Double Take! A New Look at Opposites by Susan Hood and Jay Fleck

-

There are so many great things about DOUBLE TAKE! A New Look at Opposites by Susan Hood, illustrated by Jay Fleck. From the well crafted rhyming text to the charmingly retro illustrations to the concept itself, this picture book about perspective is a joy to read. Be sure to watch the book trailer at the end of this review!
DOUBLE TAKE! A New Look at Opposites begins like all other opposite books, left and right, yes or no, stop and go. But, "While most pairs are plain as DAY . . . and NIGHT, not every duo is so BLACK and WHITE.

DOUBLE TAKE! A New Look at Opposites goes on to show, with words (and their placement on the page) and illustrations, that it's all about perspective and how you look at the world around you. Hood wraps things up with these wonderful words:

Turn things around! Give them a twist. Find a new VIEW that you might have MISSED! A brand new direction, a closer inspection, might lead to reflection and maybe . . . perfection."

Under the name  Don't Call Me Blanket, you can get Jay Fleck's brilliant designs to wear on your back - or front!

Fox + Chick: The Sleepover and Other Stories by Sergio Ruzzier

Fox + Chick : The Sleepover and Other Stories  by Sergio Ruzzier Review Copy from Chronicle Books Friends. Opposites. Inhabitants of a pastel-hued, water color world that is vaguely surreal, Fox and Chick are back for a third installment of their inviting, if curious, easy-to-read stories. In "The Sleepover," "The Hammer," and "The Surprise," Chick's odd logic is once again upending Fox's life. Happily, Fox responds with patience and even wisdom at times. To these unforgettable characters and luminous illustrations, Ruzzier brings a sublime simplicity that makes this series perfect for emerging readers, adding books with character and intelligence to the often dull world of beginning reader books. If you aren't familiar with this delightful duo, definitely check out my reviews of the first two books (links below) where I put the greatness of Ruzzier's work into historical ( Frog & Toad ) context. Then check out ALL of Ruzzier's p

Be a Tree! by Maria Gianferrari illustrated by Felicita Sala

Be a Tree! by Maria Gianferrari illustrated by Felicita Sala Review Copy from Abrams Kids I picture-walked Be a Tree! three times before I actually read the words. Felicita Sala's illustrations for Maria Gianferrari's poetic text are mesmerizingly immersive and richly colorful within a palette of earth tones. Throughout the text, Gianferrari, who shares her inspiration for this book in the author's note ( Peter Wohleben's The Hidden Life of Trees ), gently maintains the human connection to trees and the connections (and communications) trees share with each other.  Be a Tree!  begins exuberantly, inviting the reader to "Be a tree! Stand tall. Stretch your branches to the sun. Let your roots curl, coil in the soil to ground you." From your spine/trunk to your skin/bark and your heart/pith, the words carry you inward and then zoom outward and up to the canopy and ultimately, the forest. "You are one of many trees," and our roots "twine with fung

Reading Levels: A Quick Guide to Determining if a Book Is Right for Your Reader

While I wrote an article titled Reading Levels: How I Assign Reading Levels to Books, How the Publishers Do It and How You Can Help Your Reader Find the Right Book at the Right Time that discusses how reading levels are determined by professionals and amateurs like myself, there is more on this subject to discuss. Determining the reading level of a book from the children's section is never easy, mostly because there are several different standardized methods of determining reading levels. Add to this the fact that knowing their children's reading level is most often the only tool a parent is armed with when exploring the bookstore, library, website, etc, and the job becomes even more difficult. While I think that knowing a child's reading level is a very valuable tool if your child is reading below grade level, I think that it is a secondary consideration when finding books for children reading above, especially well above, grade level because, in most cases, content app
