COMMANDER TOAD AND THE DIS-ASTEROID
Yolen, Jane
1985 16846 From School Library Journal Grade 1-3: Yolen treats beginning readers to another episode in the adventuresome life of the lovable Commander Toad. An SOS message which reads, "Help. Help. Beans swell. Beans bad," leads Toad and his crew to the depths of outer space in search of an ailing asteroid. Their journey takes them to a world completely inundated by water. Ultimately he learns that the land is flooded because rains have caused beans to swell and to clog all the drains. Being the natural hero that he is, Toad takes command of the situation and saves the asteroid by deflating all the beans, thereby unclogging the drains. Illustrations accompanying the text alternate between three-color and black-and-white cartoon-style drawings. Independent readers will enjoy Commander Toad's latest adventure. 64 pages. Some shelf wear. Putnam Publishing Group 0-698-20620-7 / 9780698206205

SEA WATCH: A BOOK OF POETRY
Yolen, Jane
1996 30774 ABOUT THE BOOK Sea Watch: A Book of Poetry ANNOTATION A collection of poems describing a variety of sea creatures and their activities. FROM THE PUBLISHER From the pair that brought the acclaimed Bird Watch to nature lovers young and old comes a companion book of 14 poems celebrating the diverse and mysterious life that inhabits the sea. Sea Watch offers an educational and compelling collection, a delight for those who wish to know the magic of the aquatic world. Full color. FROM THE CRITICS Children's Literature - Uma Krishnaswami Poems of the sea inhabit this slim volume as naturally as the denizens of the deep inhabit it. Each poem is about one species, and the collection, remarkably, brings the beauty of diverse watery habitats right into the reader's consciousness. The poems beg to be read aloud. My favorite was "The Crab," skittering sideways into the patient calculations of the sea. Yolen's mastery of words is here, as are Ted Lewin's effervescent images of oceans and bays and tidal pools. School Library Journal Gr 2 UpAnother collaborative effort by this talented author and artist. Yolen, as she did so successfully in Bird Watch (Philomel, 1990), incorporates many of the characteristics of the animals seamlessly into the 14 selections. The poetry is spare and often dramatic with well-chosen words and carefully crafted phrases that bring each marine creature to life. The salmon is a "Bear teaser,/ falls jumper,/ autumn star." The octopus's eight arms are the main focus of its eight-line poem. An anemone, a beluga, a seahorse, and an Portuguese man-of-war are among the other featured subjects. Lewin's illustrations complement the text perfectly. The shark seems to lunge from the side of the page, monstrous mouth opening to show his teeth while, beneath him, the words describe "the bear-trap jaw,/ the teeth,/ another five sets set/ beneath the gum." The vivid colors have a wide- ranging palette that results in a sometime startling combination of colors that merits a second look. The crab's legs are deep rose scuttling toward a violet shore and the seahorse clings to electric yellow grasses waving against a pale aqua background. The black depths of the night sea are portrayed along with the cool blues of tropical waters and each animal swims through it with almost photographic accuracy. The book ends with a page of notes about each creature. A beautiful collection.Jane Marino, Scarsdale Public Library, NY BookList - Lauren Peterson nger for reading aloud. The pair that produced the highly acclaimed "Bird Watch" (1990) team up again in this equally attractive collection of 14 melodic poems. Lewin's trademark watercolors, fresh, realistic, and beautifully rendered, nicely complement the poetry, which is interspersed with intriguing, sometimes little-known facts about the habits and characteristics of various exotic sea creatures. Yolen's lyrical language is beautiful, but occasional abstractions may confuse children who lack the background knowledge necessary to decipher obscure references, such as "Like the "Argo" of old, / A boat well-held / By the sailors' arms." The "Sea Watch Notes" at the end of the book will help. They are crucial to understanding the content of many of the poems, but most children will also need an adult's help to get the most from their reading.

Welcome to the Green House
Yolen, Jane
1997 10017751 In the current freshet of rainforest books, Yolen's rises to the surface not as a mere tour guide, but a gracious host to earth's "dark green, / light green, / emerald green / bright green / copper green, / blue green, / ever-new green house." The author's atmosphere-laden free verse, which falls into unexpected, pleasing rhyme and repetition, correlates with Regan's sumptuous gouache artwork. While the text focuses on the relentless noise of forest inhabitants, borderless, painterly illustrations seem to spill off the pages in their intricate depictions of animals cavorting amidst tropical flora. The illustrations are just literal enough--allowing youngsters to match familiar and unknown species with names in the text. Yolen's language begs for reading aloud but for a common problem: her generous use of onomatopoetic translation of animal calls and other sounds may be difficult for readers to imitate without jarring the beauty and rhythm of the language. A stimulating challenge, however, in a strikingly vibrant package. Ages 4-8. Large label inside front cover from the Albuquerque BioPark Education and Friends to a student. From School Library Journal: PreSchool-Grade 3-- Yolen explores a tropical rain forest in an entrancing poem full of internal rhyme, alliteration, and evocative images. "But it is not all green/ in the hot green house:/ a flash of blue hummingbird,/ a splash of golden toad,/ a lunge of waking lizards,/ a plunge of silver fish . . . ." These are only a few of the many creatures that the author catalogs and Regan depicts in her lush gouache paintings. The illustrations include all of the animals mentioned in the brief text, but readers are left to their own devices to identify the extra treats the artist includes. Ideal for introducing rain forest ecology in the primary grades, this book may be also be used by preschool teachers. Its many animal sounds and closeup views of snakes, sloths, and primates will perfectly suit their inquisitive students. A page of remarks about the continuing destruction of tropical rain forests and an address where youngsters may write to obtain information about preserving them is appended. The next best thing to a guided tour. Puffin 0-698-11445-0 / 9780698114456
