Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poemsby: Eliot/Errol Le Cain, T,S.

Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poems
by: Eliot/Errol Le Cain, T,S.

NY, Farrar Straus Giroux, 2nd pr., 1988, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright price-clipped dust jacket. Color illustrations by Errol Le Cain. Previous owner's inscription front fly leaf. Three poems from Eliot's rollicking ode to felines, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, are gloriously and elegantly illustrated by Le Cain. ``Growltiger's Last Stand,'' ``Of the Awefull Battle of the Pekes and Pollicles,'' and ``The Song of the Jellicles'' spring to life with Le Cain's stylish paintings that match and extend each verse of the rich text. Sinister Siamese arranged in triangles represent Growltiger's foe ``armed with toasting forks and cruel carving knives''; chaos reigns as the Pugs and Poms ``Bark bark bark bark/ Bark bark BARK BARK/ Until you can hear them all over the Park''; suave black-and-white cats ``like to practice their airs and graces/ And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.'' The clean typeface and layout make Eliot's poetry take center stage framed by the wonderful illustrations.

The Midnight Ride of Paul Revereby: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow / Christopher Bing (Illust.)

The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
by: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow / Christopher Bing (Illust.)

Hardcover. Brooklyn NY, Handprint, 1st, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover with illustrated boards, 40 pages. n his magnificent interpretation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow s poem, Christopher Bing seamlessly weaves history and imagination into a rich portrait of an American hero. A meticulous researcher, Bing includes material that provides texture to history, maps that follow the British campaign to quell the rebellious citizenry, as well as the patriot s ride into the Massachusetts night of April, 1775. Documents firmly affixed into the book, including the British general s orders to his troops and Revere s own deposition relating the events, give the reader not only a visual experience but a tactile one as well. Far more than a brilliantly presented history lesson, this book represents a tour de force of coherent artistic vision. In an extraordinary series of rich and moody engravings, from the mysteriously shimmering rigging of the British sloop, The Somerset, looming in a moonlit Boston harbor to the taut urgency of a man and his horse galloping at a combustible moment in the American experience, this book illuminates our country s past unlike any other. Small inscription on inside front cover, otherwise clean.

Geisert gives new meaning to the saying "Don't cry over spilt milk." This wordless tale begins when a pig child spills its milk in the house, which is cantilevered on the edge of a river valley. The milk sets off a complex chain reaction that ultimately destroys the home. Miraculously, no one is hurt, and the final scene shows the family together, surrounded by the shambles of their house, smiling at one another in a way that shows their happiness at just being alive.

The Nonsense Show by: Eric Carle

The Nonsense Show
by: Eric Carle

Hardcover. NY, Philomel Books, 1st, 2015, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover in pictorial boards. A TIME Magazine Top 10 Children's Book of 2015! Ducks growing out of bananas? A mouse catching a cat? What's wrong with this book from the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Yes, there is something strange, something funny and even downright preposterous on every page of this book. But its not a mistake - its nonsense! And its also surrealism. Nonsense lies at the heart of many beloved nursery rhymes. Children readily accept odd statements like the cow jumped over the moon and the dish ran away with the spoon. This fanciful bending of reality is also basic to surrealism. In this book, nonsense and surrealism combine to spark creativity and imagination. No dust jacket, clean copy.

Tumble Towerby: Tyler, Anne and Mitra Modarressi

Tumble Tower
by: Tyler, Anne and Mitra Modarressi

Hardcover. NY, Scholastic, 1st, 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, illustrated in color by Mitra Modarressi. In a bright, unclipped dust jacket. The well-known novelist's first children's book is a gently subversive fable celebrating the rewards of disorder. Princess Molly the Messy is deplored by her family: King Clement the Clean, Queen Nellie the Neat, and Prince Thomas the Tidy. Molly's domain is the castle tower, where she keeps the floor comfortably festooned with clothes and the bed is ``lumpy and knobby with half-finished books.'' Her parents are not pleased, but Molly is vindicated when a flood drives the whole family up to her room, where they find dry clothes and leftover food lying everywhere and a cozy bed to share while Molly reads aloud. When the waters recede, she even helps them tidy up downstairs. Without condescension, Tyler presents a child's-eye view of glorious muss in a witty, economical narrative, while--in a fine picture-book debut--Modarressi (Tyler's daughter) details the disarray in angular forms and flat, carefully structured compositions, with expressive, delicately modeled faces adding a subtler dimension to Tyler's message.
