Book Description
Simon finds a beautiful feather and decides to return it to the bird who lost it. But which one? It belongs to none he asks: not the chicken, the peacock, the dove, or the seagull, who each give him one of their own feathers. When Simon finds the owner of the first beautiful feather, he finds the ones he received from the other birds come in handy.

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-Alex has a magnificent obsession and it's hockey. Desperate for equipment, he fashions a makeshift outfit from household items. In his excitement, he begins to play a game in his room and breaks a window. Sufficiently remorseful, he earns money to replace it by selling orange juice. In addition to paying for damages, this successful entrepreneurial endeavor makes him realize he can also earn money to finance some new, real equipment. Alex's behavior mimics the creativity and doggedness of a determined child and his story is told in short sentences that are manageable for beginning chapter-book readers. While some of the Canadian spelling may puzzle children (e.g., neighbour), it will not hinder their understanding of the story. Bright watercolor-and-pen cartoon illustrations on every page add... |

PreSchool-Grade 3-Greg is so shy that he hates anything red since it reminds him of the agony of blushing. When his parents let him get a goldfish, he surprises himself by choosing a red one, which he names Shy Guy. At first, silence prevails between the boy and his pet, but once the first words (Greg's) and bubbles (Shy Guy's) are expressed, the two are inseparable. Greg takes his friend on a tour of his room and house, and then ventures outside with him. Kids at the playground and at school take a shine to the fish, and Greg discovers that he has something worth talking about, overcoming his bashfulness to become confident and popular. Pef uses darker colors for the child's shy days and depicts large, toothy adults looming over him. By the end of the story, a happy Greg, fishbowl under his arm, is leading... |

From Publishers Weekly
"In the time of then and once, of yet and still and will be, a boy lived deep in the canyons of the city," opens Tibo's (the Simon picture-book series) labored, open-ended fantasy. Barefoot and ragged, the homeless, solitary Cowboy Kid plays in a city dump, riding a "horse" made from a rusty oil drum and a mop. One day the lad awakens "on the other side of sleep" (Has he died?) to find a golden horse, which carries the boy through the sky. Rocking horses, horse statues and carousel horses break away and follow the flying duo. When the animals touch down and ride through "grand museums," horses leap out of paintings to run with them. Rising up "beyond the borders of time," the horses are "all free together in one great wild race under the pale, white moon." First-time illustrator Kapas's paintings look frozen,... |

From Publishers Weekly
Simon loves to count, so when the first snow comes, he runs outside. But he meets the uncountable. Snowflakes fly about and come down too fast for counting. A snowman says there are as many snowflakes as there are stars in the sky, so Simon gets a ladder and plucks down stars to fill his toboggan. But the stars move across the sky, and elude him, too. The moon tells him there are as many stars in the sky as there are lights in the city. He takes his sled downhill to the city and tries counting lights, but they wink on and off. At last he goes to the forest to meet his friends (deer, rabbit, birds are pictured, and Simon bears gifts. A decked tree shines.) "Some things I can count," he concludes, and the poetic implication is that he can "count on" friends. It's an affecting theme of trust, complemented by... |
