They are baking the best birthday cake ever! &nbsp;Duck wants to help, but who wants TURNIPS for their birthday? Who indeed? <em>A Birthday for Cow </em>answers that question, while its companion story <em>The Doghouse</em> raises new questions. Who or what is in the doghouse? Why is it that no one who goes <em>in</em> comes <em>out</em>? And what&#39;s this about having Duck for dinner?</p> <p>Writer/illustrator Jan Thomas&#39;s skill with a few simple lines remind me of the Pigeon books by Mo Willems, and wild-eyed duck would probably LOVE to drive a bus (but don&#39;t let him!).&nbsp; </p>http://evpl.org/community/blogs/kids/archive/2008/08/06/simple-can-be-good.aspxWed, 06 Aug 2008 13:15:00 GMT9a7b961d-7882-4302-b701-732ca0e566f2:136bookchick@evpl<p>I&#39;ve been told that I have a simple sense of humor. </p> <p>Sounds bad doesn&#39;t it? </p> <p>But, simple is the reason I really like Mo Willems&#39; Elephant &amp; Piggie books.</p> <p>These picture books have simple text and simple illustrations that let the characters personality and relationship tell the story. Not to mention they make me laugh out loud. The facial expressions alone are enough to induce a giggle. Try them out and see if they don&#39;t make you smile.<img src="http://wwwbeta.evpl.org/community/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /></p> <p>Check out his website:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mowillems.com/" title="Mo Willems Website">http://www.mowillems.com/</a></p> <p><img width="80" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=S&amp;Value=1423106873&amp;erroroverride=1&amp;" alt="book jacket" height="110" /><img width="80" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=S&amp;Value=1423102959&amp;erroroverride=1&amp;" alt="book jacket Today I will Fly" height="110" /><img width="80" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=S&amp;Value=1423102975&amp;erroroverride=1&amp;" alt="book jacket My Friend Is Sad" height="109" /><img width="80" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=S&amp;Value=1423106865&amp;erroroverride=1&amp;" alt="book jacket There is a Bird on Your Head" height="109" /><img width="80" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=S&amp;Value=1423109619&amp;erroroverride=1&amp;" alt="book jacket I Love My New Toy" height="110" /><img width="80" src="http://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?UserID=III21&amp;Password=BT0005&amp;Return=T&amp;Type=S&amp;Value=1423109627&amp;erroroverride=1&amp;" alt="book jacket I Will Surprise My Friend" height="110" /></p>
