Book Reviews

April and Esme Tooth Fairies
By Bob Graham


I love Bob Graham's illustrations.  I love that the dad has long hair and the mom has tattoos.  I think it's great for kids to see all kinds of parents represented in picture books.  I'd love to visit April and Esme's toothfairy house so wonderfully depicted in our modern world.  This is a very cool book!



Perfect Square
By Michael Hall

The square was perfectly happy being a square until it was cut, torn, shredded, shattered, crumpled, ripped and wrinkled.  Each time, it transforms itself into something great: a fountain, a park, a mountain.  Creative, artsy illustrations and a story that is an allegory for living - not just how art can transform but how attitude can, too!
