Summary: G is for Genius, and Valorie Fisher is one.
Review: Hurray. This book is wonderful. It's inventive and original. Why haven't I heard of this Valorie Fisher before? I see she has two other books? How does she do it? I wish they made postcards of these great photographs, they are so cool and intricately designed. I'd send them to everybody I know. My kids looked at the pages for the longest time--which is a miracle. I am going to buy Fisher's My Big Brother and My Big Sister right now.

Summary: Will grow with your child
Review: My 20-month old daughter considers this her very favorite book in the world. It's so inventive and funny, though, I've sent it off to children from ages 1 month to 60 years old, just to tickle their funny bones. It straddles the line of being both a wonderful learning tool and a wonderful flight of fancy. One more note - it has the most beautiful color palette! Just a lovely object to look at, really.

Summary: Worthy of a Caldecott Medal
Review: This is an absolute gem of a book, one of the most delightful and imaginative I've seen in a long time. I can't imagine a child who wouldn't love it, or an adult for that matter. My only problem is, I wish I'd thought to create it myself, being a closet wannabe children's book illustrator myself. Valorie Fisher sounds like someone I'd love to have for a friend, but will happily settle for just owning her book. Bravo!
