review 1: This was really cute and would be a good pick for kids who are fairly high level readers, but don't have the attention span for a full-fledged middle-grade novel yet. The vocabulary is significantly more difficult than you'd see in a transitional chapter book, but there are a lo...

review 1: A very lovely book. The illustrations (acrylic on Bristol board) are simple, with vivid colors and interesting texture. My favorite aspect of the illustrations were the "Actual Size" depictions of a shoe and clove on the flyleaf. I must admit, I held the book down next to my fo...
