    <![CDATA[This book won the Minnesota Book Award, and, as the title may suggest,  it's a Minnesota kind of book. Old Man Winter is an ornery ol' cuss in a rawhide hat, a kind of anti-Santa who spreads the fluffy white stuff across the land from the back of a magical flying truck. Stephen Gammell has won the Caldecott  Medal and twice has been on the Caldecott honor list.	His pastel-and-watercolor illustrations are richly colored, with a spiky quality that fits his grumbling hero perfectly. Purple and blue predominate--and white, of course--with the occasional smear of pale green. The text is extremely brief--rarely more than four or five words per double-page spread--and most of it is done by hand in a scratchy, irregular style that, like the illustrations themselves, are reminiscent of Ralph Steadman's deliberate messiness. Some  will be amused, others perplexed by the surprise ending--Old Man Winter is no more (or less) than a young girl's doll! Either way, this exuberant romp is a vivacious, visually glorious tribute to winter. Click to see a sample spread. Illustration is from <em>Is That You Winter?</em>, copyright ©1997 by Stephen Gammell, reproduced by permission of Harcourt Brace &amp; Company. (Ages 3 to 6)]]>

    <![CDATA[Ahh, there's nothing like a nice Sunday drive with the family. But  what's this we're hearing from the back seat? &quot;Hey your foot is over!&quot; &quot;Well  you're touching!&quot; &quot;Well you're a poopy face!&quot; &quot;Well you have booger breath!&quot;  Anyone who has ever taken a road trip with a sibling or two knows the routine.  The brother and sister in Stephen Gammell's thrill-a-minute <em>Ride</em> warm up  with the usual back-seat antics, a poke here, an insult there, and move quickly  on to intergalactic intensity, as Brother blasts off Sister in a spaceship  (&quot;Hah... like I'm sorry I'll never see you again?&quot;), prehistoric battle (&quot;You  watch out... you're about to be extinct!&quot; &quot;Phew... you already stinct!&quot;), and  good, old-fashioned dirty fighting, as Sis dumps the contents of a garbage truck  on her brother.<p>  Beware: here's where those epic car fights--the ones that have Mom saying &quot;Do  you want me to pull this car over right now?&quot;--can lead, with enough imagination  and ire. Stephen Gammell's pastel, pencil, and watercolor illustrations take  delighted readers for a joy ride in this humorous and imaginative view of  sibling squabbles. Gammell, who received the Caldecott Medal for <em>Song and Dance Man</em>, and the  Caldecott Honor for <em>The Relatives  Came</em> and <em>Where the  Buffaloes Begin</em>, claims that what we see in this book <em>never</em>  happened in the back seat of his parents' car when he was a kid. (Ages 3 to 7) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>
