About the Author:
Sam McBratney is the author of the best-selling and enormously popular picture book GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, illustrated by Anita Jeram, which was a PARENTING Reading Magic Award winner, a CHILD Best Children's Book, and an American Library Association Notable Children's Book, in addition to receiving many other awards and honors. He says, "I told my children stories when they were young, so when I write, I try to think of what they would have liked."
Ivan Bates debuted as an illustrator with his art for Sam McBratney's THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, which Booklist, in a starred review, called "appealing" and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY deemed "endearing." Of JUST YOU AND ME, he says, "I had to spend a lot of time with geese. It was rather like guerrilla warfare. I had to stay well away from them, hiding in the bushes, or they would hiss at me. I had to take my photographs with a very long lens."
From School Library Journal:
Ivan Bates debuted as an illustrator with his art for Sam McBratney's THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, which Booklist, in a starred review, called "appealing" and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY deemed "endearing." Of JUST YOU AND ME, he says, "I had to spend a lot of time with geese. It was rather like guerrilla warfare. I had to stay well away from them, hiding in the bushes, or they would hiss at me. I had to take my photographs with a very long lens."
PreSchool-KAA storm is approaching and Big Gander Goose and Little Goosey need somewhere to hide. Each place they find is already occupied by another animal and though they are asked in, Little Goosey whispers, "I don't want anybody else when the thunder comes. Just me and you." With quiet understanding, the adult goose declines each invitation and the two birds eventually nestle together under a bush. What is most important in this repetitive story is the connection between Big Gander Goose and Little Goosey. It speaks to a small child's desire for exclusiveness with a parent or caregiver. The watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations support this connection, often showing Little Goosey peeking from behind the gander or snuggled up to his breast or against his outstretched wing. A comforting story to share at bedtime.AKaren James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
