Penguin Young Readers Hopefully the Scarecrow
Book SynopsisA beautifully crafted friendship tale that's just right for storytime. --KirkusThe perfect Fall book for kids! A poignant picture book about a scarecrow who befriends the young girl who reads to him day after day until one day he's left wondering where she is. A scarecrow stood in the garden. Tall, proud, and smiling. Every day a girl brought her favorite books to the garden and she read to him. He heard tales of courage and of hope. And when she said, The End, the scarecrow always felt a little bit taller and braver. Year after year, she came and she read to him. Until one spring, two different hands picked him up from the garden shed and placed him in the garden. He waited, but she didn't come to read to him. With poignant words from award-winning author Michelle Houts and lush illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor winner Sara Palacios, Hopefully the Scarecrow is a tender distillation of the enduring power of friendship and a heartwarming look at the ways stories connect us. PerTrade Review"This is one of the BEST picture books I’ve read so far in 2023. Its writing is clever. The story is well-constructed. And, it made me feel warm and fuzzy things." --Pat Zietlow-Miller, author of Be Kind and Wherever You Go"Friendship can withstand time and distance thanks to hope. Houts’ precise, evocative text employs rich vocabulary and will appeal to imaginative youngsters. Palacios’ enchanting illustrations combine a vivid palette of reds, oranges, greens, and blues with an irresistible retro style that lends a timelessness to images of dragons, castles, sailing ships, and tiny scarecrow heroes that accompany scenes of the girl reading aloud. A quiet, beautifully crafted friendship tale that’s just right for storytime." -Kirkus reviews"The gentle, smoothly written narrative revolves around the scarecrow, a silent, sympathetic character who asks for nothing but appreciates what he receives. The colorful, distinctive illustrations focus on the two main characters, often surrounded by a profusion of flowers that express the idyllic happiness of their times together. A simply told, emotionally satisfying picture book." --Booklist

Simon & Schuster The Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn
Book SynopsisSynopsis coming soon.......Trade ReviewThe Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn. Burleigh, Robert (Author) , Blitt, Barry (Illustrator) Mar 2011. 48 p. Atheneum, hardcover, $17.99. (9780689830419). The neat switcheroo in this picture-book biography has the story of Mark Twain’s life told by one of his most endearing characters, Huck Finn. As one might expect, Huck isn’t the most articulate of narrators (“I ain’t no highfalutin’ talker”), and he would probably rather be doing just about anything else: “This ain’t intendin’ to be some windy biografy. I don’t lean much to writin’, and I don’t fetch to books much neither, ’specially long ones.” Although Huck’s narration is almost overwhelmingly folksy, his undeniably cheery tone is infectious. He succinctly traces Clemens’ life from a boyhood romping around the shores of the Mississippi to his odd-jobbing endeavors as a steamboat captain, newspaper reporter, soldier, and prospector until he finally finds his true calling, as a “for-real writer,” and becomes one of the most famous men in the world. Blitt, a frequent New Yorker cartoonist, provides jaunty, cartoony pen-andwatercolor artwork, with exaggerated, tall-tale figures and period charm aplenty. Just the biography to reinforce, or even introduce, Twain’s stature as a nearly mythological figure in American letters. — Ian Chipman BOOKLIST, February 15, 2011The Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn Written by Robert Burleigh and illustrated by Barry Blitt (Atheneum; ISBN: 9780689830419; March 2011; Spring catalog p. 27) This playful biography of Mark Twain--narrated by his most famous of characters, Huckleberry Finn--begs to be read aloud with a backwoods twang. "Him bein' an author, you might 'spect he went to one of them fancy-pants schools people brag about. Heck, Sam hardly went to school at all! He growed up bein' poor, same as me, in a dusty village," declares Huck. Blitt (What's the Weather Inside?) contributes whimsical caricatures in pen, ink, and watercolor; a cherubic and ruddy-faced Huck, with a straw hat and a mop of hair over one eye, appears in each spread, appearing to play the dichotomous role of peeping tom and guardian angel (in one scene, he sprawls on a light fixture watching Twain write Huck's adventures as small cartoon figures of the characters paddle a raft right across Twain's pages). Enlarged and varied typefaces, used for emphasis and headings, may initially distract, but, as with the dialect, add to the delight. Burleigh's (Good-bye, Sheepie) book highlights the life of a great American author and is sure to whet readers' appetites for more about its straight-talking narrator. Ages 7–10. --Publishers Weekly, February 14, 2011, *STAR*BURLEIGH, Robert. The Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn. illus. by Barry Blitt. unpaged. chron. CIP. S & S/Atheneum. 2010. RTE $17.99. ISBN 978-0-689-83041-9. LC 2010006512. Gr 4-8–What would Huck Finn have to say about his creator? Burleigh and Blitt take an unusual perspective in this picture-book biography. In Huck’s colloquial voice, a portrait of Twain emerges that is engaging, accessible, and highly original. From his boyhood on the Mississippi, through his riverboat days, his writing and public speaking careers, and his adult family life, the main points of the writer’s life are covered. Blitt’s humorous illustrations are a perfect match for the tall-tale-inspired text. Rendered in pen, ink, and watercolor, the caricature style suits both Huck’s voice and Twain’s life. The muted blues and browns of the palette have an old-fashioned quality that amplifies the 19th-century setting. The cover illustration, of Huck on a book “raft” paddling with a fountain pen, cleverly demonstrates the book’s premise. Although children will be entertained by the account, the most enthusiastic audience may be students familiar with Twain’s work. One does not need to know Huck’s story to understand Twain’s, but doing so will increase appreciation for the ingenious nature of this collaboration.–Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher’s School, Richmond, VA - School Library Journal March 1, 2011 STARThe Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn Written by Robert Burleigh and illustrated by Barry Blitt (Atheneum; ISBN: 9780689830419; March 2011; Spring catalog p. 27) Hot on the heels of Susy Clemens, in Barbara Kerley’s The Extraordinary Mark Twain (According to Susy), BCCB 3/10, comes a rival Mark Twain child biographer, of sorts—Huckleberry Finn himself. With Burleigh’s, ahem, editorial assistance, Huck recreates his creator, one might say, in his own homespun voice: “Sam tried soldierin’. But it didn’t take. There wasn’t much sand in his craw for killin’ people. And . . . he was very unfavorable to bein’ killed hisself.” Huck not only effectively and wittily conveys the basics of his literary father’s life, but he also displays an excellent grasp of the critiques addressed to Twain’s work by both contemporaries and later generations: “Before I came along, most folks wouldn’t pay no attention to a story ’bout a no-account boy. . . . And they wouldn’t like that my words ain’t always presented in the King’s English.” Huck is assisted in his authorial debut by Barry Blitt, whose spidery line-and-watercolor paintings echo the fluid ink work of Robert Andrew Parker and the spot-on caricature of John Hendrix. Our “author” admits he “left a lot out,” but he slyly puts responsibility for any of his work’s shortcomings on Twain himself: “I coulda throwed more style into it, but I can’t do that very handy, not being brought up to it.” Fortunately, his editor supplies additional data in an appended note, and as to style—well, I reckon most kids’ll think he done just fine. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, March 2011, *STAR
