Sue FliessReseñas

{My thoughts} – This is a cute little book about trick or treating. It helps to show children that there isn’t any real reason to be scared, because none of the stuff your seeing is actually scary.

The words and the illustrations blend together nicely. They help to show the reader exactly as the author intended them to see. I think it is a book that was brilliantly put together and that it will make a nice addition to any child’s library come Halloween time.

Cute rhymes and bright illustrations, accompanied by interesting facts about these fascinating creatures.

This has lovely illustrations and great rhyming that's enjoyable to look at and read. This is a great children's book about sounds and beautiful pictures from around the world. My kids love this and I'm looking at getting a few copies so each one of my kids can have their own. Thanks to NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group/Millbrook Press for letting me read and review this lovely book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

OMG. The illustrations. Y'all. There is a stunning spread of the heart as a flower and the leaves spread out like veins.....and the image of a pregnant woman with a baby in utero. YES YES YES

And I want to do this book in storytime due to the sounds. Asking what makes which sound. What else is seen on the pages. SO good

A funny book for kids about how to be a pirate.

Quirky little illustrations that make the book.

This was great book, displayed vital information on different kind of bugs, and exemplifies very good colorful pages.

clever! Great rhythm and rhyme.

Children experience and interact with all kinds of light in this rhyming picture-book, from the beauty of the sunset to the enchantment of the Aurora Borealis, the flickering flame of a birthday candle to the exploding wonder of fireworks. The importance of light to various cultural and religious celebrations - Yi Peng, Holi, Hanukkah, Christmas - is also touched upon. The book concludes with a two-page discussion of the science of light, and more information about its role in some of the cultural traditions mentioned...

Pairing a simple text - just a few words on each two-page spread - from American author Sue Fliess with gorgeous artwork from Vietnamese illustrator Khoa Le, Flash and Gleam: Light in Our World is a picture-book that would be suitable for very young children. The front dust-jacket flap recommends it for ages five through eight, but I think this is a bit of a stretch. The afterword would certainly be suitable for an audience in this age range, but the main narrative strikes me as being too basic for children at this level. I'm a great admirer of Khao Le's artwork - indeed, I tracked this one down largely because of the illustrations - and I was not disappointed on that score, but I think the book suffers from some confusion, when it comes to its target audience. Leaving that aside, I do recommend it, both to fellow fans of Khoa Le, and to those seeking lovely, peaceful books for their toddlers' bedtime.

THIS IS SO CUTE. A little girl builds a ship to Mars, aiming to be the first one there. It's told in rhymes and it reads like a song almost, which I adored.

This is such a great book for kids!! There are facts on female scientists and Mars at the end, too.

Nice children’s story

This rhyming children’s book focused on a young heroine and her stuffed animal team goin to Mars. It has an uplifting message for young readers especially inspiring girls that such dreams are not unreachable. The story is nice and the illustrations is wonderful. Definitely a children’s book to be read and shared.½

The artwork is charmingly ragged. The story has very little conflict.

There is only one way to meet a mermaid and this book will show you how. It involves making a gift and if you are lucky she will take you on an adventure. There is also some fun crafts you can make afterwards that go with the story.

Light is everywhere and a huge part of our world. There are many forms and there is an explanation behind them all. This book explains the different forms of life and the science behind it all in a fun and interesting way for children. It is a great book to integrate into a science lesson and assess prior knowledge with students.½
