Bee-Man of Orn, The
by Frank
Stockton, illustrated by Maurice
Sendak
"Written at the turn of the century, and then illustrated by Sendak in 1964,
one of my very favorite books is being reissued again! It's about the classic
argument of nature vs. nurture, and nature wins." -- Judy Hamel, The
Children's Corner Bookshop, Spokane, WA
David and the Phoenix
by Edward
Ormondroyd
"Rescued from oblivion by fans from the '50s, David and the Phoenix
has landed, and it is sure to delight readers who discover this charming fantasy.
David discovers a phoenix in his backyard, and brings him all the cookies. In
exchange, David enjoys marvelous adventures as he rides astride the huge bird.
A perfect classroom read-aloud and parent-child book club pick." -- Cheryl
McKeon, Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park, WA
The
Ordinary Princess
by M.M.
Kaye
"Written with an old-fashioned English feel and illustrated with charming
line drawings, this is not your common fairy tale. Kaye has created a thoroughly
enjoyable story about a most unusual girl, a Princess Amy who manages to grow
up quite happily and to show us how wonderful it can be to just be yourself.
Now back in print, this is one of the best fairy tales that I have come across!"
-- Jen Butler-Brown, Grass Roots Books & Music, Corvallis, OR
