I'll have to look at other reviews and hope parents/librarians have reported kids' reactions. After all, it doesn't really matter how creative a book is, or how artistic the illustrations are, if the little ones aren't enjoying it. I read it in McDermitt's library while visiting that hamlet. Oh, I just realized I know that author's name. Goodness she creates a diversity of books. I'll have to investigate her oeuvre (love that word :) more. Inspired by the old legend of Mother Holle, a Norse deity who has survived in the folklore of central Germany, and whose story was recorded as Frau Holle in the Kinder- und Hausmärchen of the Brothers Grimm, Grandmother Winter follows its titular character as she herds her flock of geese in spring, collects their feathers in summer, creates a feather-quilt in autumn, and shakes the quilt to bring snow in winter. Phyllis Root's gentle narrative evokes the beauty and wonder of the natural world, exploring the passing of the seasons and the changing activities of humans and animals throughout the year. Beth Krommes - who won the 2009 Caldecott Medal for The House in the Night - made her picture-book debut here, and her gorgeous scratchboard illustrations, tinted with watercolors, have all the power and magic of true folk-art. Altogether, a lovely little book - perfect for reading on a cold winter's day! A simple theme, the coming of winter, makes this a nice book for young students. The illustrations are done in scratchboard and watercolor. This book would be great for my pre-school class because we can compare how their families get ready for winter and how the people and animals in the book get ready for winter. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
