Interjections abound in Robert Neubecker’s books, and this time around it’s Wow! School!. Izzy travels down the mountain to attend school and is rewarded with books, lunch, music and more. Who knew that school could be such fun? Excitement is created not only by Neubecker’s story Izzy’s activity and enthusiasm are infectious but more importantly through his drawings. Big, bright and bold, the artwork in Wow! School! is what makes the book exhilarating. Children will enjoy the details, always finding something new inside the classroom or out in the schoolyard. The book is also a great learning tool, full of colors, numbers, letters and shapes.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
