Joseph
Had a Little Overcoat (Caldecott Medal Book)
Hardcover from Viking Juvenile
ISBN: 0670878553
Joseph had a little overcoat, but it was full of holes--just like this
book! When Joseph's coat got too old and shabby, he made it into a jacket.
But what did he make it into after that? And after that?
As children turn the pages of this book, they can use the die-cut holes
to guess what Joseph will be making next from his amazing overcoat--while
they laugh at the bold, cheerful artwork and learn that you can always
make something, even out of nothing.
When Joseph's favorite overcoat gets old and worn, he makes a jacket
out of it. When the jacket is more patches than jacket, Joseph turns it
into a vest. When the vest's number is up, Joseph makes a scarf. This thrifty
industry continues until there's nothing left of the original garment.
But clever Joseph manages to make something out of nothing! (And that's
the foreshadowed moral of the story.)
In today's throwaway world, Joseph's old-fashioned frugality is a welcome
change. Based on a Yiddish song from Simms Taback's youth (lyrics and music
reproduced on the last page), the book is filled with rhythms and arresting
colors that will delight every reader. As more and more holes appear in
Joseph's coat, die-cut holes appear on the pages, hinting at each next
manifestation. The illustrations are striking, created with gouache, watercolor,
collage, pencil, and ink. Every inch of space is crammed with fanciful,
funny details, such as the headline on a discarded newspaper: "Fiddler
on Roof Falls off Roof." Taback, esteemed creator of the Caldecott Honor-winning
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and the classic Too
Much Noise, has produced a picture book that is as well turned out
as its dapper hero. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter |

The
Day the Babies Crawled Away
by Peggy Rathmann
Hardcover from Putnam Juvenile
ISBN: 039923196X
What a lovely day at the fair. Children lining up for pony rides .
. . moms and dads in a pie-eating contest . . . babies chasing butterflies
. . . babies heading for the trees . . . I SAY! Where are those babies
GOING? Only a small boy sees them leaving and follows as the babies chase
butterflies in trees, frogs in a bog, even bats in a cave, ignoring pleas
to come back. But not to worry, our hero saves the day, making sure that
all the babies get home safely from their appealing adventures.
Caldecott Medal winner Peggy Rathmann has created a highly original
story told in a lilting text and a bold new style with classic black silhouettes
against stunning skies of many colors that change and glow as afternoon
turns into evening. |

A
Caldecott Celebration: Seven Artists and their Paths to the Caldecott Medal
by Leonard S. Marcus
Hardcover from Walker Childrens
Media Published: 2008-02-05
ISBN: 0802797032
To celebrate the seventieth
anniversary of the Caldecott Medal and another decade of award-winning
picture books, noted children's book historian Leonard S. Marcus has updated
this absorbing and informative picture of the world's most prestigious
illustration award and seven of its acclaimed winners: Robert McCloskey,
Marcia Brown, Maurice Sendak, William Steig, Chris Van Allsburg, David
Wiesner, and now Mordicai Gerstein.
Along with a newly added
preface and an introduction that provides a historical perspective on the
origins of the award, Marcus takes us into the studios and behind the drawing
boards of these seven noteworthy artists, each representing a decade of
the award's history. Through personal anecdotes and glimpses of their prize-winning
books and works in progress--from doodles to sketches to dummies to finished
art--readers will find out how their favorite picture books were imagined
and created. The artists reveal their inspirations, work processes, and
private reactions to receiving this unparalleled honor.
A Caldecott Celebration
illuminates the creative process while applauding the talents of the creators
themselves. Complete with an up-to-date list of winners, this essential
book belongs on the bookshelf of every teacher, parent, child, or book
collector who has ever been dazzled by the art of children's book illustration
or has aspired to create original work of his or her own. |

The
Three Pigs
by David Wiesner
Hardcover from Clarion Books
ISBN: 0618007016
This picture book begins placidly
(and familiarly) enough, with three pigs collecting materials and going
off to build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks. But the wolf's huffing
and puffing blows the first pig right out of the story . . . and into the
realm of pure imagination. The transition signals the start of a freewheeling
adventure with characteristic David Wiesner effects cinematic flow, astonishing
shifts of perspective, and sly humor, as well as episodes of flight.
Satisfying both as a story and as an exploration of the nature of story,
The Three Pigs takes visual narrative to a new level. Dialogue balloons,
text excerpts, and a wide variety of illustration styles guide the reader
through a dazzling fantasy universe to the surprising and happy ending.
Fans of Tuesday's frogs and Sector 7's clouds will be captivated by old
friends the Three Pigs of nursery fame and their companions in a new guise.Once
upon a time three pigs built three houses, out of straw, sticks, and bricks.
Along came a wolf, who huffed and puffed... So, you think you know the
rest? Think again. With David Wiesner at the helm, it's never safe to assume
too much. When the wolf approaches the first house, for example, and blows
it in, he somehow manages to blow the pig right out of the story frame.
The text continues on schedule--"...and ate the pig up"--but the perplexed
expression on the wolf's face as he looks in vain for his ham dinner is
priceless. One by one, the pigs exit the fairy tale's border and set off
on an adventure of their own. Folding a page of their own story into a
paper airplane, the pigs fly off to visit other storybooks, rescuing about-to-be-slain
dragons and luring the cat and the fiddle out of their nursery rhyme.
Wiesner, Caldecott Medal recipient for Tuesday, and Caldecott
Honor winner for both Sector 7 and Free Fall, prefers not
to wait around until pigs fly. He gives them wings (or paper airplanes)
and sets them on their way! In his latest flight of fancy, Wiesner uses
shifting illustration styles and fonts to startle complacent readers into
an imaginary world even as they ponder the conventional structure of story.
His trademark crafty humor and skewed perspectives will tickle readers
pink (even the nonporcine variety)! (Ages 4 and older) --Emilie Coulter |

