White Snow, Bright Snow

When the first flakes fell from the grey sky, the postman and the farmer and the policeman and his wife scurried about doing all the practical things grownups do when a snowstorm comes. But the children laughed and danced, and caught the lacy snowflakes on thier tongues. All the wonder and delight a child feels in a snowfall is caught in the pages of this book -- the frost ferns on the window sill, the snow man in the yard and the mystery and magic of a new white world. Roger Duvoisin's pictures in soft blue half-tones with briliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the gaiety and humor as well as the poetic quality of the text.

Wake Up, City!

"Tresselt's classic picture book shows the city from daybreak until the beginning of the nine-to-five work day. Minimal changes to the text reflect changing realities and perceptions....Recommended."--Booklist.

Literature & Fiction

"A new edition of a picture book, first published in 1955, about the earliest morning activities on a modern farm. Tresselt's updated, lyrical text is longer and more sophisticated...Lush, realistic paintings [are] in colors that are rich and muted...The overall effect is certainly lovely."--Booklist.

Wake Up, Farm!

"Drip drop splash went the rain all day." The rain formed a puddle. . .and became a pond. . .and spilled over into a lake. . .and grew larger and larger until it joined with a river and travelled out to sea.
With this classic picture book, young readers can follow the course of a heavy rain as it drenches people and animals and changes the landscape below. With its poetic text and lovely, detailed illustrations, Rain Drop Splash is a delight to read, rain or shine.

Rain Drop Splash

Tresselt's classic story of The Dead Tree is given new life in this gloriously reillustrated volume. The role of an oak tree in the cycle of nature is revealed as an ancient tree, even as it dies and returns to the earth, provides nourishment for new life all around it. "Impressionistic illustrations beautifully reflect an evocative text." -- Kirkus Reviews.
