A picture book for young readers, Ralph and his family come alive with the wonderful words of author Paula Baysinger Morhardt and the delightful illustrations of Kim Hanzo. Suitable for ages 3 to 7 years. REVIEWS: "I have grown children and certainly watched them go through some of the same battles that Mrs. Longears is living through. I found the book to be compassionate and absolutely relatable when it comes to raising little ones, and the pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to Ralph and his mischief! I can absolutely see sharing this with future grandchildren.I was also a special education paraprofessional for 10 years, working with kids who ranged from preschool, up to 4th grade. I have sat in on many classrooms while teachers read to their kids, and I truly believe this book should be on all of their shelves."Tina L. - Austin, MN "A very relatable story for siblings. Ralph seems to be looking for attention! Typical behavior sometimes for brothers, and sisters! I think most will enjoy his story of mischief!"Marie K. - Austin, MN "The kiddos and I enjoyed the book very much. I loved the everyday-in-the-life of a child-concept and the kiddos, age 3 to 7, enjoyed it, too. It's also a very relatable story for them to identify with. We all have bad days and get into trouble from time to time and this was a great way to lead into that discussion. We all loved the illustrations."Sue D. - Austin, MN "If you like bunnies and have a brother or sister you will like this book. I feel for Ralph- it's not always easy to behave. I think other kids will relate, too. I can't wait to share with my friends."Evangeline age 4 - Oakdale, MN
The Fox Woman is a powerful first novel, singing with lyrical prose and touching the deepest emotions. A historically accurate fantasy, it gives us a glimpse into, and an understanding of, the history that shaped the people of one of our world's greatest nations. But it is also a story about people trying to understand each other and the times they live in, people trying to see through illusions to confront the truth of who they are. Kij Johnson has created an achingly beautiful love story, a fable wrapped in smoke and magic set against the fabric of ancient Japan. Johnson brings the setting lovingly to life, describing a world of formalities and customs, where the exchange of poetry is a form of conversation and everything has meaning, from the color of the silks on wears to how one may address others. Yoshifuji is a man fascinated by foxes, a man discontented and troubled by the meaning of life. A misstep at court forces him to retire to his long-deserted country estate, to rethink his plans and contemplate the next move that might return him to favor and guarantee his family's prosperity. Kitsune is a young fox who is fascinated by the large creatures that have suddenly invaded her world. She is drawn to them and to Yoshifuji. She comes to love him and will do anything to become a human woman to be with him. Shikujo is Yoshifuji's wife, ashamed of her husband, yet in love with him and uncertain of her role in his world. She is confused by his fascination with the creatures of the wood, and especially the foxes that she knows in her heart are harbingers of danger. She sees him slipping away and is determined to win him back from the wild...for all that she has her own fox-related secret.Magic binds them all. And in the making (and breaking) of oaths and honors, the patterns of their lives will be changed forever.
