Samantha is the author of six children's picture books. "Alphabet Trucks," "Alphabet Trains," and "Alphabet Boats" (illustrated by Ryan O'Rourke) are rhyming alphabet books about 26 different vehicles from A to Z.
"The Cazuela That the Farm Maiden Stirred" - illustrated by Rafael López - received the 2012 Pura Belpré Illustration Honor. Its companion book, "The Piñata That The Farm Maiden Hung" is illustrated by Sebastià Serra. "Before You Were Here, Mi Amor" is illustrated by Santiago Cohen.
PreS-Gr 1—A cheerful rhyming text and painterly illustrations created in Adobe Photoshop offer young readers a different train for each letter of the alphabet. The simple language is straightforward without letting the rhyme become cloying: "G is for Glacier Express,/a scenic, alpine glide./H is for Hurricane Turn./Wave a flag to catch a ride." Each train is featured on its own page, allowing the page turns to reveal the next type of train. The book concludes with a spread with factual information on each of the trains depicted, further enhancing the book's appeal to train enthusiasts. VERDICT Pair this with Donald Crews's Freight Train (Greenwillow, 1978) and Margaret Wise Brown's Two Little Trains (HarperCollins, 2001) illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon, for a high-speed storytime.—Lisa Kropp, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY
Tear the ticket. Load the freight. Sound the whistle. Raise the gate. Clank! Chug-chug! Whoosh! Alphabet trains.
