More kids' books Christmas gift ideas and some nice preview pictures from those books at PRI's The World's "Children’s Holiday Books 2009".
The story includes two books I just have happily purchased and read—Kate DiCamillo's The Magician's Elephant and Shaun Tan's Tales from Suburbia—so I have evidence that Carol Zall's recommendations here are excellent. She also highlights a new edition of Alice in Wonderland with voluptuously colorful illlustrations by Rodney Matthews, a new edition of Han Christian Andersen's Thumbelina with illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline, who did such a wonderful job on DiCamillo's previous The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, a pop-up version of The Little Prince, and a picture book, Waiting for Winter by Sebastian Meschenmoser.
Another new, or in this case re-issued, children's book that I'm ordering right now is Alastair Reid's Ounce, Dice, Trice, enthusiastically reviewed here by Daniel Pinkwater. It was illustrated by Ben Shahn!
