zzz In a cheerful, contemporary version of the tortoise and the hare story, Stella, the older sister, and Roy the younger brother, race around the lake to the popcorn stand on their bicycles. I set this at Stow Lake in my beloved Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and it is based on a real afternoon outing with my two boys.

Horn Book called it "an exemplary book for young audiences." 1993

STELLA AND ROY GO CAMPING

Written and Illustrated by Ashley Wolff
Available from E.P. Dutton
ISBN 0-525-45864-6

zzz Now a few years older than their former tortoise and hare selves, Stella and Roy are going camping with their mother at Lone Pine Lake. Hoping to see a bear, Roy is ever on the lookout for tracks. But new-reader Stella has her animal- identification book along, and she delights in showing Roy what kind of animals really made the tracks. As in the original Stella and Roy, the more you look, the more you see. Stella and Roy are so busy identifying coyote, marmot, raccoon, deer, skunk, bobcat, and porcupine tracks that they miss all the animals hiding in the underbrush or on rock croppings - but the delighted viewer won’t.

zzzThis colorful sequel to the highly praised Stella and Roy deftly takes young readers and listeners through the changing aspects of an outdoor overnight adventure. Horn Book says: "Fans and followers of these memorable siblings will be happy to hike along with them on their latest outing."

zzz In a starred review, School Library Journal calls
Each Living Thing "a remarkable marriage of spare, poetic text and luminous, detailed paintings."

zzz Publishers Weekly describes the rhyming text as
"both courtly and vivacious, playing on the double entendre of paying attention and caring for all earthly creatures: 'Look out for wriggling worms and creeping snails/ for darting bees who dip among the flowers,/ for streaming ants who streak the dusty trails--please step around their sandy towers.'
