More picture books I have liked this year include:
The Shark God by Rafe Martin, illus. by David Shannon. What great, dramatic illustrations. Striking cover!
Sun Dance, Water Dance by Jonathan London, illus. by Greg Couch I was quite taken by the gorgeous, wild watercolors and scenes in this ode to summertime. It truly captures the feeling of hot summertime, and the lively, poetic prose is a perfect match for the art. Great for reading aloud, and a good model for students' poetry writing. This is a book that could be overlooked, but it's a lot of fun.
The Christmas Promise by Susan Bartoletti, illus. by David Christiana. A good book about the Depression era, along with Bonnie Christensen's Woody Guthrie: Poet of the People.
