WHO IS COMING TO OUR HOUSE?

Written by Joseph Slate and Illustrated by Ashley Wolff
Available through Putnam and Grosset Group ISBN 0-698-11415-9

zzz I have gone on to do four more books about Miss Bindergarten with Joe Slate since this was published. This book is illustrated with my hand-tinted linoleum block prints. It is a Christmas tale of animals rushing to prepare the stable for the arrival of Mary and Joseph. In a starred review, Kirkus said it was "a lovely addition to the Christmas canon". 1988




ONLY THE CAT SAW

Written and Illustrated by Ashley Wolff
Available from Walker & Co. Paperback ISBN 0-8027 7488-1

zzz A perennial favorite, this story is illustrated in full-color acrylic paintings and tells of the things only a cat sees when a little girl and her family pass the night in their New England farmhouse. It was chosen for revival by Chinaberry Books and is one of their Chinaberry classics. 1985



HOME SWEET HOME

Written by Jean Marzollo
and Illustrated by Ashley Wolff

Available through
Harper Collins
Hardcover ISBN 0-06-027562-6 Paperback 0-06-443501-6

zzz From the tiniest worker ant to the whales deep in the ocean, everything on earth has a place to call home. This gentle, beautiful poem, from the author of the I Spy series, celebrates the universal love of family and belonging. I illustrated this with a new style of painting that resembles a lino-cut but allows a more versatile approach. 1997




GOODY O'GRUMPITY

Written by Carol Ryrie Brink
and Illustrated by Ashley Wolff
Available through North-South Books
Hardcover ISBN 1-55858-327-0 Paperback ISBN 1-55858-614-8

zzz Again using my signature hand-tinted linoleum block prints, I set Brink's classic poem in colonial Plymouth Plantation, where Goody O'Grumpity bakes a spice cake full of the most flavorful ingredients.
zzz In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called the art "stunning" and the poem "timeless and lilting". 1994
