Reddit reviews Turtle Spring

Turtle Spring by Deborah Tunney-Zagwyn. A beautifully illustrated and charming story about a girl coming to terms with her baby brother over a long winter.

Tuesday an almost wordless book about flying frogs. It's brilliant. If you get it never loan it to anyone. Grrr.

Grandma and the Pirates by Phoebe Gilman. This is my favourite of hers, though all her stuff is great. I don't know if she's as well known outside of Canada, she's a classic here. I also recommend her re-telling of a traditional Jewish children's tale; Something From Nothing which is brilliant for the dual-illustrations of a human family, and the mice who live under the floorboards - the kind of detail that always seemed magical when I was a child.
