Chloe & the Lion

Illustrated by: Adam Rex
Age Level: 6-9
The author introduces himself as the author, the book's illustrator, and the main character, Chloe, as the book opens. The conflict between author and illustrator has a significant impact on Chloe's book adventure in this funny, sophisticated presentation. As the author and illustrator pop in and out, style of illustration and text is varied for maximum effect.

Chloe and the Lion

Illustrated by: Adam Rex
Age Level: 3-6
The author and illustrator insert themselves at the start of the story about Chloe and a lion (or is it a dragon?). The stage becomes the illustrated platform for the storytelling of Chloe's heroic and very funny saga revealed in clearly different styles of art to denote the different voices.

Extra Yarn

Illustrated by: John Klassen
Age Level: 3-6
Annabelle finds a box with colorful yarn from which she makes sweater for all, adding color and life to a dull landscape. The box is empty when stolen by a greedy man but is yarn-filled when it returns to Annabelle. Textured pictures and understated text on open pages tell an engaging yarn.
