Mailing May

Summary: Nice story, perfect drawings, great book
Review: I chose this book to read to a group of children, ages 2 to 11. They all sat, listening, interested, and loved it! The story is so nice and the drawings are perfect. I think a child doesn't have to "believe it" to believe in the passion behind it. They get it. It was great.

Summary: Mailing May - clever, creative, great pictures.
Review: I love Ted Rand's pictures. I'm trying to make a collection of books with his art works, but there are many. Mailing May is one I hadn't read and was delighted. I saw Ted Rand at work during one of the workshops for Children's Writers of the Northwest. He's pleasant as well as talented. I would recommend this book to those who love little children's stories with substance as well as art work.

Summary: A good story...
Review: This is a touching story of a little girl who can't afford to visit her grandparents. It's set in the early 1900's. Children will learn a little history. They'll enjoy the family's solution to their problem. This is a lovely story. I'm afraid, however, that I enjoyed it a bit more than my children. From their 1990's perspective, the story was a little hard to believe.
