Summary: Polacco is superb, as always
Comment: In Polacco's rollicking, urban version of "The House That Jack Built," the story begins innocuously enough with a tiny bee landing on a tree near an outdoor cafe. A little boy leans over to examines the bee and eventually--of course!--all hell breaks loose, spiraling out of control from this original, innocent action.
Kids will love the rhyming, rhythmic pace of the book, and adults will appreciate the tiny, out-of-the-way details such as the fountain cherub eventually coming down out of her stiff stance at the center of spraying water and helping everyone else at the restaurant gawk at what's going on--not to mention the fact that the original offending bee appears throughout in every single picture.
Polacco has--no surprise here--done it again!

Summary: In Enzo's Splendid Gardens
Comment: I loved this book! As I was sitting in a children's library reviewing picture books, I tried to keep myself from bursting out in laughter as I read In Enzo's Splendid Gardens. This book is so fun and creative, and filled with a humorous, rhythmic storyline. The pictures are excellent as well, perfectly matching each hilarious episode. This book is a must read for young and old alike!
Rating: 1
Summary: Disappointing book
Comment: Patricia Polacco uses the repetitive genre similar to There's a Bear in the Woods in her book In Enzo's Splendid Garden. Although there are humorous moments, my daughter, age 7, was completely bored. She much more appreciates Polacco's narrative storytelling in books such as Thank You, Mr. Falker.
