School Library Journal
June 1, 2011
Gr 2-6-The titles in this series introduce young viewers to a variety of artists and their work. In this program, Puffer the puffin goes to Florence, Italy, where his friend Polly teaches him about Renaissance artists. Elements of the Renaissance are briefly introduced and then information about Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael is presented. A brief biography of each artist is presented, and two examples of his art are examined in detail. The material in the DVD is based on the book (Crystal Prods., 2010) by Pamela Geiger Stephens. Jim McNeill's soft, computer-generated illustrations are simply animated. There are also photographs of these masterpieces: "5 Grotesque Heads" and "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci; Michelangelo's "Pieta" and "The Creation of Adam" (carefully framed for elementary audiences); and Raphael's "The School of Athens" and "St. George and the Dragon." This simple yet interesting introduction to an important part of our artistic heritage will be embraced by art teachers for use with young students.-Teresa Bateman. Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA

The Horn Book
July 1, 2011
Picking up the series' story in a parallel universe, this book gives familiar characters altered lives. On "Co:per:nica," David Merriman's immense powers stir trouble between the worlds, and the fearsome Ix have slipped through from Earth. Firebirds--not dragons--play a central role (to the dismay of dragon fans), but there's ample action and revelation in this briskly paced fantasy.(Copyright 2011 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
