Lines That Wiggle
|
Ricehead's Revenge!
| |
|
Follow the glittery line that runs through this picture book and turns itself into all kinds of things; the waves above an octopus, the veins in a leaf, the wrappings curling around a mummy, and the trapping threads of a spiderweb. Candice Whitman's catchy rhyming text is brought to life by a host of creepy critters from first-time illustrator Steve Wilson. [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] |
The World of Noodoll: Ricehead's Revenge! introduces a world that's visually exciting, boundlessly creative, and fantastically fun. Part picture book, part graphic novel, with plenty of characters to search for and extra details to explore, this is a book young readers will return to again and again.

My Forever Dress
|
Greetings from Kiwi and Pear
| |
A story about sewing and sharing, recycling and remembering, this book follows a special party dress a grandmother makes for her granddaughter. When her granddaughter grows taller, new fabric is added. The next year, the dress is ingeniously turned into a sleeveless jumper. Finally, when the little girl turns ten and is ready for a new outfit, she decides to give the dress to her little cousin so it can be her forever dress. Liz Murphy's collage artwork is the perfect medium for this inventive story of sewing and altering, mixing and matching, and the rituals that connect generations. [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] |
