Keller, Holly Geraldine's Big Snow
New York Greenwillow Aug-88 688075134 N Hardcover
From Publishers Weekly&newline;Rumor that a a big storm is on the way has Geraldine preparing for a foot of snow. She has her sled down and her boots by the door. Outside, her neighbors are also getting ready: buying food, checking out library books and filling up the bird feeder. The snow doesn't come and Geraldine sadly goes to bed. But the next morning the snowplow wakes her, and she sails down the hill on her sled, just like she had planned. The color of Keller's pre-storm sky is a perfect blue-gray; the preparations of family and friends for snow, through Geraldine's eyes, bring a cozy glow to the big freeze. Last seen in Geraldine's Blanket , this saucy pig heroine is full of her usual high spirits, and children will appreciate her impatient request for a weather report from her mother: &doublequote;Tell me again what Papa heard on the radio.&doublequote; Ages 4-up. &newline;Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;From School Library Journal&newline;PreSchool-Grade 1 Like most young children, plump pig Geraldine waits with impatient anticipation for the first big snowstorm of the season. While the neighbors go about their preparations, stocking shelves and supplementing leisure reading supplies, Geraldine gazes longingly at the still-dry sky. Geraldine is a winning character, as are her animal neighbors. Readers will see and feel her frustration, impatience, and final satisfaction as the snow does indeed fall, and she gets her long-awaited sled ride. With its soft, clean colors and illustrations large enough for group sharing, this is the perfect choice to pair with Keats' The Snowy Day (Viking, 1962) for a winter story session for toddlers. It's fresh, appealing, and perfectly delightful. Trev Jones, &doublequote;School Library Journal&doublequote;&newline;Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Keller, Holly Henry's happy birthday
New York Greenwillow Books 1990 688094503 N Hardcover
From School Library Journal&newline;PreSchool-Grade 2-- Henry, who last celebrated Henry's Fourth of July (Greenwillow, 1985), observes a frustrating birthday. His cake is vanilla, not the requested chocolate. The presents don't look promising; one kid even leaves his gift at home. Henry takes his disappointments with some grace, for as long as he can. Blowing out the candles he wishes &doublequote;that this were someone else's birthday.&doublequote; But the day turns around. He loves his presents and the cake, he has to admit, is quite good. Later Mama comforts and assures him that he can spend a whole year thinking of a better wish. Even with the cozy ending, this story of clouds with silver linings seems awry. Unlike Shirley Hughes' Alfie Gives a Hand (Lothrop, 1984), in which the child acts out on the special day, here the family and friends heap too much turmoil on Henry. Full-color watercolor and black ink are used in Keller's familiar spare style. Pages have lots of white space and there is a deft use of line to bring humor and personality to the mice characters. The typeface is easy to read, large, and graceful. Solid first-grade readers can manage the text. --Jacqueline Elsner, Athens Regional Library, GA&newline;Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;Card catalog description&newline;Relates the disappointments and joys of Henry's birthday party.

Keller, Holly Lizzie's Invitation
New York Greenwillow Aug-87 688061249 N Hardcover
From Publishers Weekly&newline;Everyone gets invitations to Kate's party. Everyone, it seems, but Lizzie. She offers Kate carrot sticks, hoping that she'll be invited after all, but all Kate gives her are raisins. On the day of the party it rains and Lizzie still feels terrible. So she goes for a walk and finds a friendAmanda, who wasn't invited to the party either. They spend the day together, busily baking, dressing up and having lunch. The party is forgotten. Keller once again manages to reassure children about one of the most difficult timesbeing unwanted. Some may think that Amanda's showing up like that is just a little too convenient, because feeling left out can sometimes last a long time. But the cherry-colored umbrella the girls share, as well as their identical pumpkin-hued raincoats, makes a sad occasion fey, and their resourcefulness is a lesson for anyone. Ages 4-8. &newline;Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;From School Library Journal&newline;Kindergarten-Grade 2 Keller makes a child's emotion al dilemma the subject of a sensitive picture book. Lizzie is disappointed when she doesn't receive an invitation to a party even though many of her class mates are invited. On the day of the party she takes a walk and meets Aman da, a classmate who, like Lizzie, was not invited to the party, and together they spend a wonderful afternoon becoming friends. Whimsical watercolor drawings perfectly complement the simple story and capture Lizzie's varied emotions. A comforting picture book that will pro vide reassurance to preschoolers who are faced with a disappointing experi ence.