Once
a Mouse...
by Marcia Brown
Paperback from Aladdin
ISBN: 0689713436
A hermit knows the magic to change a small mouse into a cat, a dog,
and a majestic tiger -- and Marcia Brown's magical woodcuts bring this
Indian fable to life with the mastery that won her her second Caldecott
Medal. |

Officer
Buckle & Gloria (Caldecott Medal Book)
by Peggy Rathmann
Hardcover from Putnam Juvenile
ISBN: 0399226168
Officer Buckle puts everyone to sleep with his painfully dull if informative
lectures on safety, until he takes on a new partner, Gloria, Napville's
new police dog, who knows just how to liven up Officer Buckle's safety
speeches. BOMC.
Officer Buckle is a roly-poly bloke, dedicated to teaching schoolchildren
important safety tips, such as never put anything in your ear and never
stand on a swivel chair. The problem is, Officer Buckle's school assemblies
are dull, dull, dull, and the children of Napville just sleep, sleep, sleep.
That is, until Gloria the police dog is invited along! Stealthily pantomiming
each safety tip behind Officer Buckle's back, Gloria wins the children's
hearts. Meanwhile Officer Buckle assumes the cheers and laughter are all
for him. As the master comedian Jerry Lewis once explained, every slapstick
artist needs a straight man! Children will be highly entertained by the
laugh-out-loud, adorable illustrations in this 1996 Caldecott Medal winner,
while learning the value of teamwork and a pawful of nifty safety tips.

Snowflake
Bentley (Caldecott Medal Book)
by Jacqueline Briggs Martin
Hardcover from Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
ISBN: 0395861624
From the time he was a small
boy, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles. And he determined
that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny
crystal. Bentley's enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood
in his time, but his patience and determination revealed two important
truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is startlingly beautiful.
His story is gracefully told and brought to life in lovely woodcuts, giving
children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist's vision and
perseverance but a clear passion for the wonders of nature. "Of all the
forms of water the tiny six-pointed crystals of ice called snow are incomparably
the most beautiful and varied." -- Wilson Bentley. SNOWFLAKE BENTLEY won
the 1999 Caldecott Medal.Most children are captivated by snow, but how
many go on to make it their lifework? This beautiful biography, winner
of the 1999 Caldecott Medal, tells the true story of a Vermont farm boy
who was mesmerized by snowflakes. Wilson Bentley was fascinated by the
six-sided frozen phenomena, and once he acquired a microscope with a camera,
his childhood preoccupation took on a more scientific leaning. Bentley
spent his life taking countless exquisite photographs (many that are still
used in nature photography today), examining the tiny crystals and their
delicate, mathematical structures. Jacqueline Briggs Martin tells this
tale with simple, graceful prose that will engage children's imaginations.
Edifying and snowflake-scattered sidebars offer more information about
Bentley's methods and snowflake science. The artwork of Mary Azarian, whose
19th-century hand-press illustrations decorate the charming Barn Cat,
shines once again in Snowflake Bentley, with woodcuts that reveal
an appreciation for detail as well as for the man who loved snow. The lovely
illustrations and equally fresh text will inspire and comfort youngsters
(and grownups too) who wish they could capture snowflakes all year long.
(Ages 4 to 8) --Brangien Davis |

Black
and White (Caldecott Medal Book)
by David Macaulay
Hardcover from Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
ISBN: 0395521513
Four stories are told simultaneously,
with each double-page spread divided into quadrants. The stories do not
necessarily take place at the same moment in time, but are they really
one story?Black and White is an interesting title for a book that aims
to prove there's no such thing as black and white. But read on and you
will see that irony and playful deception are running themes in this multidimensional,
nonlinear picture story, which was awarded the 1991 Caldecott Medal. In
it, a normal-looking cow contains a robber literally pointing at one of
the plot's various possible outcomes, which remain tentative as long as
they are formulated by young readers. Seeing new angles and clues every
time they open the book, these readers will probably astound adult onlookers
with their excitement and ease at navigating the unknown in a literary
medium akin to interactive multimedia. |
