Books with author Roy Rockwell

Ladybug, ladybug do you know me? My thorns are prickly, but my blossoms are soft. I am a rose. This is a garden of a book--filled with the scents, textures, colors, and shapes of the first flowers young children notice. Featuring a striking design that pairs a vivid silk-screen illustration of a flower with a simple riddle. 00 Kansas Bill Martin, Jr. Picture Book Award Masterlist

Here is the perfect companion volume to Anne Rockwell's beloved The Three Bears and 15 Other Stories. This delightful collection of traditional tales and fables includes "The Three Sillies," "The Bremen Town Musicians," "The Fox and the Crow," "The Tortoise and the Hare," as well as "The Old Woman and Her Pig." Fresh, amusingly detailed watercolor illustrations light up every page. Anne Rockwell, distinguished author-artist of many popular picture-story books, has created an original yet classic treasury of simple, appealing retellings which will be enjoyed and shared by grown-ups and children alike.

A fascinating and accurate look at different kinds of trucks and what they do, Anne Rockwell's simplified text and detailed illustrations will captivate readers as her cast of cats move, tow, and carry different items throughout the city. Truck lovers will be delighted to recognize and identify the familiar vehicles they see in their own neighborhoods every day.

Ocean ferries, harbor ferries, river ferries, lake ferries--even children who don't live near one often experience them while on vacation. As she did with air travel in I Fly, Anne Rockwell shows children what to expect when going on a ferry for the first time. In simple, straightforward language, a young girl describes her ferryboat ride as she travels to her summer island home. Cars and trucks rattle onto the boat, a forklift brings heavy cartons aboard, and the girl explains the various parts of the ferry. As the engine below deck starts to rumble and throb, the captain blows his whistle and steers the ferry carefully out of the harbor. Once underway, the girl watches the water, feeds the gulls, and peers through the fog as the foghorn blasts, waiting for a glimpse of the island. Full-color illustrations by Maggie Smith (This Is Your Garden) are filled with fun and informative details. By the time the ferry pulls up to the island pier, readers will long to find a ferry of their own to ride.
