"Dave the Potter" by Laban Carrick Hill<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Dave was an extraordinary artist, poet, and potter living in South Carolina in the 1800s. He combined his superb artistry with deeply observant poetry, carved onto his pots, transcending the limitations he faced as a slave. In this inspiring and lyrical portrayal, National Book Award nominee Laban Carrick Hill's elegantly simple text and award-winning artist Bryan Collier's resplendent, earth-toned illustrations tell Dave's story, a story rich in history, hope, and long-lasting beauty.</span>Mrs. Nguyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108499288209069272.post-9398969182182050142015-06-10T19:23:00.000-04:002015-06-10T19:23:53.314-04:00The Noisy Paint Box<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Vasya Kandinsky was a proper little boy: he studied math and history, he practiced the piano, he sat up straight and was perfectly polite. And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers—like a proper artist. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">But as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound—the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony! And as he grew older, he continued to </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">hear </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">brilliant colors singing and </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">see</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">vibrant sounds dancing.

Throughout his life, Kandinsky experienced colors as sounds, and sounds as colors—and bold, groundbreaking works burst forth from his noisy paint box. </span>Mrs. Nguyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108499288209069272.post-78271634704511542022015-06-10T19:19:00.000-04:002015-06-10T19:19:11.120-04:00Young Frank Architect<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Young Frank sees creative possibilities everywhere, and likes to use anything he can get his hands on—macaroni, old boxes, spoons, and sometimes even his dog, Eddie—to creates things like chairs out of toilet paper rolls and twisting skyscrapers made up of his grandfather’s books. But Old Frank is skeptical; he doesn’t think that’s how REAL architects make things.</div>

One day, donning matching bow ties, straw boater hats, and Le Corbusier-inspired glasses, they visit The Museum of Modern Art, where they see the work of renowned architects like <a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=2108" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #ff3300; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Frank Gehry">Frank Gehry</a>and <a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=6459" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #ff3300; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Frank Lloyd Wright">Frank Lloyd Wright</a>. And they learn that real architects do in fact create wiggly chairs, twisty towers, and even entire cities.

Sarah Jane Hartwell is scared and doesn't want to start over at a new school. She doesn't know anybody, and nobody knows her. It will be awful. She just knows it. With much prodding from Mr. Hartwell, Sarah Jane reluctantly pulls herself together and goes to school. She is quickly befriended by Mrs. Burton, who helps smooth her jittery transition. This charming and familiar story will delight readers with its surprise ending.</span>Mrs. Nguyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108499288209069272.post-71105668022802232902015-06-10T15:54:00.000-04:002015-06-10T15:54:10.048-04:00How to Get a Girlfriend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The innocent chicken just wants to help, but things get worse and worse-and bluer and bluer--the more she tries. Playing with colors and perspective, and using minimal text, this richly layered story reveals new things to see and laugh about with each reading.</span>Mrs. Nguyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108499288209069272.post-79962638689434652332013-08-23T16:15:00.001-04:002013-10-04T21:02:53.529-04:00The Pout-Pout Fish<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

by Peter Laufer<br />

High in the mountains of Mexico is the village of Paracho. In Paracho,
guitars are everywhere. They're made in factories at the edge of town
and in workshops on the side streets. They hang in the stores that line
the main road, and they're played in the street, in restaurants, in the
concert hall, at the yearly festival, and in the village school.

Ehlert combines simple, stylized shapes of flat, high intensity color

while clearly and colorfully labeling each plant on an adjacent garden
marker. Children will especially delight in the six pages of varying
width depicting all the flowers of each color of the rainbow. A
celebration of the garden, the power of shape and color, and the harmony

"Monsters Love Colors"<br />
by Mike Austin<br />
<br />
Take four little gray monsters, introduce them to three bigger monsters
who are bright blue, intense red, and shiny yellow, and your result is a
joyously messy lesson in primary colors. The colorful monster trio
keeps asking their gray friends the same question: “What new favorite
color can we make for you?” Following each reply, the bigger monsters

"The Day the Crayons Quit"<br />
by: Drew Daywalt<br />
<br />
Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons,
he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had
enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to
Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue
needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and
Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the
sun.<br /> What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?Mrs. Nguyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108499288209069272.post-74500188893307995192013-08-23T15:40:00.001-04:002013-08-23T15:40:51.622-04:00Mouse Shapes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Mouse Shapes"<br />
by: Ellen Stoll Walsh<br />
<br />
When three little mice run from a cat, they find a cluster of brightly
colored squares, triangles, rectangles, circles, ovals, and diamonds
where they hide until he leaves. Soon they are moving the shapes about
to create pictures: a house, a wagon, and even a cat. After the real cat
pounces, they hatch a clever plan to scare him away.Mrs. Nguyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108499288209069272.post-70541905500320307462013-05-16T08:44:00.001-04:002013-05-16T08:44:59.141-04:00The Grouchy Ladybug<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"The Grouchy Ladybug"<br />
by Eric Carle<br />
<br />
Progressing through a series of brilliantly colored die-cut pages, a
bad-tempered braggart becomes a nicer, happier, better-behaved bug. This
"visual delight ... can readily be used to discuss manners and social
behavior."--<i>The Reading Teacher</i>. The arrangement of the book also introduces concepts of comparative size and telling time.<br />
