Review Tandem Library  / Corduroy (Spanish Language Edition) Edition: Rebound Spanish
Publication date: 1999-10
Price: $16.45

Review Corduroy (Spanish Language Edition) / Tandem Library:

"A winning, completely childlike picture book in which a stuffed bear waiting hopefully in a toy department finds a home with a little black girl. Endearing, brightly colored pictures. "-Booklist. Full-color illustrations. Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store at night? The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator that he thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy, and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. [+]
Corduroy decides that this must be home and that Lisa must be his friend. Youngsters will never get tired of this toy-comes-alive tale with a happy ending, so you may also want to seek out Dan Freeman's next creation, A Pocket for Corduroy. (Ages 3 to 8).

Review Misty of Chincoteague Limited Edition / Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing:

1997 marks the 50th anniversary of Misty of Chincoteague, the Newbery Honor-winning book that launched Marguerite Henry's career. Now one of America's most revered children's authors, Ms. Henry is still writing. She has gathered an enormous following, and has received innumerable awards, including another Newbery Honor in 1954 for Justin Morgan Had a Horse, and the Newbery Medal in 1948 for King of the Wind. Ms. Henry's books appeal not only to horse-lovers, but to all children. We honor the Golden Anniversary of Ms. Henry's breakthrough novel with this beautiful, cloth-bound, slip-cased edition, limited to 250 copies, and signed by the author. Sure to delight the many collectors of Ms. Henry's work, this is a fitting tribute to one of our best-loved authors. [+]
On an island off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her-that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can't live without her. The frenzied roundup that follows on the next "Pony Penning Day" does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal colt Misty is another story altogether. Marguerite Henry's Newbery Honor Book has captivated generations of boys and girls both with its thrilling descriptions of true incidents from the tiny island of Chincoteague, and its realistic yet wonderfully magical atmosphere. This story of an animal brought into captivity poignantly reveals the powerful opposing forces of humans and nature. Wesley Dennis's pen-and-ink ponies are masterfully depicted with rippling muscles, shaggy coats, and free spirits. (Ages 9 to 12) -Emilie Coulter.

Review The Pumpkin Fair Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette) / Sandpiper:

A bouncy rhyme and delightful artwork bring this pumpkin fair to life. The young narrator is ecstatic to be at the local pumpkin fair, where pumpkins of every size are on display - and that's not all! There's pumpkin bowling, a pumpkin pull, and every sort of food you can imagine made from the orange stuff, from ice cream to stew. Christelow's good-natured watercolor-and-ink illustrations are filled with things to look at and laugh about, including a marching band in pumpkin suits. Keep this book around to read for autumn story hours - but you might want a piece of pumpkin pie when you're done. - ALA Booklist"Christelow's jubilant illustrations in watercolor and pen and ink add to the general atmosphere of gaiety - everywhere readers look, families are interacting happily and having fun. [+]
Halloween is never mentioned, so the book could be used to celebrate the harvest season in general. Of course, it will also serve as a good non-scary Halloween story. " - School Library Jo.

This is a facsimile of the limited edition published by Arion Press, which "produces some of the most beautiful limited-edition books in the world," according to the New York Times. To illustrate the first edition of her only children's book in 1939, Gertrude Stein selected Clement Hurd from a field of competitors who submitted their work to her. For the Arion edition, proofs from linoleum and wood blocks cut for the second edition were modified for photo-engraving. Edith Thacher Hurd, wife of the well-known illustrator and herself a noted children's book author, wrote the afterword, an informative memoir that details the history and creation of the original publication and includes correspondence between Stein and Hurd.
