Helga's Dowry: A Troll Love Story
1977
Hey Kiddos! My last Tomie dePaola post was
Strega Nona, which is about a magic pasta pot and the mayhem that ensues when it falls into the wrong hands. I have several Tomie dePaola books but none more charming than Strega Nona, that is, until I added Helga's Dowry to my collection. Helga, in particular, has charmed it's way from mommy's bookshelf onto the Boog's. Admittedly, I will pretty much buy anything with his name attached to it, making Mr. dePaola one of my most fave illustrators. (Number one on my list being the late Maurice Sendak) I have gotten quite good at spotting them on my thrifting excursions. Although, after laying eyes on one of his illustrations you will pretty much agree that his work is quite unmistakable.
Helga is the loveliest troll in three parishes but, after being orphaned as a troll child, she was also the poorest. This became a problem for her when handsome Lars asks for her hand in marriage, for it is troll law that Helga must posess a dowry. With moonstruck eyes, Lars tells Helga he will go ask old Rich Sven for some advice.
Sven's Advice? Why, marry his daughter Plain Inge. With 30 Cows, 3 Chests of Gold and a mountain pasture, Plain Inge would make him the richest troll in the land! (with the exception of the troll king of course)
Upon hearing this news, Helga decides to take maters into her own hands! She writes Lars a note asking him to wait for her and she decides to go make her own fortune to supply herself with a suitable dowry.
"SOME PEOPLE ARE ARE LAZY, SOME PEOPLE VAIN, SOME PEOPLE ARE GREEDY;
IT'S ALL HELGA'S GAIN!"
She goes into the Land of People and bargains her way into a dowry of 35 Cows, in exchange for laundry, 4 Chests of Gold in exchange for everlasting beauty and, after clearing out the timber, a Pasture of her very own!
Upon learning that Lars was not going to wait for her and had intentions of marrying Plain Inge in her stead, she dismisses him.....
Only to receive a purposal from the Troll King himself, who is no need of riches and certainly in need of a hard working Troll wife!
What is really funny about this story, is that the Troll King has been interested in Helga all along! You can see him hiding within most of the illustrations watching Helga hard at work.

1958
A very lovely book about a woman, Madame Bodot, and her pet snake, Crictor; however, Crictor is no ordinary snake! He goes to school and even finds time to apprehend a cat burglar terrorizing his neighborhood. The Boog's favorite part of the book is when Crictor is delivered to Madame Bodot in a very peculiar O-shaped box!
Folks are so very impressed by Crictor, they award him with a medal, a statue is resurrected in his honor and a park is named after him.
A little interesting tidbit from one of Tomi's illustrations is depicted on page 21, there is a drawing of an octopus to represent the #8; however, the animal is drawn with only 7 legs..... Very Curious Indeed!

the poems and drawings of
One of his most famous books that I owned as a child. (in truth, it was the ONLY Silverstein book I owned/read until I came across
The Giving Tree in my early twenties) It was my first time in a new school and I sat there mesmerised as my third grade teacher read to us. It's amazing the things you can forget as time goes by. I had forgotten how this book made me want to be a writer and how I spent countless hours pouring over it's poems, always finding solace in the upside down crazy world Shel illustrated. There it sits in my collection, unread for what must be years; and yet, when I pick it up, it's familiar words take me back to a time when life was simple and days were long.
A few nights ago I came across this familiar poem which prompted me to pick up my copy. So many poems jumped out at me and I thought I would share some with you.
I think perhaps a Where the Sidewalk Ends weekly poem is in order. I wouldn't mind getting reacquainted with some old favorites.

Peter in The Snowy Day
Written and Illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats
1962
The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Jack Keats is the first major exhibition in this country to pay homage to Award Winning Author and Illustrator,
Ezra Jack Keats. Coincidentally,
The Snowy Day featured the first modern African-American protagonist to be illustrated in a full-color picture book. At the date of it's publication, in 1962, America was experiencing the height of the Civil Rights Movement and the book was a catalyst for change in the Children's Picture Book Industry. Needless to say, Peter has become an inspiration for generations of readers, The Boog being one of them.
The inspiration for Peter goes much deeper than the writer/illustrator is credited for. The Ethnicity of Peter takes a back seat as Keats literally paints a modern community right before your eyes. Growing up in the inner city myself, I have always related to the work of Keats in a very visceral way. His books touch upon life through the eyes of a child; a child that lives in uncertainty, but views their surroundings with conviction. His use of urban settings is not surprising, as he himself grew up in Brooklyn.
Being one of our favorites, I have written about Peter before (
here). Gladly, he remains a constant bedtime staple in our story book circulation.
The Exhibit, curated by
The Jewish Museum, is currently at
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA. and runs June 26 - October 14th 2012.

The Hubby and I are definitely City Mice.... but this past week we decided to surround ourselves with country-like surroundings at a local farm. . . . .
We took a trip to
Lamb's Farm this past week and schmoozed with the animals, visited their antique market and rode the carousel about a million and one times! Great fun was had by all, but mommy was happy to be home after such a long hot day spent in the sun.
As a tribute to our fun on the farm, I'd like to share a past post from the GooGooGallery's Archives:
Best Stories Ever
The Country Mouse and The City MouseRichard Scarry1971
Earlier in the year I picked up a Little Golden book copy of The Country Mouse and The City Mouse along with two other short tales which include The Fox and The Crow and The Dog and His Bone. All three stories happen to be in the Best Story Book Ever as told by Patricia Scarry (who is not credited in the Best Story Book version) and of course illustrated by the wonderful Richard Scarry. Unfortunately, I don't think its in print any longer. I may be wrong, but after a quick look on Amazon I didn't see any new copies available. Anyhoo, we all know the story so I'll spare you the details and go straight to the illustrations, my favorite of which involves a cat!

