It’s almost Christmas and Corduroy sits on a department store shelf, wishing he could be a child’s holiday gift-but he’s a plain bear, and nobody seems to notice him. He sets out across the store to ask Santa Claus for help, but he can’t visit without wearing a special outfit! After stopping to try on hats, boots, and even baby clothes, Corduroy finally arrives at the North Pole. Can Santa help Corduroy find a new home in time for Christmas? With warm humor and classic art, A Christmas Wish for Corduroy takes readers back to the beginning and shows how Corduroy became the beloved bear we know today. This is a heartwarming story about the power of hope, perseverance, and friendship--an important addition to any Corduroy collection, and the perfect way to celebrate Corduroys 50th anniversary. Review Praise for A Christmas Wish for Corduroy: A story that can stand next to the original two Corduroy tales without apology. A pleasurable and satisfying back story for the beloved bear named Corduroy. Not too long, not too hard-just right. --Kirkus Reviews As they provide a lovely bit of backstory for Corduroy fans, the creators ofCorduroy Lost and Found again show their prowess at recreating Freeman’s inviting narrative and scratchboard art.--Publishers Weekly About the Author B.G.

-Titulo Original : Meet The Latkes-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Imagine James Marshalls The Stupids celebrating Hanukkah, and youd get the Latke family! Lucy Latkes family is just like yours or mine. Except that theyre potato pancakes. And also, they are completely clueless. After lighting the menorah and gobbling the gelt, Grandpa Latke tells everyone the Hanukkah story, complete with mighty Mega Bees who use a giant dreidel to fight against the evil alien potatoes from Planet Chhh. Its up to the Latke family dog to set the record straight. (To start with, they were Maccabees, not Mega Bees...) But hell have to get the rest of the Latkes to listen to him first! Review FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY The Latke family is celebrating the Festival of Lights. Yes, theyre actual potato pancakes; no, theyre not going to eat themselves (the menu calls for another traditional treat, jelly-filled donuts called sufganiyot). Grandpa Latke takes it upon himself to tell the story of CHHA-nukah! to Lucy Latke, but his narrative quickly goes off the rails: the heroes are yarmulke-wearing mega-bees, not Maccabees; their enemy is alien potatoes instead of Antiochus; a dreidel is turned into a Trojan Horse; and the tongue twister tattered tater tyrants makes a totally gratuitous appearance. Thank goodness the family dog, Applesauce (also a latke), is on hand to set the story straight. Readers who like their humor broad and goofy will lap this up, and Silberberg (Pond Scum) makes it extra tasty with sprawling and genially messy cartooning that looks like it was created by someone hopped up on chocolate gelt.

-Titulo Original : Llama Llama Gram And Grandpa-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Review Praise for Llama Llama Gram and Grandpa: With a carefully crafted rhyming text and comforting painted images that match genuinely the emotion of a toddler’s first night away from home, this book is a charming success. -School Library Journal It’s an exciting day for Llama Llama; he’s going to visit Gram and Grandpa Llama and spend the night! His first night away from home….and from Mama. But he makes sure to pack everything he needs. And there are so many fun things to do with Gram and Grandpa. It’s not until he gets ready for bed that he realizes that he’s forgotten something important. Fuzzy Llama! Fortunately, Grandpa Llama has a wonderful solution and soon Llama Llama is having sweet dreams. From School Library Journal PreS-Dewdney tackles the topic of staying at Gram and Grandpas overnight. Llama is excited for his special visit as he packs up his clothes and his stuffed animal, Fuzzy Llama. However, when he unpacks, he realizes, rather upsettingly, that his comfort object was left behind. Gram and Grandpa spend the day distracting little Llama by playing outside or building in the workshop, but with each activity, he anxiously remembers Fuzzy Llamas absence. While the text carries along with a seemingly pleasing nighttime routine (Take a bath./Then comb and brush./Settle in for stories. Hush./Finish books/and get a kiss), the illustrations show Llama looking more distressed and anxious before bed. After Gram asks whats the matter, we watch as Llamas lips begin to quiver./Llama starts to shake and shiver./Llama needs his Fuzzy near,/but FUZZY LLAMA ISNT HERE! The following page shows all three Llamas looking at readers for help. Quickly, its Grandpa who finds a solution. Grandpa offers a special toy from when he was just a little boy. In a satisfying ending, Llama realizes hes not alone and that hes in his home… away from home. With a carefully crafted rhyming text and comforting painted images that match genuinely the emotion of a toddlers first night away from home, this book is a charming success.

-Titulo Original : Madelines Christmas-Fabricante : Viking Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: “In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines the smallest one was Madeline.” Nothing frightens Madeline-not tigers, not even mice. With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers even after 75 years! Its the night before Christmas and everyone is sick in bed. All except brave Madeline, who is up and about and feeling just fine. Taking care of eleven little girls and Miss Clavel is hard work, but when Madeline finds help from a magical merchant, the girls embark on a Christmas journey that will surely make them forget their sniffles and sneezes. Ludwig Bemelmans (1898-1962) was the author of the beloved Madeline books, including Madeline, a Caldecott Honor Book, and Madelines Rescue, winner of the Caldecott Medal. Review Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring because of a nasty, contagious illness--even the mouse is in bed with a miserable cold. Only brave Madeline is up and about ... competently running the household until she hears a knock at the door--a visitor whom she suspects might be Santa Claus. Instead it is a magical-rug merchant, with 12 red carpets that Madeline thinks would be perfect for the 12 girls and For our ice-cold in the morning feet. She procures a few francs from Miss Clavel and pays the merchant. Without his rugs, however, he is very chilly, and he feels quite silly for having sold them. He returns to the old house (still covered in vines), where Madeline helps him thaw out, and he works a little Christmas magic--sending the girls on cross-country carpet rides to surprise their parents. Of course, Miss Clavels bell breaks the spell and theyre all back in time to celebrate the New Year. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson From Publishers Weekly Madeline joined the company of story immortals in 1939, when Bemelmans introduced the lion-hearted French child to the world. The original and five sequels excited critical raves, awards and an international readership. Now the sixth saga, reprinted from a McCalls magazine feature, will be offered as a book. On Christmas Eve, the old house in Paris, covered with vines, is also swarming with germs. Miss Clavel and her charges, except Madeline, are downed by the flu. So the littlest of the 12 girls nurses the ailing ones but a mysterious caller arrives with the promise of turning a sad Yuletide into an adventure. Madeline buys 12 rugs from the turbaned visitor and tucks them around the chilly invalids until she discovers that the covers are more than comforting. They are magic. They take Madeline and her friends on a wonderful flight, bringing back the joys of the season. Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review That old house in Paris that is covered with vines still holds the irrepressible Madeline, who here manages to keep things going when everyone is sick abed Christmas Eve....The pictures are vintage Bemelmans -- brisk, energetic, and strikingly composed.
