Orchard Books (NY), 1997

Brilliant book about Parenting
This is a children's book with a twist--it really is about the joys of parenting and the difficulty of letting go. I think every new parent should have this book on their shelves, for reading over the years.

Oh, No! Where Are My Pants? and Other Disasters: Poems

Lee Bennett Hopkins

HarperCollins, 2005

Hasty haircuts and other kid-sized calamities
This review first appeared in the "Ephrata (PA) Review." Calamities every child can identify with-a friend moving away, homesickness at camp, not catching the fly ball that gives the other team the game-are bemoaned in this compendium of 14 light-hearted poems, each ...

The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business

Werner Holzwarth

Chrysalis Children's Books, 2001

Classic child-focused humor
I first encountered this book when I took a Children's Literature course in college. A bestseller in Germany, it had been banned in the United States because of its subject matter, so our professor had to show us the original German book and translate it for us. After ...

The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit

Werner Holzwarth, Wolf Erlbruch

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007

Not as good in English
I've had this book in Korean for quite some time now. I would routinely translate it for my friends to their great amusement. The Korean version is much more frank in the subject matter, though. The title is literally "Who pooped on my head?" with numerous explicit ...

The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit Mini Edition

Werner Holzwarth, Wolf Erlbruch

Abrams Image, 2007

This is the FUNNIEST BOOK!
I first read this book ten years ago when someone brought it in to work. I laughed so hard I couldn't stop! Then I tried to find it everywhere, bookstores, kids stores, online stores, you name it. Part of the difficulty was remembering its name. I would do an ...

Animal Kisses: Notecards

Wolf Erlbruch

Chronicle Books, 2008

too cute
These cards are good quality and just adorable. If you are a throwback like me (ie use a pen and stamp periodically), and are a fan of animal whimsy, these are for you.

Cierra Los Ojos
Wolf Erlbruch

Editorial Juventud, 2003

The Butterfly Workshop

Gioconda Belli

Europa Editions, 2006

Never give up on your dreams
What a wonderful message to send to our young readers. I read this book aloud for three nights running to my 5 and 9 year old children. They were both captivated and completely "got it." The illustrations are quirky and beautiful, and the message is one that ...

The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business: Plop-up Edition!

Werner Holzwarth, Wolf Erlbruch

Anova Books, 2008

Cute story - pop-ups don't work
I saw this book in the bookstore, and was (almost) enraptured. It's a kinda disgusting, more than a little weird book about a mole who needs to know who pooed on his head, and so goes about asking other animals to poo for him so he can compare. Perfect for the ...

Animal Friends Postal Cards

Chronicle Books, 1998

Wry, charming illustrations beautifully packaged
Two each of twelve wonderful postcards (with envelopes!) come packaged in a wooden gift box, but that's just the beginning. These illustrations are wry, fabulously funny, and artistically perfect. There's the sailor-suited crocodile whose large belly shelters a ...

Oh, No! Where Are My Pants?
Lee Bennett (EDT)/ Erlbruch, Wolf (ILT) Hopkins

Harpercollins, 2005

De la petite taupe qui voulait savoir qui lui avait fait sur la tête

Werner Holzwarth, Wolf Erlbruch

Milan, 1993

GREAT
Unlike the previous reviewer, I was familiar with the book when I bought it and IT IS GREAT! (recommended to me by a pediatrician friend) The drawings are well done and the story is funny and cute, with just enough 'poopoo' and 'caca' to appeal to your average 2-4 ...
