Floating Home

Written by David Getz

This was the first book that I ever illustrated. It's about a young girl
who goes for a journey on the space shuttle. It filled with facts, a good story,
and a few laughs. It's got a much longer, and more sophisticated text
than I usually work with. This book is good for elementary school students,
and can even be enjoyed by 3rd and 4th grade readers. I spent a lot of time
making sure the images were factual, and this was the book that inspired my
fictional/non-fiction work such as My Race Car and My Fire Engine.
"...this well-researched book uses the girl he calls Maxine...to explain the nuts and bolts of
actual space travel. The pictures, by Michael Rex, are smart and sassy, like Maxine."
--- The New York Times Book Review (Julie Salamon, 12/4/98)
"Rex's acrylic paintings have a cartoony appeal...compositions are varied...contain those details
that enrich and add depth. Maxine's is the eyecatching, dominant figure in nearly every
spread: stocky, purposeful, and cheerful as all get out. The final illustration...is remarkably satisfying.---"The Big Picture", The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (May 1997),

Crunch Munch

Written by Jonathan London


This is the third book in the Jonathan London series. (Wiggle Waggle,
and Snuggle Wuggle are right below.) This one is about eating. I think
that this is my favorite of the three.

Forthcoming Books has a fun announcment about the Jonathan London series.

Wiggle Waggle

Written by Jonathan London

This one is about how animals walk. "How does a duck walk? Wiggle waggle,
wiggle waggle. How does a penguin walk? Wibble waddle, wibble waddle."
This is great for story times and read-alouds. It's a good book for getting children
up on their feet and moving. There are three speeds for reading this book; read it at a
normal speed, than read it fast, then read it faster! The children will work
themselves into a frenzy! This is the first book in the Jonathan London series.
It was also the first book that I used only characters on the page, and left the
backgrounds white.
American Booksellers Association Choice: for the boisterous two-year-olds!

Snuggle Wuggle

Written by Jonathan London

This one is about how animals hug.
"How does a bunny hug? Snuggle Wuggle, snuggle wuggle.
How does a cub hug? Cozy dozy, cozy dozy."
A very good, parent and child bed-time book. The second Jonathan London
book that I illustrated.

Sunrise

Written by Helena Clare Pittman

A very simple counting book with a rhyming text.
"Sunrise. Cat lies. Baby cries. Papa ties." It shows a busy family getting
ready for their day. The counted objects are hidden in large full spread
drawings, with a re-cap at the end.
"...an edifying blend of education and entertainment..."---Kirkus Reviews

The Fattest, Tallest, Biggest
Snowman Ever

This is part of the Scholastic Hello Math program.
It's a story about two children who build snowmen,
then measure them using different household objects.
If your child likes number related activities, this might be fun.