The Boog and I are huge fans of
Frog and Toad. I'm almost certain that you won't believe me when I tell you that I was never acquainted with the amphibious duo, and was almost destined to never cross paths with the
Lobel classics, if not for a Curious George
VHS tape we picked up at the library resale shop. We actually sat down to read Frog and Toad Are friends, me never having heard of it, and The Boog knew it practically verbatim! It stumped me for quite a few days until she popped in the video. It's entirely
claymation and completely mesmerising.
Imagine my Surprise when I heard that there is a
movie in the works by none other than the Jim Henson Company. Perhaps Kermit is a bit green with jealousy.....

Today is, Author/Illustrator, Maurice Sendak's Birthday. As you may know, Mr. Sendak has passed on. I'd like to share a few of Sendak's Stories which are featured in the Scholastic Video Collection, Where The Wild Things Are and Other Maurice Sendak Stories. I have had the VHS version since I was about 9 years old and now my daughter watches it. If you're a Sendak fan, it's worth checking out.

The Sesame Street StorybookThe Magic Apple
Verse Adaptation by Albert G. Miller
Illustrated by Kelly Oechsli
1971
There was once a simple far boy, poor but honest as the dickens, and he worked from dawn to midnight, pitching hay and feeding chickens.
"I am poor and I am honest," said the farm boy, "but it's rough working every day till midnight pitching hay and other stuff."
Thought the poor but honest farm boy, as he leaned upon his rake,
"if I had one wish to wish for, There is only one I'd make. I would wish the trade this barnyard and this yucchy farm-boy life, for a dandy golden palace and a princess for a wife."
He was sound asleep one morning underneath an apple tree, when he heard a great explosion that was loud as it could be. BOOM! A lady stood beside him, saying, "Hello there, young fella. I'm your handy fairy god-ma, like the one in Cinderella."
Pointing upward in the tree, the fairy answered,"If you pick that magic apple what you wish will come to be."
Then there came a loud explosion, and before her godson spoke, she had vanished very quickly in a cloud of purple smoke."I can't reach that magic apple," said the farm boy. "Not at all."
So he grabbed the tree ans shook it, but the apple wouldn't fall.Then he got so tired from shaking that he tumbled in a heap underneath the magic apple, where he promptly fell asleepThen his snoring shook the tree trunk from he bottom to the top and the rosy magic apple fell into his mouth- KER-PLOP!"Glugga-mugga," said the farm boy."Argha-bargha, google-gapple."

There was once a simple far boy, poor but honest as the dickens, and he worked from dawn to midnight, pitching hay and feeding chickens.
"I am poor and I am honest," said the farm boy, "but it's rough working every day till midnight pitching hay and other stuff."
Thought the poor but honest farm boy, as he leaned upon his rake,
"if I had one wish to wish for, There is only one I'd make. I would wish the trade this barnyard and this yucchy farm-boy life, for a dandy golden palace and a princess for a wife."

But you couldn't understand him 'cause his mouth was full of apple.
To make a long story short, a king shows up and, as luck would have it, he had been looking fro a farm boy since the spring who possessed a magic apple. He invites the farm boy to move into his palace and marry his daughter. He even sweetens the pot by offering him his own apartment with a stove and running water! Well, how can the farm boy resist an offer like that?
The princess didn't look exactly like the princess of his dreams, but a small oversight compared to a life full of banana milkshakes and rubber duckies.

Denver, Colorado non-for-profit literacy group,
Burning Through Pages, has introduced a series of well designed posters designed to get parents and kids excited about reading. The poster, shown above, has received 10,710 likes and 9,389 shares on
Facebook, since it's launch on April 24th.
"Burning Through Pages Inc. has one goal and one goal only:
To inspire a love of reading in today's youth by recommending, donating, and discussing books."
Reading time with The Boog is something that is extremely important to me. When I was a little girl, reading wasn't a priority in my household. It wasn't until my most favorite aunt enrolled me in an I Can Read Program that I became infatuated with books. I took my little tote full of books with me everywhere the entire summer! Television has all the components laid out for you, on the other hand, a book challenges you to make the story your own. These posters reflect that philosophy. :)
The posters can be purchase

I watched a documentary, directed by
Spike Jonze, entitled "
Tell Them Anything You Want" in which Sendak divulges an obsession with death stemming from early experiences with the Holocaust, the Depression and his exposure to images of the
Lindberg baby. The latter of which inspired the writing of this book and features his actual Sealyham Terrier, Jennie. It was made into a
Motion Picture starring
Meryl Streep as the voice of Jennie.
The beginning of this book opens on the life of Jennie. Jennie is no ordinary dog. She is destined for greater things. She just doesn't know what she seeks.....
The images above are essentially the first part of the story. As you can see the Baby meets a terrible demise by the hands of the lion..... Jennie travels on and stars in a play loosely based on her exploits... I don't want to give too much away, you'll have to dig up a copy and experience the story first hand. All I can say for certain is this, this book is on the existential side.

If You Were Born a KittenBy
Marion Dane BauerIllustrated by JoEllen McAllister Stammen
1997
A very quaint book for a nature loving child. The Boog loves nature and science books at the moment so I thought I'd take advantage of the sunny weather and post from outside today. Don't let the cover fool you, this features several mommy and baby pairings.... Enjoy!
