"Oh No!" and "Wolf In the Snow"

Two very different entries.

Oh No! or How My Science Project Destroyed the World
3 stars
Author: Mac Barnett
Illustrator: Dan Santat

The schematics in the frontispiece and backpiece are so detailed and official looking. The illustrations are nice. The story looks a lot like a Japanese creature feature like Godzilla. There are even Japanese comments in the illustrations.

Wolf In the Snow
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Matthew Cordell
Caldecott Medal

There is almost no text in this story. What text is there are sounds such as howling, barking and panting.
The illustrations are very simple, stylized. But these tell the story of a little girl walking home in the snow and finding a lost wolf cub. This is a story to encourage a very young child to tell the story from the illustrations.
