CALIFORNIA, A SKETCHBOOK
Cooper, Elisha
2000 41089 Artist and writer Elisha Cooper is new to California, which is why he traveled up and down the state to acquaint himself with it. Along the way he visited numerous locales and encountered dozens of characters that typify the diviersity and rich eccentricity that somehow only the Golden State can accommodate. With an observant eye, he made his way from Eureka to Joshua Tree, Yosemite to Maverick's, spending time with farmers, firemen, water delivery people, and everyone in between. Narrated in Cooper's memorably waggish prose, this sketchbook takes a surprisingly intimate look at the nation's most populous state fleshed out in an evocative, breezy wash of watercolor. Beyond Los Angeles and San Francisco, the two metropolises as different as night and day, California's byways and backroads are amply represened to provide a full detailed picture. For native and visitor alike, California is an idiosycratic tribute to the state that anchors the West and inspires dreamers from around the world. Illustrated in watercolor, this sketchbook takes an intimate look at California, with images and narration following Cooper up and down the state as he encounters surfers, Hollywood agents, firefighters, rappers, the Mayor of Oakland, archeologists, gardeners, and a host of other real-life characters. The book is organized by locale; in place of a table of contents, there is a map. Chronicle Books LLC 0-8118-2697-X / 9780811826976

ICE CREAM
Cooper, Elisha
2002 8696 A step-by-step exploration of how ice cream is made, beginning with the healthy foods cows eat to produce good milk, and ending with a carton of frozen treat. FROM THE PUBLISHER What some call a process, this observant author-artist calls pure poetry. And readers of all ages will, too, when they read and see (and almost taste!) Ice Cream-a picture book about how ice cream is made. It begins with the cow?and it takes farmers and milking machines, scientists and recipes, mixing thanks and giant freezers, even special ice cream tasters. But it all comes together in a symphony of sweetness?and don't forget the satisfied stomachs! Hooray for Elisha Cooper-and long may he wonder about, and observe and sketch, the world around us. Also includes a glossary of terms. About the Author: Elisha Cooper, author-artist of several picture books, lives in Berkeley, CA. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Cooper's (Ballpark; Dance!) deliciously diverting book tackles a subject of intrinsic appeal to kids. The author gives the scoop on ice-cream making and anticipates all of their questions, answering them with, well, good humor and with many specifics that may surprise even the most ardent aficionados. Those who scream for ice cream may be astounded by the array of machines involved, from the milking machine in the barn, to the apparatus in the milk co-op that condenses the milk, to the ice-cream factory's numerous contraptions, including one that shapes flat pieces of cardboard into rounded containers of various sizes. Cooper's description of an enormous ice-cream mixing machine with multiple tanks exhibits a flair for language that appeals to multiple senses: "It is a steel, piston-pumping, cream-dripping, gadget-whirring, water-spraying, pipe-rattling, chocolate-leaking animal." Similarly, readers can hear the sounds in the barn at milking time: "The fump, fump of the suction cups; the chug, chug, chug of milk spurting through plastic tubes." Cooper's small-scale art precisely follows each step of the process as type sashays across the spreads in inventive configurations, and panoramic views show the delivery truck transporting this divine bovine product through town and country. Ages 4-up. (Apr.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Children's Literature - Emily Cook Ever wonder how ice cream gets from "moo to you?" Elisha Cooper did. So he went and found out, and this book is the result. Readers will be amazed as to the extensive process milk goes through to become the delectable treat we all know and love as ice cream. I certainly underestimated the process. From the farm where the cow lives, to the farmer that expresses her milk, to the long road the milk then travels from the milk co-op to the ice creamery, it is quite a process. Not only is the milk made into ice cream, it is also, as you would assume, made into table milk, cream and condensed milk. It then gets loaded into the appropriate truck. All three types of milk go into the making of ice cream. Once the milk makes it to the ice creamery, other trucks arrive loaded with toppings, containers, and other ingredients needed to pull it all together. Once the pre-printed cartons are rolled and folded, and after the ice cream is processed through the ice cream machine, these two shall meet. But not before the computer program tells the machine to dump in the various milks, creams, sugars, vanilla or chocolate. Then the whole concoction is frozen into ice cream before it gets dumped into the hopper where all the goodies are added¾chocolate chunks, marshmallows, you name it. This is where ice cream and container finally join and are shipped out to grocery stores for ice cream lovers everywhere to enjoy. Older children will enjoy learning how this process works, however, youngsters will find it hard to stay attentive as the cute, abstract illustrations are not enough to fully engage their constantly busy little minds. 2002, Greenwillow Books, School Library Journal K-Gr 3-A step-by-step description of how ice cream is made, be HarperCollins Publishers 0-06-001423-7 / 9780060014230
