› Find signed collectible books: 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'
"I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."
So begin the trials and tribulations of the irascible Alexander, who has been earning the sympathy of readers since 1972. People of all ages have terrible, horrible days, and Alexander offers us the cranky commiseration we crave as well as a reminder that things may not be all that bad. As Alexander's day progresses, he faces a barrage of bummers worthy of a country- western song: getting smushed in the middle seat of the car, a dessertless lunch sack, a cavity at the dentist's office, stripeless sneakers, witnessing kissing on television, and being forced to sleep in railroad-train pajamas. He resolves several times to move to Australia.
Judith Viorst flawlessly and humorously captures a child's testy temperament, rendering Alexander sympathetic rather than whiny. Our hero's gum-styled hair and peevish countenance are artfully depicted by Ray Cruz's illustrations. An ALA Notable Book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a great antidote to bad days everywhere, sure to put a smile on even the crabbiest of faces. (Ages 5 to 9) [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Millions of Cats'
Millions of Cats is a wonderful tale of vanity versus humility, written and illustrated by the singular Wanda Gag. An old man and his wife decide to get a cat, so the old man goes out in search of the prettiest cat of all. When he is forced to choose from "hundreds, thousands, millions and billions and trillions" of cats, he (naturally) brings them all home. When the wife points out their inability to support the legion of felines, it is left to the cats to decide who among them is the prettiest. Anyone who has ever owned more than a single cat can tell you what happens next.
Gag's simple, appealing black ink drawings are perfect for the story, somehow capturing at least the idea of millions of cats in a single page. Repeated lines and the sing-song title refrain make this a read-aloud natural.(Ages 4 to 8) [via]

Arriving in the mystical polar city, the boy is thunderstruck when Santa chooses him to be the recipient of the very first gift of Christmas. Shyly, the boy asks for his true heart's desire--one silver bell from the harness of Santa's reindeer. His wish is granted, and the train begins its return trip. But alas! The boy has a hole in his pocket, and the cherished sleigh bell is lost... forever?
Author-illustrator Van Allsburg, who also received the Caldecott Medal for Jumanji and a Caldecott Honor for The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, is a creative talent beyond compare.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Snowy Day'
The Snowy Day, a 1963 Caldecott Medal winner, is the simple tale of a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during the night. Keats's illustrations, using cut-outs, watercolors, and collage, are strikingly beautiful in their understated color and composition. The tranquil story mirrors the calm presence of the paintings, and both exude the silence of a freshly snow-covered landscape. The little boy celebrates the snow-draped city with a day of humble adventures--experimenting with footprints, knocking snow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save a snowball for the next day. Awakening to a winter wonderland is an ageless, ever-magical experience, and one made nearly visceral by Keats's gentle tribute.
The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, but also for its importance as a trailblazer. According to Horn Book magazine, The Snowy Day was "the very first full-color picture book to feature a small black hero"--yet another reason to add this classic to your shelves. It's as unique and special as a snowflake. [via]

"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. More than 12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original, full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony has been translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniature edition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for small hands to hold and flip through the pictures. Despite its diminished state, the book is complete in every detail, following the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage--until he is really fat and has a stomachache. And no doubt you know what happens next! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popular favorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun gift package for caterpillar fans.

Where the Wild Things Are is one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up. If you disagree, then it's been too long since you've attended a wild rumpus. Max dons his wolf suit in pursuit of some mischief and gets sent to bed without supper. Fortuitously, a forest grows in his room, allowing his wild rampage to continue unimpaired. Sendak's color illustrations (perhaps his finest) are beautiful, and each turn of the page brings the discovery of a new wonder.
The wild things--with their mismatched parts and giant eyes--manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary; at times they're downright hilarious. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences--one of his trademarks--lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination.
This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home. [via]

Eric Carles Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt gehört mit Sicherheit zu den ersten Bilderbüchern, die im Kinderzimmer auf dem Regal Einzug halten und die sich seit Jahren ungebrochener Beliebtheit bei den kleinen Lesern erfreuen, die meistens noch gar nicht selber lesen, sondern nur genußvoll der hemmungslosen Völlerei der kleinen gefräßigen Raupe lauschen.
Wer kennt das nicht, dieses wilde Durcheinander im Bauch, das die kleine Raupe in sich hineinschaufelte. Der Anfang ist noch richtig gesund. "Am Montag fraß sie sich durch einen Apfel. Aber satt war sie noch immer nicht." Am Dienstag müssen es dann schon zwei Birnen sein, am Donnerstag vier Erdbeeren und am Freitag sogar fünf Apfelsinen. Richtig toll ist die Steigerung am Sonnabend. Da langt sie noch einmal richtig zu und jedes Kind zählt mit Begeisterung all die wunderbaren Köstlichkeiten mit, die sich die Raupe gönnt: "Ein Stück Schokoladenkuchen, eine Eiswaffel, eine saure Gurke, eine Scheibe Käse, ein Stück Wurst, einen Lolli, ein Stück Früchtebrot, ein Würstchen, ein Törtchen und ein Stück Melone." Diese Orgie endet nicht mit dem gewohnten Satz: "Aber satt war sie noch immer nicht." Nein, es heißt lapidar: "An diesem Abend hatte sie Bauchschmerzen!"
Jedes Kind hat diese schmerzvolle Erfahrung schon selbst einmal gemacht und kann mitfühlen, wie die arme kleine Raupe jetzt leidet. Aber am nächsten Tag ist wieder alles bestens und die Raupe macht sich nach einem gesunden grünen Blatt daran, sich in ihren Kokon zu verspinnen und alle dürfen gespannt sein auf den prächtigen farbenfrohen Schmetterling, der sich ganz am Ende des Buches in seiner vollen strahlenden Pracht entfaltet.
Eric Carle erobert die Kinderherzen mit seiner ihm eigenen Technik der Collage in kräftigen Farben. Zudem hat er noch so viele Kleinigkeiten in seinem Bilderbuch versteckt, die alle von den Kleinen begeistert aufgenommen werden: Da werden die Wochentage aufgezählt, alle Verse auswendig mitgesprochen, genüßlich in allen Löchern gebohrt, die die Raupe gefressen hat, und zum guten Schluß weiß jedes Kind, daß aus so einer unscheinbaren grünen Raupe ein wunderschöner Schmetterling entsteht. Welches Bilderbuch bietet eine solche Fülle an Möglichkeiten? --Manuela Haselberger [via]
