      "Tall tales this enjoyable are hard to find. . . . Children will revel in the descriptive language. . . and exaggerated metaphors and similes. Gross visual and verbal jokes about ('S'not the point'). The oil-rendered paintings are spot-on renditions of the Wild West and will transport the audience to the Big Sky Country of the 1860s. Close-ups of faces are larger than life. Readers will return to this one again and again to catch all of the humor and nuances of both the text and illustrations. A strong first purchase that is suited to independent reading and sharing aloud."

      The Toughest Cowboy was featured on NBC's hit Television show, Medium, in an episode entitled "The Other Side Of the Tracks", aired 3/14/05

    • Panda and Polar Bear (Junior Library Guild Selection)

      Panda and Polar Bear (Junior Library Guild Selection)

      by Matthew Baek
      Title: Panda and Polar Bear
      Author: author
      Genre: Children's Book
      Artist: Matthew Baek
      Description: PreSchool-Grade 1–In a mysterious location, pandas live at the base of a tall cliff, while polar bears reside at the top, so they never meet. Then a curious polar bear cub falls off the edge into a mud puddle, giving him pandalike markings. He meets a splotchy cub and they enjoy playing together, until the polar bear's muddy spots are washed off after a swim. The polar bear worries that the bear, which he learns is a panda, will not want to be friends now that their differences are known. To the contrary, the young panda is fascinated by the polar bear's stories of snow and, as he describes his habitat, he grows homesick. Working together, the two build a ladder out of bamboo, allowing each to visit the other's home, which readers learn on the last spread is in a zoo. The muted watercolors of spot art and spreads perfectly evoke the playful energy of the young animals in their respective environs. The lesson that we can get along despite our differences is presented in an age-appropriate and lighthearted manner in this simple and delightful tale.–Rachel G. Payne, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
