"Hurry! Hurry!", "Nibble Nibble" and "The Origami Master"
Imaginative books all.
Hurry! Hurry!
4 stars
Author: Eve Bunting
Illustrator: Jeff Mack
The hen calls all the farm animals with "Hurry! Hurry!" All of them come, each with a repeated comment, as they gather in the barn for the big event. Hen's egg is hatching.
The illustrations are colorful. The animals have a felt texture to them. This is just a fun book to read with a young child.
Nibble Nibble
3 stars
Author: Margaret Wise Brown
Illustrator: Wendell Minor
The highlight of this book are the illustrations of the rabbits and other creatures. They look soft with marvelous detail.
The text is of several poems by Brown. The poems might be cute for a young child, but leave much to be desired otherwise.
The Origami Master
5 stars
Author: Nathaniel Lachenmeyer
Illustrator: Aki Sogabe
The origami master lives in an isolated home surrounded by nature. He spends his time folding origami paper into various creatures and other forms.
One day he finds an elephant folded differently from his. who has folded this? He folds a dragon only to find a better example on his desk the next day.
The master sets out a spider and hides to see who is doing this paper folding. It is a bird, a warbler that lives in the tree outside his room.
The master captures the bird to learn its secrets.
The illustrations have an Oriental look to them. They have that simplicity and beauty to them.
At the end are the instructions for folding an origami bird.
