About the Author:
From Publishers Weekly:
Donald Crews is the renowned creator of many celebrated children's books, including the Caldecott Honor Books Freight Train and Truck. He and his wife, Ann Jonas, live in New York's Hudson River Valley.
Donald Crews es el renombrado autor de dos libros merecedores del premio Caldecott, Tren de carga (Freight Train) y School Bus. Vive con su esposa, Ann Jonas, cerca del Río Hudson, en Nueva York.
An empty wooden box becomes a treasure trove of mementos in this deceptively simple picture book. The left page of each spread features a cumulative list of the months of the year, which grows longer as the book progresses. An unseen narrator names the seasonally appropriate items he will place in the box--one for each successive month. The result is a rainbow jumble, consisting of such things as a wild daisy from June, a red foil heart from February and a turkey's wishbone from November. Concepts of color identification, the seasons, counting, and spelling are cleverly--and subtly--woven into Crews's ( Bigmama's ; Freight Train ) eye-catching page designs. Hand-tinted photographs of the box and its contents have a grainy, almost palpable texture. This airy volume might also serve as encouragement for budding storytellers and scrapbook compilers. Ages 3-up.
