delightful illustrations reward close attention with clever
details. Recommended for tree-themed story hours, curriculum units,
and art classes, here's a picture book for all seasons."--Booklist
starred review
"The plasticine medium is both inviting and kinetic, inspiring
readers to themselves roll, smear, layer, mix, scratch, and dimple.
The premise here is original; the artistry, stunning. The forty
value-added vignettes on the endpapers make us reluctant to close
the book."--The Horn Book Magazine starred review
"The vibrant pictures will draw in readers, while the text will
encourage them to view the world in a different way."--School
Library Journal
"The Plasticine is expressive, detailed and gestural, with emotions
showing on each face and careful craft in even the tiniest leaf and
twig...Readers will marvel at the amazing details she includes on
each human and animal form."--Kirkus Reviews starred review
