DANDELIONS Bunting, Eve
San Diego Harcourt Children's Books 1995 0-15-200050-X / 9780152000509 Hardcover As New
Zoe and her family find strength in each other as they make a new home in the Nebraska territory. FROM THE PUBLISHER Embarking on a new life, Zoe and her family journey west to the Nebraska Territory in the 1800s. When Zoe and her family arrive at their claim, nothing distinguishes it from the miles and miles of surrounding prairie. Even after they build their soddie, the home can't be seen from any distance. Zoe has never seen Papa so happy or Mama so sad. But when she takes a trip to the small prairie town with Papa, Zoe sees something that might make a difference to their new soddie, and to Mama's life, too. The gouache paintings capture the lonely panorama of the landscape, and the classically painted, sometimes faceless figures give the book a sense of universality. A solid choice for read-alouds, this may also be used with older, reluctant readers or students learning --- published at Sixteen dollars.

With its remarkable illustrations and its affectionate portrait of a migrant family, Eve Bunting's latest book is a jewel. Carlos, his parents, and his sisters visit the family village in Mexico. Mama and Papa are very excited, but the kids don't know what all the fuss is about. If they really love Mexico, what could be the point of leaving for America just for "opportunities"? As they watch their parents with the family, and sneak a peek at the two of them dancing in the moonlight to a song only they can hear, Carlos understands. "They love it here because it's home. They have left home for us." With clarity, warmth, and very few words, Bunting has explained those ever-new American dreamers to yet another generation. From Publishers Weekly "Fiesta-bright" art ignites this "joyous" tale of a Mexican American family's Christmastime trip to the parents' home in Mexico, said. Ages 4-8.

MY RED BALLOON Bunting, Eve
[Honesdale, Penn.] Boyds Mills Press 2005 1-59078-263-1 / 9781590782637 Hardcover As New Condition
From The Critics Children's Literature - Carolyn Mott Ford A young boy anxiously awaits the arrival of his dad from military duty at sea. The boy's excitement is tempered by doubts. Will his dad know him? Will he rush to greet him? It has been a long time and there will be a crowd of people on the dock when the ship comes in. This story, by the author of Smokey Nights is timely and yet timeless because most kids can relate to such worries and fears even at joyful moments. The boy carries a red balloon with WELCOME HOME printed on it and his mom has written to his dad telling him to look for the balloon. As they wait on the dock, the balloon comes loose and, floats upward and the boy's worries intensify. But the balloon drifts up to the ship, welcoming all the sailors home and the boy's dad spots him and rushes to give him a big hug. The watercolor illustrations of a hesitant little boy and a loving family add to the appeal of this story. 2005, Boyds Mills Press, Ages 4 to 8.
