Sheryl McFarlane's Book Blog: The Water Hole by Graeme Base
http://readingkidsbooks.blogspot.com/2006/09/water-hole-by-graeme-base.html
Tuesday, September 12, 2006. The Water Hole by Graeme Base. Last night I asked my daughter to bring me home a few books from the bookstore where she works to add to my collection. One of the books she brought me was The Water Hole. By Graeme Base, who also happens to have written one of my all time favourites, Animalia. Although The Water Hole. Isn’t new (published in 2001 by Puffin), like all of his other books, it is pure genius. Ripples in the water, gradually shrinks until it finally disappears.

Tuesday, April 04, 2006. The Queen's Feet by Sarah Ellis. Today I am procrastinating yet again, only this time it is from sorting out my taxes for my accountant. I use the modified shoe box method, and must add up the various categories that she has assigned. I have piles of paper everywhere, but every time I look up, I am distracted by a book. The temptation was too much. I pulled The Queen's Feet. A refreshing cup of tea and a half hour with a favourite picture book, and it's already time to get back t...

Sheryl McFarlane's Book Blog: Ben Overnight by Sarah Ellis
http://readingkidsbooks.blogspot.com/2006/09/ben-overnight-by-sarah-ellis_21.html
Thursday, September 21, 2006. Ben Overnight by Sarah Ellis. Whether movies or books, sequels are often just not as good as the first time around. Nothing could be farther from true with Sarah Ellis’ Ben books. Was perfect, and so is Ben Overnight. Ellis has a way of honing in on the things that are most important to kids, the things that are important to them like being a pirate or “lighter than air.”. Who else could sum up the issue at the core of a book while being creative; and all in a single line?
