"A
fresh, upbeat concept book. Lizards, giraffes, toucans, butterflies are available
for countingif only they'll hold still long enough! Fuchsias and oranges,
teals and purples roll over the pages blending into each other in Fleming's
beautiful couched paper with hand-cut stencil illustrations. Her explosions
of color and motion are captivating and energizing. When the text says, ``Wiggle,
worms!,'' readers can see them slithering right off the page
The more children
who Count! under the influence of this title's breezy mood, the better. Very
bright, very hip!" School Library Journal

"Soup's on in this tummy-tempting concept book. A very hungry mouse nibbles and crunches his way through the various components of a vegetarian repast, while the text introduces readers to the individual foods and their respective colors. Fleming's pulp painting technique drenches each page with vibrant hues. A black and white checked tablecloth appears throughout, further punching up the color contrasts-shiny red apples stand out, even on a red background. Bon appetit!" Publisher's Weekly

" Strong rhythm and rhyme, plus fun onomatopoeic animal sounds, demand reading aloud. But even more delightful than the engaging text are Fleming's spectacular illustrations, created by pouring cotton pulp through hand-cut stencils. They create realistically textured, bold, bright settings for the whimsical critters to romp through. Intimate perspectives make Barnyard Banter one more plus to Fleming's already impressive collection." School Library Journal

Where Once There Was a Wood ©1996
ALA
Notable Book 1996
"Already a favorite of preschoolers, Fleming
takes an appreciation
of the natural world a giant step further. Rhythmic verse
demonstrates
that there was another sort of community before people arrived
An ecology
lesson it surely is, but it's also a celebration of the earth and its creatures.
Illustrations in vivid jewel-and-earth tones appear on handmade paper; the woods,
creeks, and meadows are clean and inviting, and, bringing balance to the presentation,
the new houses are not without their charms. The
lively back matter, titled "Welcome Wildlife to Your Backyard Habitat," offers
substantial, easily executed suggestions for encouraging wildlife around the
home; it's information just right for family and classroom sharing. Perfect
for Earth Day observances, a book that's as welcome as spring." Kirkus

Charlotte Zolotow Award Highly Commended Title
"If winter's in the air, hibernation can't be far behind. So when Bear senses a change of season, she thoughtfully reminds her friends and neighbors of their impending naps in this gentle introduction to fall's cycle. Fleming's simple text is ripe with astute observations of the natural world and animal behavior. As in her previous titles (In the Small, Small Pond, Where Once There Was a Wood) Fleming's "pulp painting" style results in lushly textured handmade paper compositions saturated with earthy browns, reds and golds."

"As Mama cat leads her kittens through a garden adventure, Fluffy and Skinny
carefully follow her example (cleaning paws, chasing leaves) while Boris naps.
The surprise comes when Boris is ready to frolic and the others are too exhausted
to play. Preschoolers will request repeat readings of this delightful story
and enjoy searching for the smaller creatures found on each page. Fleming's
kittens, created by pouring colored cotton pulp through hand-cut stencils, are
large and bold and set against colorful backdrops. An excellent choice for reading
aloud to groups." School Library Journal

"All
eyes in a Halloween story hour will be riveted to this stellar story of trick-or-treaters
enjoying the deliciously scary nature of this special night. images of eyes
peek out throughout the story with golden cat eyes, lighted windows in houses,
and the pie-shaped eyes of jack-o'-lanterns looming on oversized pages.…Each
double-page spread has a rhyming couplet set in huge white type, relating a
pitch-perfect story full of heart-pounding excitement ("toes curl, heads swirl,
things bump, hearts thump")
for those who celebrate Halloween in all its
spooky glory, this story seems destined to become an essential read-aloud for
October story hours. " Kirkus Reviews

Stared review in Publisher's Weekly:
"if you’re a fan of Denise Fleming, well, you’re in luck, because her new title about the bopping of beetles in your backyard completely delivers in all the wonderful ways that Fleming never fails to wow readers: The book sings with her rhythmic, alliterative, onomatopoeic text (”Buzzing beetles, humming beetles, steadily drumming beetles”) and her bold, bright, bustling illustrations"
