MARJORIE WEINMAN<br />
A BIG FAT ENORMOUS LIE<br />
Illustrated by David McPhail<br />
“The little boy’s lie is just a little<br />
one—he tells his parents he didn’t eat<br />
the cookies—but still (in the form of a<br />
big fat monster) it hangs about bothering<br />
him....Good psychology, cleverly<br />
attired.’’<br />

SHELDON, DYAN<br />
THE WHALES’ SONG<br />
Illustrated by Gary Blythe<br />
“Once upon a time...the ocean was<br />
filled with whales. They were as big as<br />
the hills. They were as peaceful as the<br />
moon.” Lilly listens, enthralled, to her<br />
grandmother tell of the whales she had<br />
loved as a child, and longs to hear their<br />
powerful songs for herself. “In a spare,<br />
poetic narrative, Sheldon captures a<br />
child’s wonder at these magnificent<br />
creatures, echoed, in a splendid debut, in<br />
Blythe’s oil paintings. Outstanding.”<br />

I AM REALLY A PRINCESS<br />
Illustrated by Paul Meisel<br />
“Children delight in imagining ‘what<br />
if?’ This story presents just such a happy<br />
romp for a little girl who knows (with all<br />
her heart) that her life will be different<br />
once her real parents, a king and a<br />
queen, know how she is treated....At the<br />
end of the day, though, this ‘princess’<br />
does enjoy some tickling and hugging<br />
from her parents like any ordinary child.<br />
Cheerful cartoon-style watercolor drawings<br />
offer a feast for the eyes on every<br />
page.” —School Library Journal<br />
