Quentin Blake is an internationally beloved illustrator and author, renowned for his collaborations with writers such as Roald Dahl and David Walliams as well as his own creations. Emanuele Luzzati (1921-2007) was an Italian painter, set designer, illustrator, potter, and author. He collaborated with many celebrated film directors, and was nominated for Academy Awards for two of his short films, La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) (1965) and Pulcinella (1973). John Yeoman was for many years Head of English at the French Lycee in London. His collaboration with Quentin Blake began in 1960, and has resulted in a long list of successful children's books.
K-Gr 2—Reminiscent of the work of Edward Lear, this nonsense poem, translated from the original Italian, is a silly and enjoyable read-aloud. It has a flowing rhythm and scans perfectly, and the repeated refrain, "With a bop and a bip and a bip and a bop/A wardrobe with three little owls on the top," is fun to read. The tale covers from one Christmas to another and tells of the escapades of three young birds with a penchant for adventure. They play dress up, go fishing in a barrel, travel the world (having breakfast in England and tea in China), and return with a wonderful surprise for everyone. Blake's whimsical pen and ink and watercolor pictures are filled with color and movement as the three silly birds perform their antics. It's a hoot.—Maryann H. Owen, Children's Literature Specialist, Mt. Pleasant, WI
