Barasch, Lynne. The Reluctant Flower Girl. HarperCollins Childrenâs Books, 2001, 31 pp. (k-3).
April is upset and unhappy. For all of her life, her big sister has been her best friend. They have skated, ridden bikes, and shared sweet bedtime treats. And now Annabel is going to marry her boyfriend, Harold. April is going to be the flower girl; she has even helped Annabel choose her wedding dress, but she is still very unhappy and even angry about losing her best friend. April has tried to discourage Harold from marrying her sister, but nothing seems to workâand now the wedding is taking place. Barasch manages to combine humor with sensitive perception in both the narrative and the delightful illustrations. Children will thoroughly enjoy the moments of suspense at the wedding when April has to decide whether she will let something happen that will delay the ceremony. A warm, lovable story.
Bemelmans, Ludwig. Madeline. Illus. by author. Viking Childrenâs Books, 1993 (1939), 64 pp. (k-3).
Clever, humorous drawings and a brief, sprightly story in rhyme characterize this and the other books in the Madeline series of stories that have become modern classics. Little Madeline and eleven other small girls live in a vine-covered house in Paris under the tender care of the devoted Miss Clavel. Madeline is the one to whom things always seem to happen. In this book she awakens in the night with appendicitis. In others of the series, Madeline launches into various endeavors, and somehow whatever she undertakes turns into more than was expected. The stories are full of warmth and kindness, as well as madcap adventures.
Best, Cari. Red Light, Green Light, Mama and Me. Illus. by Niki Daly. Orchard Books, 1995, 29 pp. (ps-1).
Lizzie is doing something very different today; her grandma has the flu, and so for the first time, Lizzie is going to work with her mother. All through the dayâhurrying to the subway, riding the train, meeting Mamaâs âwork familyâ in the childrenâs department of the big Downtown Public Libraryâthere is an underlying sense of closeness and stability in the relationship between Lizzie and her mother. Young readers will enjoy the warmth and joyousness of the day, and some will find a special sense of reassuranceâeven if Mama is usually away at work each day, they can share that part of life as well. Whatever the circumstances, itâs âMama and meâ with love and understanding. The lovable illustrations perfectly complement this sensitively written story.
Blades, Ann. Mary of Mile 18. Illus. by author. Tundra Books, 1996 (1971), 38 pp. (1-4).
This simply written, beautifully illustrated story is set in a homesteadersâ small farming community in northern British Columbia. Life there is almost as rugged as it was for the pioneers of past centuries: no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no phones or televisionâand winters that last for seven months of the year. Mary, one of the Fehr familyâs five children, finds a part-wolf pup and longs to keep him in spite of the strictly enforced rule, âOur animals must work for us or give us food.
