The Ugly Princess and the Wise Fool
By Gray, Margaret
Gray, Margaret. The Ugly Princess and the Wise Fool. Illustrated by Randy Cecil. Henry Holt, 2002. ISBN 0805068473. $15.95. 167 pp. Reviewer: Elizabeth Meyers Reading Level: Intermediate, Young adult Rating: Excellent Genre: Fairy tale; Humorous story; Fantasy story; Subject: Beauty, Personal--Juvenile fiction; Magic--Juvenile fiction; Wisdom--Juvenile fiction; Books-Reviews; The princess Rose, born into a royal world obsessed with beauty, manages to win the friendship and love of her family despite her being rather unusually ugly. Content with her appearance, Rose becomes friends with the Jasper the Court Fool (secretly an illegal Wise Man) and enjoys life until the day the shockingly handsome Prince Parsley rides in to sample the local beauties. Rose's adventures from this point, involving a fairy godmother at sea, enchanted hair, and a berry juice covered ex-pastry chef who reveals alarming secrets, are wonderfully wacky, and everyone ends up happily ever after--more or less. Using common elements from traditional fairy tales, Margaret Gray successfully pokes fun at their obsession with beauty and love at first sight. She deals nicely with the weaknesses of her characters (Rose's sudden upsurge of selfishness as she discovers the need to be beautiful, or the king's outlawing all wise-men and wisdom from the land) while still allowing them to be likeable. Randy Cecil's illustrations are not exactly realistic, but are quite humorous, somehow managing to portray an abundance of character in a few simple lines and some cross-hatching. While not incredible, the book is certainly enjoyable and would be a great addition to any children's collection.Children's Book and Play Review, January 2003

No Talking
By Clements, Andrew
"You have the right to remain silent." However... The fifth-grade girls and the fifth-grade boys at Laketon Elementary don't get along very well. But the real problem is that these kids are loud and disorderly. That's why the principal uses her red plastic bullhorn. A lot. Then one day Dave Packer, a certified loudmouth, bumps into an idea -- a big one that makes him try to keep quiet for a whole day. But what does Dave hear during lunch? A girl, Lynsey Burgess, jabbering away. So Dave breaks his silence and lobs an insult. And those words spark a contest: Which team can say the fewest words during two whole days? And it's the boys against the girls. How do the teachers react to the silence? What happens when the principal feels she's losing control? And will Dave and Lynsey plunge the whole school into chaos? This funny and surprising book is about language and thought, about words unspoken, words spoken in anger, and especially about the power of words spoken in kindness...with or without a bullhorn. It's Andrew Clements at his best -- thought-provoking, true-to-life, and very entertaining.

Frindle
By Clements, Andrew
Nicholas Allen has plenty of ideas. Who can forget the time he turned his third-grade classroom into a tropical island, or the times he fooled his teacher by chirping like a blackbird? But now Nick's in fifth grade, and it looks like his days as a troublemaker are over. Everyone knows that Mrs. Granger, the language arts teacher, has X-ray vision, and nobody gets away with anything in her classroom. To make matters worse, she's also a fanatic about the dictionary, which is hopelessly boring to Nick. But when Nick learns an interesting tidbit about words and where they come from, it inspires his greatest plan yet: to invent a new word. From now on, a pen is no longer a pen -- it's a frindle. It doesn't take long for frindle to take root, and soon the excitement spreads well beyond his school and town. His parents and Mrs. Granger would like Nick to put an end to all this nonsense. But frindle doesn't belong to Nick anymore. All he can do now is sit back and watch what happens. This quirky, imaginative tale about creative thought and the power of words will have readers inventing their own words. Brian Selznick's black-and-white illustrations enhance the humor in this unforgettable story.

The amiable Mercy Watson takes an automobile ride she'll never forget in the second tale of an ebullient first chapter-book series by Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen.Mr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car.

One day the Watsons' motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some "folly and adventure" - and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! Soon there's a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy. Of course, it's nothing that an extra helping of buttered toast can't fix!

The Ugly Princess and the Wise Fool
By Gray, Margaret
Gray, Margaret. The Ugly Princess and the Wise Fool. Illustrated by Randy Cecil. Henry Holt, 2002. ISBN 0805068473. $15.95. 167 pp. Reviewer: Elizabeth Meyers Reading Level: Intermediate, Young adult Rating: Excellent Genre: Fairy tale; Humorous story; Fantasy story; Subject: Beauty, Personal--Juvenile fiction; Magic--Juvenile fiction; Wisdom--Juvenile fiction; Books-Reviews; The princess Rose, born into a royal world obsessed with beauty, manages to win the friendship and love of her family despite her being rather unusually ugly. Content with her appearance, Rose becomes friends with the Jasper the Court Fool (secretly an illegal Wise Man) and enjoys life until the day the shockingly handsome Prince Parsley rides in to sample the local beauties. Rose's adventures from this point, involving a fairy godmother at sea, enchanted hair, and a berry juice covered ex-pastry chef who reveals alarming secrets, are wonderfully wacky, and everyone ends up happily ever after--more or less. Using common elements from traditional fairy tales, Margaret Gray successfully pokes fun at their obsession with beauty and love at first sight. She deals nicely with the weaknesses of her characters (Rose's sudden upsurge of selfishness as she discovers the need to be beautiful, or the king's outlawing all wise-men and wisdom from the land) while still allowing them to be likeable. Randy Cecil's illustrations are not exactly realistic, but are quite humorous, somehow managing to portray an abundance of character in a few simple lines and some cross-hatching. While not incredible, the book is certainly enjoyable and would be a great addition to any children's collection.Children's Book and Play Review, January 2003

But the real problem is that these kids are loud and disorderly. That's why the principal uses her red plastic bullhorn. A lot. Then one day Dave Packer, a certified loudmouth, bumps into an idea -- a big one that makes him try to keep quiet for a whole day. But what does Dave hear during lunch? A girl, Lynsey Burgess, jabbering away. So Dave breaks his silence and lobs an insult. And those words spark a contest: Which team can say the fewest words during two whole days? And it's the boys against the girls. How do the teachers react to the silence? What happens when the principal feels she's losing control? And will Dave and Lynsey plunge the whole school into chaos? This funny and surprising book is about language and thought, about words unspoken, words spoken in anger, and especially about the power of words spoken in kindness...with or without a bullhorn. It's Andrew Clements at his best -- thought-provoking, true-to-life, and very entertaining.

It doesn't take long for frindle to take root, and soon the excitement spreads well beyond his school and town. His parents and Mrs. Granger would like Nick to put an end to all this nonsense.

The Twits
By Dahl, Roald
Roald Dahl's thrillingly grotesque book for young readers is now available in a gorgeous new gift edition, featuring the deliciously wicked artwork of Quentin Blake.Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything-except playing mean jokes on each other, catching unsuspecting birds to put in their bird pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. With the help of Roly-Poly Bird, they set out to get some well-deserved revenge.
