Summary: A delightful children's book
Comment: Tangible signs of winter and warmth highlight this finely textured book from the author and illustrator of "The Paper Princess" and "The Puddle Pail." It's wintertime, and all the animals miss the sun. A baker decides to make Sun Bread to make everyone warm again. The bread warms the hearts of all the animals, and the feed some to The Sun, heating its insides to radiate light.
Kleven's illustrations create a wonderful transfer between gray, wintry skies and warm sunny days. She uses collages to great effect; the snow falling from the sky takes on an almost three-dimensional look. The drawings appear chalk-like in style, giving a smooth flow to the storyline. Parents will appreciate the transference of gloom among the animals under the winter skies to smiles under the sunshine. Some enthusiastic children are sure to ask their parents to bake Sun Bread using the recipe on the back of the book. A delight throughout.

Summary: Lovely!
Comment: This is a delightful book with gorgeous pictures, pleasing rhymes to read aloud and several lovely themes that are nicely understated (e.g. the pleasure of giving and receiving, creating your own light and warmth in dark and wintry times). The illustrations are warm without being too shmaltzy and have the kind of details that young kids (perhaps all kids) love, where you can pick out a tiny lion in this corner doing such and so and, "What's that?! A zebra doing...!" I haven't yet tried the recipe for sun bread on the back cover but what a great idea idea to be able to leap up from the book into your kitchen with your toddler to bake up some bread.

Summary: pure pleasure
Comment: In the midst of winter Elisa Kleven's Sun Bread brought my eight-year old son and I pure pleasure, warmth and joy. We stayed on each page much longer than it took to read the dancing words, just to study all the happenings amongst the animals in this diversely populated town. Early on, each window, each character revealed the effects of an incessent grey winter, yet we eagerly turned the pages in anticipation of what might follow. Elisa's exquisite, remarkably intricate illustrations, eloquent and flowing verse, and creative baker dog prove that while external factors may be difficult, we can always create our own happpiness, warmth and sun. All ages will love this book at their own level.
