The Horse Painters by Peter Stockwell - Book Review
This is a collection of essays from renowned children s books authors. As the title indicates, 100 authors come together to compile simple tips for families to use to help save the planet and have fun while doing it.A gentle story of love and loss through the eyes of a little girl who lost her brother to death. The pictures and text are warm and tender, a great place to start when helping a child grieve.As parents it s very difficult for us to find just the right project and picture book for our kids especially when they are young. If we buy one which is too complicated, all they do is end up scribbling while coloring in the scene, or they get frustrated because they can t solve the puzzles. That s why there is one book series that I really love and enjoy, and think it is just great for kids.
As parents it s often hard to find a Children s Book that really makes our children think, one which opens their minds and imagination and really gets those neurons firing. There are so many children s books on the market that really are not so great, and some are on the shelves because of the author s stardom or the author s connections into the publishing business. Still, as parents we know the difference, and yes, I think our kids do too.If your children are wondering about squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks and even little raccoons that they might see, there is a great children s book that has all of these little varmints and critters in cartoon form. It is indeed one of the best children s books that I have found for ages 2 to 3. The book like many children s books is quite short, only about 15 pages.The Horse Painters is a children s book set long ago in the last Ice Age. It opens with Umalik and Aariak, brother and sister, making for a large cave where there are drawings on the walls of bison and deer and other animals too. Many of the pictures are drawn by the girl, Aariak, for she possesses magical powers, because the animals she draws are attracted to the cave, making them easier to hunt.
