The Quicksand Book has one annoying thing - all caps!  2005-09-06
The nickname I use for internet is StoryMaker and The Quicksand Book is a great book and it tells you about quicksand while following the storyline of Jungle Boy rescuing - err, blabbing about quicksand - to Jungle Girl. Only, one thing is 1 starsworth annoying so I knocked a star off my 5 star rating. It's all caps, caps, caps! Nearly all of the letters are capital letters (uppercase). OK, buy it unless you're super annoyed by all caps! Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
Clever!  2000-04-05
Tomie de Paola, a talented and prolific author perhaps best known for Strega Nona, has another winner here. The text is clear, packed with information, and humorous. DePaola keeps his young readers diverted by using a fictional device: a little girl is sinking in quicksand while a boy proceeds to lecture on the subject-- at length-- until the last minute. Of course, she gets her revenge in the end and the readers are lefted wiser and happier. I wish more children's nonfiction authors would appreciate how much information children will sit still for -- even enjoy -- if it is presented imaginatively.
