New Releases by Judi Barrett

El pequeño pueblo de Tragaycome era más o menos como cualquier otro pueblo si no fuera porque el tiempo cambiaba tres veces al día: en el desayuno, en la comida y en la cena. Allí nunca llovía lluvia, nunca nevaba nieve y el viento nunca soplaba así, sin más. Llovían cosas como sopa y zumo de frutas, nevaba puré de patatas y aveces el viento traía grandes tormentas de hamburguesas.

Animals should definitely not act like people, because it would be foolish for a fish, so silly for a sheep, and preposterous for a panda, as Ron Barrett''s wonderfully detailed drawings show.

From the bestselling creators of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes a clever and silly board book that presents a unique view on perspective. Look What I See is an inventive story that showcases the world as only Judi and Ron Barrett can see it. A study on perspective, each page asks readers what they might see in different situations—like with your eyes half shut, or upside down, or riding on a bumpy road, or looking through a magnifying glass—followed by a brilliantly illustrated answer. The up-close and personal point of view is sure to have readers giggling and trying out each position to see how their world looks from a new perspective.

Judi and Ron Barrett, the team behind the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs series, remind us once again why animals are better off just the way they are.

Could it be raining pies on Mars? Suddenly, Mars seems a whole lot more inviting—and delicious!—than it ever has before. And more will be revealed.

Thinking about that postcard Kate drifts off to sleep that night and... "With Henry as my co-pilot..." she visits the strange land of Chewandswallow -- a land characterized by massive amounts of food, immense carrots, leafy jungles of lettuce, and tuna fish sandwiches so gigantic they have to be moved by helicopter. What the people of Chewandswallow are doing with all that food is most intriguing of all. Fans of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs will applaud this return trip with its underlying message of generosity and a world community.
