Beautiful biography of a man who took the risk of doing on television what had not been done before: engaging children through authentic gentleness, imagination, and wisdom. Highly recommended!
A beautiful exploration of water in its many, many forms. Sparse text embraces extremely rich vocabulary, metaphor, simile, comparison and contrast that engage all the senses. Calm illustrations depict the text so well that without words, readers could creatively recreate the experience. Award-winning and masterful.
Wow, what a winning combination of text and illustration—worthy of every award this book has received so far! Following the life of a single honeybee, the text leads readers through the drama of an unfolding life, and in the process, reveals the life development of the species. The illustrations provide incredible detail and up-close perspectives. Unforgettable!
