Lots of fantasy books to read this time around.
The Treasure (Rip Squeak Book)
5 stars
Author: Susan Yost-Filgate
Illustrator: Leonard Filgate
Euripides the frog arrives with a book of pirate stories to read to Rip, Jesse and Abbey. Tucked in this book is a map to a treasure hidden out in the garden. Of course the group must go treasure hunting and find a special treasure.
The illustrations are lush. The mice and kitten look as though their fur will be soft, if you stroke the page. They are rich with detail and filled with color.
Fabulous Flying Fandinis
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Ingrid Slyder
A new family, the Fandinis, move into the neighborhood. They are different. Their house, their clothes, their pets are anything but ordinary.
Bobby Brown is urged to visit by his parents. The Fandinis are delighted to have him visit and invite him to join in their activities on the trapeze, the trampoline and more. Should he? He isn't sure. Does he dare?
The illustrations are incredibly detailed. The Fandinis have a circus inside their house with animals, trapezes, high wire, all the things a circus once had. These all are found in the illustrations that take time to explore to find al the things happening within each panel.
