Highest Mountain, Smallest Star: A Visual C… di Kate Baker

This book is a beautiful, 11"x13.5" informational book with all sorts of facts including: dinosaurs, animals, bugs, trees, solar systems, planets, mountains, oceans, weather, birds, sea creatures, buildings, transportation, human history, microscopic life, and the universe. The information is everything a curious kid would want to know presented with illustrations by award-winning artist Page Tsou. I'm certain that children would be engrossed in the fascinating illustrations that have a vintage, traditional, sepia, subdued feel, as much as the facts. It's appropriate for grades 1-5.… (altro)

This rhyming board book takes little ones underground in numerous locations. Some are man made, others created by nature, or animals.

All together a true worldwide adventure, nicely done.… (altro)

Story Path di Kate Baker

Originally published in the UK, with text by British author Kate Baker and illustrations by Brazilian artist Madalena Matoso, Story Path is a choose-your-own-adventure style picture-book, one in which the reader is presented with a number of different narrative paths to follow, leading to a wealth of possible adventures. Whether one starts out as a princess, a vampire cat, or an adventurous octopus, there are many different routes to follow, and many exciting things to encounter...

Although not always the best audience for this type of thing - I tend to get impatient, and then (paradoxically) bored by the endless options available - I do think that Story Path is a fun example of this type of book. Children who enjoy having more control over the storytelling process will enjoy this one, and the questions at the bottom of each two-page spread will allow adult readers to engage their audience. The artwork is bright and colorful, and will hold the reader's attention. Recommended to anyone in the market for choose-your-own-adventure picture-books.… (altro)
