The Hero of Little Street Gregory Rogers (Allen & Unwin)Greg Rogers creates great books ... and this is another!
This wonderfully illustrated wordless title is the third title in his BOY BEAR series. This time the boy, escaping from a gang of bullies winds up in the national gallery in London and gets transported back in time as one of the famous art works comes to life when the little dog in van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait escapes and with the boy leaps into a painting by Vermeer an they are back in 17th century Holland!! But danger dwells here too!
Characters from the previous titles dwell in these pages too. There is much to look for in the illustrations. Terrific for schools looking into history and art!
Captain Congo and the Crocodile King Ruth Starke & Greg Holfield (Working Title Press)This graphic picture book is fun! With spies, mysteries, adventurers, and scorpions, it should really get the boys hooked!
It tells of the adventures of two adventurers who are sent by the Agency on missions ... this time they are sent to rescue a lost anthropologist searching for the legendary Treasure House of the Queen of Sheba. Will they find the missing professor? Will they achieve their goal? What mysteries and treasures will crocodile heads reveal? And like all good rescuers they have special 'tools' to help them in emergency situations!
This title is the first in a new series - really good story line and terrific illustrations that really have an adventurer feel about them!
Mummies are Amazing Catriona Hoy & Annie White (Lothian)Why are mummies amazing? Here is one book that tells you why?
They make snakes out of stockings, mermaids out of sand, solving splinter problems and fixing things and a whole lot more!
Fun illustrations accompany the fun text.
Just in time for Mother's Day!
