Giant Jack

From the beginning, Jack was different -- much bigger than his sisters and far too clumsy to join in their games. His sisters are always laughing at him. But when Mother Mouse explains to Jack that his difference is what makes him so special to her, Jack is transformed. Happy and confident, he loves being big and strong, and his sisters discover just how great it is to have a brother like Giant Jack.
Comical pictures illustrate this comforting story that will reassure adopted children and any youngster who has ever felt ""different.""

Felipa's beloved grandmother, Abuelita, has died. Felipa misses her terribly and is very sad. Her parents try to comfort Felipa. They tell her that the souls of the dead live on forever. So Felipa decides to find Abuelita's soul. But where is it? She asks her grandmother's donkey, her pig, and her Ilamas for help. She treks many miles to the highest mountain, but grandmother's soul is nowhere to be found. Then, months later, the entire village is bustling with preparations for the Day of the Dead. Felipa joins in the celebrations honoring loved ones who have died, and in the process finally finds Abuelita's soul. Birte Muller's sweet story captures the essence of this special holiday, which is celebrated throughout Latin America and in parts of the United States. She celebrates the universal spirit of remembrance, where sorrow and loss are coupled with joy as people commemorate and commune with loved ones who have died.

Now with a realistic farting sound every time you push the button! ""There's a genuine structure and momentum to the enjoyably silly story. There's still much mining of the flatulent vein of humor, of course, and sound effects and stinky jokes will send young listeners guffawing. . . This will be a high-flyer for very, very informal read aloud occasions or for jocular uncles looking for sure-fire routes to subversive popularity."" --Recommended, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
