Ross Collins draws dozens of wacky characters and one sweet little baby named Betty. Susan Lowell's rip-snorting story is filled with rodeo and ranch images that Jane Manning's illustrations bring to life. Good escapist reading-aloud book. Rick Winter's cadence and Mike Lester's fun-lovin' illustrations make you forget the heat and worry about the carpet. The wise storyteller here is a lad who stays out of the fracas.
Dinosaurs jump on beds and resist sleep.
Just like kids. Illustrator David Catrow's fungus is yucky and gross, a science experiment run amok. Kids and parents may change the way they think about science fairs. Steve Jenkins' paper collages set underwater scenery in beautiful colors. At once we count in Eng lish and Spanish.
