About the Book: Lucy has just recieved a new red wagon and can't wait to play with it! But Lucy's mother wants her to run to the market, which Lucy doesn't think sounds all that exciting. But along the way, Lucy and her friends discover how much fun a little red wagon can be.
Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Renata Liwska, when will you please move to the US so you can recieve a Caldecott Award? I was introduced to Ms. Liwska's work through The Quiet Book and I've sought out her books ever since.
Red Wagon is a book about a little fox's imagination. While we're told one story in the text, the illustrations give the reader another story and show what kind of adventures Lucy and her friends can go on when they pretend.
The illustrations are soft and beautiful and the detail packed into them make them fun to look at. The illustrations have a very warm fuzzy quality about them. I also love how Ms. Liwska can create animals with so much emotion!
A great picture book and perfect for reading aloud or for new readers to enjoy on their own.
Have you seen The Loud Book yet? *love*
