Readers beware--there's a ferocious lion in this book! The book
warns that it has seen the lion already. First its bristly tail,
then clashing claws, twitchy ears, fearsome fangs... and it's lying
in wait to turn any unsuspecting passerby into a child cheeseburger
or rugrat ravioli. But does a brushy tail always belong to a lion?
When you touch the curvy claws, will they be attached to a paw? You
never really know what might be lurking around the corner in this
surprising story that challenges readers to face their darkest
fears, and maybe even laugh about them.
Follow a child's dreamy flight through the Arctic and discover the
animals that live there, from the wolves prowling through the snow
to the goats and sheep leaping across mountains, to walrus and sea
lions lying on icebergs. Children's Book Review, Best Picture Books
of 2019 "Dramatic rhythm, matched by spectacular linocut
illustrations with black backgrounds, glowing colors, and
exaggerated perspectives that suggest a surreal dream world. The
child has beige skin and dark hair and eyes. The setting is
indicated by the title and arctic wildlife and by a simple map of
the Arctic Ocean on the wall of the child's cozy bedroom. This
stunning interpretation of a fascinating region soars with polished
poetry and striking, memorable art." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred

rhymes and colorfully illustrated with gorgeous linocut art, Dream

A rhyming picture book about how sometimes it's not the biggest,
strongest, or the fastest, but the littlest who can get the job
done! "Charming, entertaining, and original, The Littlest Airplane
is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to family,
daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library
picture book collections for children ages 4-7." -Midwest Book
Review "This is a really cute story about a plane that is smaller
than all the others. He feels inferior because he can't do what the
big planes can. But when people get stuck in a storm and call for
help, the big planes are too big to land to rescue the people, the
little plane can reach them and he saves them. The illustrations
were cute; I love the expressiveness of the planes. . . 4 stars."
-Youth Services Book Review "The text clearly stands out against
Joseph's wonderful illustrations, which work in tandem with the
text to convey exactly what's happening in the story. These scenes
are big and colorful, making it easy to see all aspects of the
picture, even from a distance-perfect for story hours. . .
Altogether, Hartman has created another wonderful ride of a story.
A great rhyming read aloud for little learners to introduce
different types of planes and spot light the oft-forgotten bush
plane." -School Library Journal "The story told in lilting rhyming
text is brought to life in colorful illustrations featuring
personified airplanes with expressive faces and beautiful Alaskan
scenery. Facts about bush planes and a labeled diagram of a plane
appear in the back pages. Young children identify with being small
and wanting to be important. They will recognize this story as a
good companion to The Little Engine That Could." -Children's
Literature Comprehensive Database "Alaska Northwest Books wings
into spring with... The Littlest Airplane by Brooke Hartman, illus.
by John Joseph, in which a storm necessitates calling a mighty
little bush plane to rescue people stuck on a mountain in the
snow." -Publishers Weekly, Spring 2022 Children's Sneak Previews At
a landing strip in the far north, a little bush plane watches
quietly as bigger, stronger, faster planes take off for adventure.
But when a storm hits and hikers are stranded on the mountain, who
will come to the rescue? Told in rhyming verse with bright
illustrations, The Littlest Airplane soars high with heart and
excitement.
