Angels, Angels Everywhere

October 1, 2005
PreS -In this sweet tribute, dePaola has created a visual story of the important role these celestial beings play in our everyday lives. Beginning with -the wake up angel - and concluding with -the goodnight angel, - a host of heavenly friends accompanies a variety of children to school, to the playground, and to a tea party. The children also enjoy visits at home from -the kitchen angel, - -the pet angel, - -the popcorn angel, - and -the babysitting angel. - The charming images, deftly drawn in rich pastel shades, convey a sense of happiness and well-being. The smiling, round-faced youngsters cheerfully go about their activities while the hovering angels lend a helping hand. Each picture is framed by a stylized border and includes the name of the appropriate angel at the bottom. A pleasant addition to most collections." -Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA"
