"One Windy Day", "Dog Heaven" and "The Blizzard's Robe"
Fantasy rules this week.
Dog Heaven
3 stars
Author/Illustrator: Cynthia Rylant
This is very much a Christian view of heaven. It is probably to help a young child through the loss of a pet dog.
The dogs go to heaven with lots of room to run, angels to spoil them and special treats.
The illustrations work.
One Windy Day
5 stars
Author: Tammi Salzano
Illustrator: Hannah Wood
Fox is a postman. He loves windy days, but it blows his letters many directions. This is a concept book for words such as high/low; over/under; and left/right.
The illustrations are colorful and fun. The leaves blow. Friends find the letters scattered by the wind. It is a charming book.
The Blizzard's Robe
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Robert Sabuda
This is written like a folk tale for people who live north of the Arctic Circle. Teune sews robes for the people to wear during the winter. All fear Blizzard.
One night Blizzard's robe is burned and he falls to the ground. Teune sews him a new robe. In return he gifts the people the Northern Lights.
The illustrations are interesting. They seem to be done on crinkled paper giving them an almost stained glass look. This is very effective.
