Goggles (Picture Puffin)
Ezra Jack Keats
Puffin, 1998
Love the books about Peter...
I think this is a great book, along with the other books in the series. My two-year old daughter likes to read the books about Peter and in fact, will turn the pages and "read" the book herself, talking about the pictures which vividly tell the story. We live in the ...

John Henry: An American Legend
Ezra Jack Keats
Dragonfly Books, 1987
John Henry is a classic man vs. machine folktale.
I originally read this book when I was a boy and I remember how hauntingly beautiful I found the story. John Henry is still one of my favorite heroes and I collect everthing I can find on him. The book has burned itself into my soul! I have no idea where my original ...

Whistle for Willie
Ezra Jack Keats
Viking Juvenile, 1964
finally, a book my one year old and I both enjoy
I love Keats' beautiful collage-style illustrations. As an urban apartment dweller, I also appreciate a book that shows children living in cities and in apartments. The stereotypical "house" that appears in most children's books looks nothing like the home my daughter ...

Regards To The Man In The Moon (Reading Rainbow Book)
Aladdin, 1987
Awesome for the Imagination
This is a great book for a few reasons and not just that Ezra Jack Keats wrote it. First, it addresses an important issue; that no matter what you look like, how you dress or how much money you don't have your friends are the ones who are true to you. In addition, ...

Great Book for Babies, Kids and Adults to Share!
We love this book! I hope it never ever goes out of print. We started reading it with our son when he was about 11 months old. He loved the rhythms and we all loved the illustrations. It is beautiful to look at while you read. Now our son is almost two and I find ...

A favorite of mine for years!
I was thrilled to see that "Jennie's Hat" was once again available. I first "met" Jennie in the library of one of the elementary schools that I served as an art teacher. I liked the story and loved the illustrations which feature clever and colorful collages. It was ...

Apt. 3 (Picture Books)

Apartment 3
I first read this book to my daughter when she was 4-years-old. The New York tenement setting was such a foreign world in contrast to her suburban Dallas upbringing that she was immediately enthralled with the fact that so many families of diverse ethnic backgrounds ...
