The team who brought grins to young readers with "The Boston
Balloonies" and "I Met a Moose in Maine" have created a third
charmer about a family of codfish and their friends. According to
Shankman's rhyming narrative: The Cods of Cape Cod / Love their
summer vacation, / And though they could go / Anywhere in the
nation, / They keep coming back / To their favorite location, /
'Cause they know that Cape Cod's / A vacation sensation! The Cods
of Cape Cod / Have a house on the beach, / And it's just the right
size, / With a fish tank for each. . . . To this colorful
fish-friendly house come the Cods' many fishy friends, shrimp comes
from Sandwich, bass from Mashpee, swordfish from Chatham, and so
on. And boy, do they know how to have fun!
The latest rhyming children's book from the bestselling
author-illustrator team of Shankman & O'Neill ("I Met a Moose
in Maine One Day") visits the Sunshine State and meets a child and
grandma alligator! Full color.
Author Ed Shankman and illustrator Dave O'Neill have created
award-winning books on Boston, Cape Cod, Maine, and Vermont. Now
they leave New England and turn their attention to the birthplace
of jazz, New Orleans, Louisiana Jazz, of course, is the only truly
American form of music, born from a meeting and mixing of cultures
where the mighty Mississippi meets the Gulf of Mexico. Drummer
Bobcat Bob leads a hot band of multi-cultural musicians, featuring
a gator on bass, a finger-snapping frog, and a horn section made up
of raccoons, a crayfish, and some loons. Bobcat Bob's band is known
for miles around - "They played like wind. They played like fire.
They raised the roof, and raised it higher. They played all night
and weren't done, 'Til morning came and they raised the sun." But
one day the music stopped and "the great New Orleans lost its
voice." Through months of darkness and sadness the people "wished
that things were like before." And with a single drum beat on
Bourbon Street, and then another, and another, the music came back
to New Orleans, better than ever Children and parents alike will
love this story about the healing power of music. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the New
Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation.
A boy and a moose become fast friends in this rhyming charmer from
the creators of "The Boston Balloonies," "The Cods of Cape Cod,"
and "Champ and Me By the Maple Tree." Together, boy and beast play
hide-and-seek (not the best game for a moose), walk to the general
store, then take a tour of Maine. They fly about in a seaplane,
they run the Penobscot River on a raft made of logs, they hang out
on a dock in Camden, and they finish off with some "chocolate moose
cake" at a cafe in Portland!
Whimsical balloon creatures lead children through the sights and
delights of Boston in the first book by Shankman and O'Neill.
Whether flying through the Public Garden, visiting Beacon Hill, or
enjoying a game at Fenway Park, the balloonies are sure to please
readers young and old with their colorful adventures and bouncing
rhymes.
