Steven Kellogg Ordre des livres (chronologique)

For more than thirty years, Steven Kellogg has been delighting young readers with his bright, lively books full of feisty imagination and silliness --and always perfectly expressing children's thoughts and dreams. As his friend Helen Hunt says in her introduction to this treasury, Steven's books "give voice and bring humor to the mischievous in all of us." Because of that, Steven Kellogg has become one of our most loved picture book creators.For the first time, here is a treasury of Steven's books, including many of his bestsellers (The Mysterious Tadpole, The Island of the Skog, Jimmy's Boa, Best Friends and others) and several little-known books that have been unavailable for many years. In all, eleven books are included--eleven gems to pore over again and again. And as an added bonus, there is also a biographical profile of Steven, complete with many photos and even some never-before-seen sketches. This is a compendium for every child--those who already love Steven Kellogg's books, and those who are soon to love them.

Louis's Scottish uncle brings him the birthday gift of a tadpole, plucked right out of Loch Ness. But it soon becomes clear that this "tadpole" is not turning into an ordinary frog!

The Mysterious Tadpole , with its giddy mix of fantasy, adventure, and high humor, is one of Steven Kellogg's most popular books. It was an ALA Notable, an IRA-CBC Children's Choice, and won the Irma Simonton Black Award. For its anniversary, Steven has reworked aspects of the story and has created entirely new artwork in the bright, bold colors that weren't reproducible twenty-five years ago. He discusses why he wanted to revise the book in a lively author's note.
