The tropics are as romantic as anything, so why not?
Edward Lear's classic poem gets Brettisized as Jan Brett puts the owl and his feline sweetheart in a Carribean sort of mood with detailed artwork that still fits the mood--just with a tropical twist. This is a bright way to introduce this classic poem with the romantic art for which Jan Brett is known.It is enough to make anyone sign up for a tropical cruise of their own!Brett knows her animals very well and her particular characters fit very well in the poem's structure.

Beautifully illustrated
Our 2 yr. old daughter loves this book. I love to sing it to her. The drawings are unusually good, and have lots and lots of great detail. Our daughter loves to notice how, say, the fish from one panel makes it into the following panels.

Beautiful, Brilliant, Detailed
I love the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" - so much in fact that my husband is thoroughly sick of it. This book is a fabulous rendition of that poem. The illustrations of Jan Brett are lush, brilliantly colorful and have enough details in them to make this slim book worth reading many times. The Caribbean theme used throughout is a nice, novel idea. It makes me want to visit the land where the bong-tree grows. Recommended, and I don't even have any children! ... Read more

Product Description
Jan Brett's New York Times bestselling picture book The Umbrella has all the rollicking fun of the woodland animals that crowd into a mitten in the snow in The Mitten. Only this time it's in a lush cloud forest as one by one, tree frog, toucan, kinkajou, baby tapir, quetzal, monkey, and jaguar crowd into an open, upside down banana umbrella until a tiny hummingbird lands and they all fall out. A shortened text for toddlers and simple Spanish phrases like "Hola!" add to the fun of reading aloud this lively board book. ... Read more

Product Description
Brett presents the biblical story from the perspective of Noah's granddaughter. The child watches the construction of the ark and the arrival of its passengers. Once they are on board and the rain falls, she untangles the crowded beasts so that they can all sleep peacefully. When the storm ends, Grandpa Noah releases her pet dove to search for land. After the creatures disembark, she helps him plant a seed to start life anew. This familiar story serves as a vehicle for Brett's watercolor-and-gouache panoramas of animals, birds, and insects from all corners of the Earth. Even the dodo appears. Each spread features a large scene surrounded by a papyrus border. Smaller pictures that relate to the central image are presented in animal-shaped frames to the left and right. Close-up views of insects appear near the corner of some pages and the dove also has a spot in many illustrations. Such details add to the book's interest for older children, who can find something new to explore during repeat readings. ... Read more
