I'm personally not that into these illustrated David Almond stories. I'd rather just have the words. I liked this one better than Slog's dad though. And if these illustrated stories get more kids into David Almond's work then that's great.
A virtual travel guide to the capital of the United Kingdom. Filled with trivia about the major destinations in London, this would be a great book for little arm-chair travelers, or a perfect keepsake for an actual journey.
I discover the amazing Nicola Davies for the first time this year when I read her Cybils nominee Dolphin Baby. Davies wows me with her writing. Dolphin Baby is wonderful.Then what do I learn? Not one Nicola Davies title is up for the Cybils nonfiction picture book award but two! How can they do this...
Appealing and informative.
Facts about ducks are interspersed throughout the text about ducks living on a river that flows through a town. Pleasant illustrations, an index, and additional facts about ducks of the world round out the book.
Almost as much fun as actuallu being there.
