Light The Menorah
Light The Menorah Paul O. Zelinsky And All-of-a-kind Family Hanukkah The award-winning author/illustrator of numerous books (Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel , and Swamp Angel ) has created a holiday picture book for the ages, featuring Sydney Taylor's \"All-of-a-Kind Family\" and an engaging text by Emily Jenkins (Random/Schwartz & Wade, Sept. 2018). What is it about these stories that has such timeless and universal appeal? I think it's largely that these books give you the experience of being part of a big, bustling, functional family, one with huge supplies of love and humor. The stories include anxiety and fear and disappointment and drama--they are stories, after all--but the causes of the painful emotions seem very contained and unthreatening. Besides having such warmth, the books feel tremendously reassuring.

Swamp Angel
Soon Swamp Angel was the only one left who hadn't met up with Tarnation. Until one morning she awoke from dozing in the shade of a creek to find that four-legged forest of stubble staring at her across the stream. They faced off for a few minutes. \"Varmint,\" says [Angel], \"I'm much obliged for that pelt you're carryin'.\" Locked in a bear hug, Swamp Angel and Thundering Tarnation wrestled across the hills of Tennessee. They stirred up so much dust that those hills are still called the Great Smoky Mountains. They fought three days and three nights without a break. Swamp Angel decided to keep Thundering Tarnation's pelt as a rug. It was too big for Tennessee, so she moved to Montana and spread that bear rug out onto the ground in front of her cabin. Nowadays, folks call it the Shortgrass Prairie.

'Oscar' illustrators keep producing winners...
A youngster searching for his mother first has to tame a series of monsters in the hugely entertaining \"Mommy?\" (Scholastic, $24.95). Maurice Sendak's illustrations of the pajama-clad toddler's encounters with the monsters recall his Caldecott Medal-winning \"Where the Wild Things Are.\" And the story by Arthur Yorinks (author of the Caldecott-winning \"Hey, Al\") has a trick ending that will leave readers laughing. What makes it all extra special, however, is Matthew Reinhart's amazing paper engineering in which monsters literally jump out of the pages. (Ages 3-6.) Artist Paul O. Zelinsky, who won the Caldecott Medal for \"Rapunzel,\" has created illustrations for two new children's books. In \"The Shivers in the Fridge\" (Dutton, $16.99), careful observers of Zelinsky's vibrant illustrations will get some early clues of what's happening in author Fran Manushkin's whimsical story. (Ages 4- 8.) Zelinsky's black-and-white drawings for \"Toys Go Out\" (Schwartz & Wade/Random House, $16.95) expand the cozy fantasy created by author Emily Jenkins, who details the secret adventures of a trio of toys. (Ages 5-8.) Calvin and Rodney think it's hilarious that they've hypnotized Calvin's annoying little sister Trudy into thinking she's a dog. But, as author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg shows in \"Probuditi! (Houghton Mifflin, $18.95), Calvin and Rodney have to do some fast thinking when they seemingly can't get Trudy to snap out of it. The comical story by Van Allsburg, who won Caldecott Medals for \"The Polar Express\" and \"Jumanji,\" is well-matched by his trademark illustrations, softly brushed and full of life. (Ages 4-8.)

Andrew Baron is the brain and hands behind a number of fabulous and fun pop-up books. A \"paper engineer,\" he designs the moving parts, which can be pull-tab-operated or wheel-operated and may manifest in three dimensions as you turn a page or open a flap. Baron's most recent book project is Knick-Knack Pasa: The last page in Knick-Knack is amazing, with lots of things moving at once when you move the tab at the bottom. Baron: All but two of those were collaborations. Knick-Knack was a collaboration with a top illustrator, Paul O. Zelinsky, who won the Caldecott Medal and three Caldecott honors.

Illustrator alters style to fit story
\"Rapunzel,\" along with [Paul O. Zelinsky]'s Caldecott Honor books \"Hansel and Gretel\" and \"Rumpelstiltskin,\" reflect a painterly style of illustration. The pictures are full of detail, all carefully researched by Zelinsky. A beautiful Rapunzel, for example, lives atop a tower that would be at home in an Italian Renaissance painting. She holds her gorgeous golden locks in her hands -- and a quizzical black cat peers up at her from underneath the hair. His well-known \"The Wheels on the Bus,\" a mechanical book with movable parts, illustrates the familiar children's song, with humorous, whimsical drawings that depict the people on the bus and their route \"all over town.\" And the wipers on the bus -- if they haven't been tugged on one too many times by an overzealous child -- really do go \"swish, swish, swish.\" In \"Awful Ogre's Awful Day,\" written by Puget Sound-area poet Jack Prelutsky, Zelinsky conjures a delightful and lovable one-eyed monster, who feasts on \"scrambled legs\" and \"scream of wheat.\"
