GOLDILOCKS AND
THE THREE BEARS
“With the same delightfully irreverent
spirit that he brought to his retelling
of Little Red Riding Hood, Marshall
enlivens another favorite....The illustrations
are fraught with delicious humor
and detail. Like its predecessor, perfect
for several uses, from picture book hour
to beginning reading.’’ —KirkusH

JAMES MARSHALL’S CINDERELLA
[T]his isn’t your average Cinderella —
hearty and robust, she’s a hard worker
with a heart of gold. Filled with grinning
rats, a wacky fairy godmother, and a
whole coachful of laughs. “Will take its
rightful place on the fairy-tale shelves,
but won’t sit there for long!”

RED RIDING HOOD
“A thoroughly modern, thoroughly
charming retelling of the old favorite.
Witty and direct...both Granny and child
are swallowed, then rescued intact by
the hunter who kills the wolf....A perfect
union of words, story, and illustrations....
bravo!” —KirkusH

SPACE CASE
By Edward Marshall
A funny, offbeat creature visits earth on
Halloween. “Marshall’s bright crayon
colors over black lines cheerfully extend
the effect of the deadpan humor and
childlike situations. Young science fiction
buffs will delight in their own R2D2.”

THE QUEEN’S PROGRESS
Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline
“Set against the backdrop of the queen’s
annual ‘royal progress,’ this sumptuous
picture book details the common occurrences
that the monarch, her courtiers,
and servants faced each summer as they
roamed the english countryside... each
letter of the alphabet gives a tidbit of
information through a four-line rhyme,
expounded on in an accompanying
paragraph of prose text…A plus for any
collection.” —School Library JournalH
