review 1: Red Ted and the Lost Things / Michael Rosen / 2009Genre: fictionFormat: picture bookPlot Summary: When a teddy bear is accidentally left on the seat of a train, he uses his ingenuity--and some new friends--to search for the little girl who lost him.Considerations: noneReview Citation:School Library Journal, vol 55, issue 11"His use of panels, which effectively further the action, vary from one to six per page and provide a quiet but effective pace...The plucky and determined RedTed deserves a place among the many lost-toys books on library shelves."Selection Source: School Library JournalRecommended age: 3-6
review 2: Magical. Not everyone will fall under its spell, but I did. The combination of dialogue in the pictures and narrative between them works marvel... moreously, by these creators. For example don't miss the wordless spread that's all white except for one small picture that shows the three little ones in abject despair, their backs to us.I love that Red Ted is brave, despite one bout of tears, and that Crocodile is inspired to be brave by Red Ted, and that the cat is courteous, but becomes helpful when she scents a promise of cheese. I love the quest. I love that the girl, Stevie, can still 'hear' the small characters' voices, even though she is too old to believe fully in magic. I love that the cat has her own song:"I'm a cat, and I do as I please. I'm a cat, and I love cheese."And I love how all this is so concisely done that the book can (and should) be shared over and over again. less
