Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

.,."an altogether delectable picture book, in which Alan and Lea Daniel outdo themselves, driving the story forward through the great good humour and the sheer energy of its illustrations."
-- "The Globe & Mail"

"The colorful pen-and-ink-on-gouache artwork sets the mood and atmosphere for this adventure. The snowy scenes are so realistic that readers will want to pull their sweaters a little closer, and the pictures of young Alice calming the huge beast are totally satisfying. Varied perspectives add to the movement, energy, and excitement of the story."
-- "School Library Journal Reviews"

""Roundup at the Palace" is unique and entertaining, with special appeal for young boys who fancy themselves cowpokes, even if all they own is a big, goofy dog."
--" Curled Up With a Good Kid's Book"

"The winning combination, of exciting text and electrifying illustrations, makes this a great book for individual or group reading."
--" Resource Links"

"The book's supersized illustrations are by Alan and Lea Daniel of Kitchener, whose name on the cover are a leading indicator of the quality work inside."
-- "The Guelph Mercury"

"The illustrations are big, bold and humorous."
Highly Recommended"
-- "CM Magazine"

"This story is that rare thing - a plausible, realistic tale in which the child protagonists solve the problem themselves. The action is beautifully shaped, with the two stories coming together, linked by music. The pace moves smoothly between motion and rest, and the tone, a delicate balance of almost-slapstick and genuine danger, is pitch-perfect. Waldron has fashioned a heart-stopping, funny, moving gem of a story. The author-illustratorcollaboration here is also brilliant. The Daniels create a piece of genuine theatre. . . . The characters became so real to me that I caught myself hoping that Alice's mother and Zack's father might get together."
-- "Quill and Quire"

"Alan and Lea Daniel have filled the pages with colour and motion. The illustrations are lively and leavened with humour. Buster bursts through the pages as he thunders down the street into the hotel. He is larger-than-life. . . "Roundup at the Palace" is an original, entertaining and wholly satisfying story."
-- "Canadian Children's Book News magazine"

"Kathleen Cook Waldron spins a delightful tale. . . "Roundup at the Palace" is a classic urban and cowboy legend, beautifully illustrated and well written. This is a children's book, with a combination of drama, humour and wonderful images."
-- "Mike Puhallo," president of the BC Cowboy Heritage Society (BCCHS)

On the way to the stock show in Denver during a blizzard, Buster the bull escapes from his trailer and ends up in the lobby of the swanky Brown Palace Hotel.
