Review:
Poppleton the pig knows how to make the most of a season's offerings. In three short, charming chapters, Poppleton deals with fallen icicles, makes a bust of his llama friend's head, and enjoys a very happy surprise birthday party. Young readers will giggle at the changing expressions on the characters' faces as they carry on their misadventures and comedies of errors.
About the Author:
The eighth title in Cynthia Rylant and Mark Teague's popular Poppleton series (Poppleton in Spring, Poppleton Has Fun, etc.) will be received with open arms by the many fans of the portly porker. An excellent way for kids to move into early chapter books, the series features simple language, funny, easy to follow vignettes, and appealing watercolor illustrations of Poppleton and his motley crew of friends (Patrick the finch, Cherry Sue the llama, Hudson the mouse... you get the picture). (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
As a child in West Virginia, Cynthia Rylant never dreamed of becoming a writer. In her free time, she devoured Archie comic books and paperback romances and enjoyed the outdoors. But after taking one college English class, she was, “hooked on great writing... I didn’t know about this part of me until I went to college-didn’t know I loved beautiful stories.” And one night, inspired by the Southern writer James Agee, she sat down and wrote When I Was Young in the Mountains. Named a Caldecott Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, it was an instant success.
Since that night, Rylant hasn’t stopped creating wonderful books. Her stories explore friendship, love, grief, and other mysteries, and often draw on her memories of growing up in Appalachia. “I get a lot of personal gratification thinking of those people who don’t get any attention in the world and making them really valuable in my fiction-making them absolutely shine with their beauty.”
She lives with her many pets in the Pacific Northwest.
Mark Teague is an award-winning children's book author and illustrator whose books include the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling How Do Dinosaurs... series, the LaRue series, FIREHOUSE!, FUNNY FARM, and many other humorous picture books. Mark lives in New York state with his wife and their two daughters.
