Little Monkey is bored. Looking for something to do, he climbs aboard a lily pad and is quickly swept downriver. Luckily, his mother has told him, "If you ever get lost, find other monkeys. They will lead you home." As it turns out, the jungle is alive with monkeys of all shapes and sizes, and each new group has something to share. He learns to howl, swing, eat fruit, and hug. While he has to find his own way home, he uses these new skills to do so. Once there, he shows the others what he has learned so that no one is ever bored again.
Come tag along with painter mouse and his apprentice, as they take the reader on a whimsical, color-filled adventure. Margaret Wise Brown's simple and lyrical rhymes are engaging and introduce each of eleven colors. But it's Loretta Krupinski's exquisite and imaginative illustrations that make this picture book a real standout. Each dazzling two page spread is centered around one color, and the bold, bright, and busy artwork invites little ones to linger and explore. With a creative summary of colors at the end, to help youngsters remember what they learned, My World Of Color is an interactive feast for the eyes! Julia loved this book!
Early one cold morning a boy and his dog rise to deliver newspapers. In almost reverential silence they eat breakfast, prepare the newspapers, then step out into the chill, leaving sleeping parents and sister inside. Pilkey perfectly captures the thrill of being out early, seeing the world so new and having it all to oneself. Something magical is at work on this most ordinary of paper routes, tangible in the controlled hush of the narrative and in the still, moon-lit landscapes. And, at last, as his family awakens to golden sunlight, the paperboy returns to his bed, prepared to enter dreamland.
