Marthe Jocelyn and Tom Slaughter explore opposites in this gorgeous introduction to modern art for small readers. Cut paper images introduce children to color, form, and design as they explore tall giraffes and short mice, squares and circles, light day and dark night.
An art book as well as a sound learning tool, Over Under is stunningly simple and simply stunning.

Marthe Jocelyn’s simple concept of matching creatures — familiar and unusual — with their favorite foods is brought to life by the sparkling colors and masterfully cut paper shapes of Tom Slaughter’s illustrations; a first taste of modern art. And the surprise final picture makes a satisfying dessert.
Toronto-born Marthe Jocelyn is an award-winning author and illustrator who lives in Stratford, Ontario. Her picture book Hannah’s Collections was short-listed for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Illustration and her novel Mable Riley received the TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award.

First printed in 1973, this reissue of the childhood classic, I Know a Lot of Things (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/rain40 NULL.html), is a celebration of all the new and intriguing knowledge children delight in possessing. Written from the simplicity of a child’s perspective, the plain-but-powerful text voices important childhood knowledge such as “I know when I look in the mirror, what I see is me” and that “dogs go bowwow and that is how they talk.” Illustrated with graphic designer Paul Rand’s colorful, playful artwork, I Know a Lot of Things, with all the teeny nuggets of wisdom contained therein, is destined to please a new generation.
Ann Rand wrote five children’s books including Sparkle and Spin (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/rain17 NULL.html) (also available at dandelion KIDS), A Book About Words, four of which were illustrated by her husband. In addition to the four children’s books he illustrated, Paul Rand wrote and co-authored several others, and designed some of the best-known corporate icons of his time, including the logos for ABC, IBM, and UPS.

Who do you think of when you see a hammer and a saw? A carpenter! What about a shovel and a watering can? In Taro Miura’s deceptively simple book, children will discover more than sixty different tools, both familiar and new. Even the youngest readers will find the striking images engaging, and older children will be fascinated by the chance to guess which profession uses each set of tools before they turn the page. A wonderful tour of a variety of jobs and the tools they use to fix, build, and create.
