It has a similar moral tale to Dr Seuss books too - celebrating difference. He is refused and in arguing his case on why he should be allowed there he changes his spot colours. The story is about "Spot", who wants to live in the zoo. Interestingly, when we read the book again the other night it also reminded me of Herve Tullet's books, which play on colours and shapes. But while there are similarities between the way they write, and the style of illustrations, they are different authors. I had to do a little research about the author, Robert Lopshire as I thought he might have been a former or ghost name for Theodor Seuss Geisel, the man behind the Dr Seuss books. If you enjoy Dr Seuss books, you'll probably enjoy this book too. He enjoyed it and now it's the three-year-old's turn to be entertained by the story and playful rhyming words. It was actually a well-loved hand-me-down. Put Me In The Zoo is a fun book that our son was given as a gift a few years ago.

But young Joseph Charnetski was bound by an ancient oath to protect the jewel at all costs. Now a murderous Tartar chief is bent on possessing it. There was something about the Great Tarnov Crystal.Wise men spoke of it in hushed tones. Today, The Trumpeter of Krakow is an absorbing and dramatic as when it was first published in 1928. Kelly's Newbery Award winner has brought the color and romance of ancient times to young readers. In this award winning novel for young readers, Kelly skillfully combines a dangerous conspiracy, hatched among the Tatars occupying the steppelands to the east with an equally dangerous attempt to sieze power by an unscrupulous alchemist. During this tumultuous period, enlightenment and superstition could occupy the thinking of a single person. Poland, like much of 15th century Europe, was in the throws of the revolutions brought about by the Renaissance.

My daughter color-coded the hardbacks and behind them are ALL my paperbacks, alphabetized by author! I work in the living room a lot - it gives me inspiration to be surrounded by my book collection. I used to work all the time in my office, but then my husband started working from home and I kind of got kicked out! Now, I roam the house and it annoys my family because I’ll leave behind artifacts of my work - loose papers, books, pens, manuscripts… it’s almost as if I’m marking my territory (Don’t get in my SPACE!). Right now, I move around in my house a lot. But that doesn’t really work in the grand scheme of things. I really like going to interesting local coffee shops and have often thought about finding a new place each day to write. For me, writing is fluid and I move around a lot in the spaces I choose in which to write. It's a lovely scene showing the older cousins hanging out in an old truck tyre under a shady palm. “We are too big now for playing,” says Clarity. The teenage girls are too busy with their phones. She persistently goes from one family member to another, hoping someone will join her. No wonder she looks so happy – she’s on a family day trip to the beach! But it’s not any ordinary beach. In the middle of them all, smiling and waving at the reader, is the irrepressible Anna Hibiscus. The title page zooms in closer to a family travelling on a motorboat. A bus travels between the sky-rise buildings, and a jet passes overhead. A cityscape – complete with colourful billboards, satellite dishes and fire escapes – spans the front endpapers and reaches right up to the seashore. Instead, it reflects modern Africa (Atinuke was born and grew up in Nigeria). There’s not a mud hut, stretch of savannah or giraffe in sight. It challenges preconceptions of life in Africa.Ītinuke and Tobias's portrayal of Africa is striking.

Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled a cursed American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward.įor Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages - and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. They start sympathetic enough, and at some point, they just lose it. And then, often the heroine is pretty unlikable because… because, that’s why. I have two other smaller problems as well: they all seem to focus way too much on the buildup towards the Sepoy Rebellion, often devoting dozens of pages to dialogue in which the enlightened and pro-native character lays out his wise political advice that contrasts with the narrow-minded stupidity of the rest of his caste. Novel X is inferior even if by the same author, Novel Y is too much of a wannabe and a poorer copy at that, Novel Z has a character that smells of rip-off… That has resulted in my experience reading all the other books with the same setting less enjoyable in some way. I have a big problem with novels set in colonial India: they all have to measure up, whether I will it or no, to the arch-famous “The Far Pavilions,” that by virtue of reading it first as much as its author’s craftiness, is the golden standard for me personally.
