Recenzii
"Award-winning author Yolen... sings old songs in new ways."
"Layers of intrigue surround this fun book from Jane Yolen and Doug Keith. [Recommended for] Lovers of Jane Yolen’s picture books and anyone who loves when the illustrations tell a story that the words do not."
"Ava and Mason are on an outdoor adventure to go fishing and explore Giant Island with their grandpa….After reading this book with enjoyable dialogue and fun illustrations, young outdoor enthusiasts will want to go out and explore an island themselves."
"The pictures of the giant/island were so fun. And I loved the detail of the end pages. The ones in front showing the islands and the ones in back showing those same islands…. Kids will love comparing the two."
"Giant Island arrived today and it is gorgeous! Magical.... Simply beautiful! The cover is amazing with the gloss. I love the interior pages too. I think every bookstore on every island will want to order this book for years to come."
"The wonder of childhood comes alive…literally..... Childhood magic shared with a new generation."
"Jane Yolen, who sees stories everywhere, takes a giant leap here. Through her text and through comic and scintillating illustrations by Doug Keith, we learn that though no man may be an island, an island might be—well, a giant adventure, at least."
"Lovingly rendered in whimsical illustrations that bring this fairy tale to life."
"A beautifully imaginative tale of discovery and magic and family history on an island that really lives up to its name."
"Keep your eyes wide open. There may be more than one giant in this magical place with giants who keep giant secrets."
"Gigantic adventures await on Giant Island! Jane Yolen’s inquisitive text brightens Doug Keith’s well observed watercolors. I can’t wait to visit again!"
"This delightful book, with its slow and delicious reveal of the life of a magical island, will enchant those children who know (much better than we adults do!) how truly alive the world can be!"
"The illustrations of the island are fabulous, imaginative and unexpected … I love that although it is about a magical place, it is also about the relationship between children and their grandparent and the wisdom of older people."
"The illustrations…are wonderful in conveying a seemingly naturalistic surface into a magical one. This giant is a friendly one, and readers will want to return again and again to see how the slow reveal is pulled off. Delightful."
"By wielding perspective and scale in playful ways, Keith provides visual clues along the way … Yolen fills the text with the children’s excited dialogue, which gives the book a lively tone."
"We LOVE intergenerational stories like this one. The time spent with and stories told from my grandparents are some of my favorite memories. This was a beautiful story filled with love, adventure and of course a little magic."
"The pictures are colorful, and I like how they fill the whole page – they help tell the story just by looking at them. I’m sure that kids of all ages will enjoy this story because it’s magical!"
"Giant Island is a delight, from the beautiful, embossed cover, to the twist ending, to the provocative end papers. …a perfect story to explore over and over and over again! You will discover something new and wonderful each time!"
"What fun! Doug Keith’s uniquely creative illustrations jump off the page and bring Giant Island to life! And how nice to have a kids’ story about a giant who is friendly!”
"..there’s something magical about the island’s twisty, hair-like trees and its bubbling, critter-filled waters. Why, it’s almost like it’s smiling at the children and welcoming them to play…"
"Bubbling with magic, Jane Yolen and Doug Keith’s Giant Island is a mythical adventure for readers of all ages. I have no doubt this will be a picture book children will ask to read again and again."
"In Jane Yolen’s world, magic is everywhere for those who know how to look, and nowhere is that more true than on Giant Island."
"Doug Keith's delightful and humorous illustrations make this trip to Giant Island an enchanting and magical adventure for all those lucky enough to come along."
"Giant Island is a charming children’s tale filled with magical illustrations that will keep your child fascinated and engaged for a very long time. Every illustration is bewitching, and the more you look… the more you see."
"I love how Jane Yolen’s text and Doug Keith’s illustrations come together to make this lovely work of art from cover to cover."
"The boundless imagination and witty genius in Doug Keith’s Giant Island imagery never ceases to delight."
"Minimal text and great illustrations make this a picture-perfect picture book."
"Hopefully you already know and love Jane Yolen. This one does not disappoint and we so enjoyed getting carried along on this quite, evocatively imaginative journey."
