Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book)

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 2006

In the eye of the mind...
David Wiesner is the Stephen King of illustrated children's books: off-kilter, weird, and supernatural. However, Wiesner underlies all he draws with humor, joy, spunk. He has won the Caldecott Gold Medal three times, for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and "Flotsam." ...

Teachers, This is a must for your classroom this year.
Since Disney is planning to have this book come out as a movie in December, it is the perfect time to read this book in class. Then the class could go on a field trip to see the movie for a Christmas treat. I love how the book talks to the "reader" and teaches ...

Looks great, a lot of good information about the states, easy use
I really liked this product. It is nicely made, and provides a lot of interesting information about each state. Some of the quarters were hard to get in, but if you push against them with your thumb, it works well. And once the quarters are in, they don't fall out, ...

The Three Pigs

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 2001

Stay in the pictures? Sez who?
I am surely not surprised that David Wiesner has joined the world of modern art with this innovative story that jumps right off the pages. Ever heard of that expression: It is so real it jumps out of the pages? Wiesner plays with this concept and has the pigs come out ...

Another great book from David Halberstam
