1, 2, 3 TO THE ZOO
“A pleasurable counting book....each
colorful double spread contains a
numeral, a corresponding number of
animals—one elephant, two hippopotamuses
in a zoo-bound train car, and at
the bottom of the page, a miniature train
which grows longer as each carload of
animals is added.” —Booklist

and pictures by and about eric Carle
echoes Carle’s artistic style, hailed by one

DRAW ME A STAR
“A remarkable, quintessentially simple
book encompassing Creation, creativity,
and the cycle of life within the eternal....
Carle’s trademark style—vibrant tissue
collage on dramatic white—is wonderfully
effective in expressing the joy of creation,
while the economy with which he
conveys these universal ideas gives them
extraordinary power.” —KirkusH

high—especially when coupled with

Little Cloud
LITTLE CLOUD
“The format is simplicity itself. Against a
heavenly blue background, a little cloud
transforms itself. In one spread it turns
into a sheep, in another a shark, in a
third a rabbit. It even becomes a clown’s
hat, and then the whole clown. When
it joins up with the other clouds, they
turn dark together, and then it begins to
rain...this qualifies as a perfect story hour
choice—and segues nicely into a trip
outside to look up at the sky.” —Booklist

TODAY IS MONDAY
“Most people know the jaunty tune,
Today is Monday (‘Monday, string
beans, Tuesday, spaghetti’), but it gets
new life in a picture book bursting with
food, animals and lots of energy...Carle’s
always innovative artwork steps center
stage in an oversize format that allows
glorious colored collages to spread over
two pages.” —BooklistH
