Bless Us All: A Child's Yearbook of Blessings
PreSchool-K-In the same whimsical spirit as her delightful Dog Heaven (Scholastic, 1995), Rylant presents 12 months of simple, rhymed blessings, with special remembrances for household pets. The verses are brilliantly illustrated with full-page, one-dimensional, primitive-style acrylic paintings mounted on multicolored, multipatterned, fabric patches. The simple, bold figures of flowers, birds, animals, and people in busy interior and exterior settings are in lambent colors and face a text handsomely printed in varied shades on bright backgrounds. Dogs and cats, snow, snug houses, grandparents, raindrops, children who read, and autumn trees are among the cozy items blessed in this charming yearbook.Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VACopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
