Review:
A house truly becomes a home when there's someone to share it with. Olaf the elephant and his best buddy Venus the mouse fill a house with happiness, as they eat cheese, splash in the tub, and snuggle up to sleep.
About the Author:
The beauty of Pierre Pratt's series for babies and preschoolers is its simplicity. Young readers can make up the story as they go along or just enjoy the lovely illustrations and one-word pages. In Home, Olaf seems lonely in his armchair ("chair") until he picks up the phone ("telephone") to call his friend Venus, who quickly shows up ("door"). Younger readers will love the bright, grainy colors and the unlikely friendship between an elephant and a mouse. Slightly older kids will practice their early reading skills and can elaborate on the story they see in the pictures. The Very Busy Life of Olaf and Venus series includes Park, Shopping, and Car. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter
Pierre Pratt’s unique style makes his work immediately recognizable. Always fascinated by illustrations, he began creating comic strips as a teenager and has since found a career in creating artwork for magazines and advertisements. His true love, however, is illustrating children's books, as it enables him to communicate in a more "personal and privileged way directly with children." Pierre Pratt has won numerous awards for his illustrations, including the Governor General’s Award in Canada, the UNICEF Award at the Bologna Book Fair, and the Mr. Christie Award. He currently makes his home in Montreal.
