STARTED & FINISHED:
Amato, Mary. (2008). Chicken of the family. New York: Putnam.
[A little girl's two older sisters convince her that she turns into a chicken when she's asleep - even going so far as to put an egg in her bed and some feathers on the floor while she's sleeping. Cute, but not quite outstanding.]
Drescher, Henrik. (2008). McFig and McFly. Cambridge, MA: Candlewick.
[LOVED this one. Two guys compete throughout their lives to build the most impressive home while their kids fall in love. AMAZING illustrations - definitely OUTSTANDING.]
Haseley, Dennis. (2008). Twenty heartbeats. New Milford, CT: Roaring Brook.
[Ed Young's characteristic illustrations always add a special something to a tale - the same goes for this one. Lyrical and meditative... and outstanding.]
