Booktopia: February 2008
http://booktopia.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Julia Gillian and the Art of Knowing. When her mother will butter her toast, and what plate she will put her toast on. Alison McGhee has written a sweet "moment in time" story about Julia Gillian's summer. She is growing up, and fighting parts of it. Black and white illustrations by Drazen Kozjan perfectly compliment the story. Julia Gillian is a great read for fans of Ivy and Bean. And those who have outgrown Amber Brown. Friday, February 22, 2008. Jesse Karp is back! This is...

It happened with The Mitten. And more recently with Georgie's Halloween. A walk down memory lane! Labels: 12 Days of Halloween. I am a school librarian&#...

Bones, Glob, and Drac all tell him to get back home. Baby's not scared.yet. When he really is scared and needs Mama, wouldn't you know it, she shows up. With wonderful rhyming text, Where's My Mummy.
