusement in this rustic story, which uses a few colloquialisms for a Yiddish... |
