The other letters have to make a decision ASAP. Z is too sleepy and Y asks way too many questions. Thankfully, O rolls in to try and save the day. Now E can rost up and got bottor . . . as long as ovorybody follows the rulos.

Farmyard Alphabet

By Dahlov Ipcar

Reading Level: Ages 0 – 4

Board book: 18 pages

Publisher: Islandport Press (December 3, 2010)

Source: Publisher

Fans of illustrator Dahlov Ipcar will be pleased to see that Islandport Press has recently published her newest book, Dahlov Ipcar’s Farmyard Alphabet.  In this new board book, Ipcar pairs charming depictions of farm life with a gentle rhyming text to take you from A to Z.  Illustrations selected from her forty year career give the book a classic vintage feel.  Islandport Press has also recently reissued many of the most beloved Ipcar books. The Calico Jungle, Hardscrabble Harvest, Cat in the Night, My Wonderful Christmas Tree and The Little Fisherman are all back in print.

Ipcar, 93, has published over thirty children’s books in her long career and her artwork is in the permanent collections of several national museums and adorns the walls of public buildings.  Last year, she was honored with the prestigious President’s Award from the New England Independent Booksellers Association.  She joins Robert McCloskey as the only other children’s book author/illustrator to have received this award.

3. The Children's Book Review Turns One

Have you ever heard the expression: time flies when you are having fun? Sure you have. It's an expression that certainly rings true for the Children's Book Review. March 18 marked our first anniversary, and so I thought I would share with you some of our highlights.

  • In fall 2008, The Children's Book Review was selected for inclusion in the American Library Association's Great Web Sites for Kids. Thank you to the ALSC’s GWS Committee members who voted for us.
  • All of the author interviews were so much fun, but making my first podcast from my interview with Emily Gravett was a gratifying moment -- click here to check it out. Click here to read the interviews from the following fabulous authors: Graeme Base, Bonny Becker, Tomie dePaolo, Deborah Diesen, Bobbie Hinman, Ingrid Law, Jon Scieszka, David Shannon, and Eric Wight.
  • Growing my team from me to three, with two enthusiastic book lovers. The first addition was Luisa LaFleur. Her specialty is reviewing bilingual books for "budding linguists". Our latest induction is Amanda Lynch -- an English major, book selling (and lover) extraordinaire -- stay tuned for an official introduction.
