Summary: what about me
Comment: This story was pretty interesting. It's about a boy named dirk. all he wants to do is be like his older brother sabastin. sabastin sneaks secret letters and papers to people to get word of things spred around. dirk wants to help sabastin but he wont let him.
then when dirk was walking home from school he found a note that was needed to spred aroud. dirk went to sabastins room and stole some of sabastins papers and put the note in them and gave a few copies out to anyone he could trust.
for some risen dirk thought the nazis were going to search his house and find the hiden papers. so then hestole all of the papers and stuffed them in his pockets and tried to get rid of them.
while dirk was on his way to get rid of his papers he ran into a little jewish girl and he knew what he had to do. will dirk be able to sav the girl from the nazis and get rid of the papers. well I guess you'll just have to read the book for yourself to find out

Summary: Lessons from the Grand Master
Comment: I really enjoyed "What About Me?," a story book by Ed Young. The introductory note states that the tale "is rooted in the Sufi tradition" of the Middle East. The story opens, "Once there was a boy who wanted knowledge, but he did not know how to gain it." He seeks the wisdom of a Grand Master. However, the boy must go through quite a process before the Grand Master's two lessons are revealed. Young's illustrations are packed full of color and detail; his artwork is warm and often whimsical. Young has a particular talent for creating unique characters with visual art.

Summary: COLORFUL COLLAGES AND A MORAL
Comment: No one creates colorful, eye-popping collages like the very, very popular artist Ed Young. He's the winner of three Caldecott awards; "Seven Blind Mice" is an all time favorite. The cut-paper collages in his latest book are, indeed, works of art.
Once again, Mr. Young returns to an ancient fable for inspiration in this story of a little boy who wanted only one thing: knowledge. 'I shall see a Grand Master," he concluded. The Grand Master responded that the boy needed to bring him a small carpet for his work.
When the boy located a carpetmaker, the artisan replied that he needed thread. A spinner woman cannot provide him with thread without goat hair to make the thread and the goatkeeper cannot give him goat hair without goats. All of these people say, "What about me?"
Will the boy ever manage to satisfy everyone and get himself a little knowledge at the same time? There's a lot to learn from this Middle Eastern fable, and much enjoyment to be found in Mr. Young's art.
