The illustrations are detailed and intentionally busy in places. The text, especially the map directions, is descriptive and utilizes a wide vocabulary. Points of interest are featured, as well as warnings about dangers to avoid and items to find hidden in the map. Readers must consult the key to figure out how long a munchkin mile is and how to recognize the pebble road as compared to the yellow brick road. Each map is set against an quadrant grid (can you find the Jolly Roger at A4?) and a compass to provide directional context is placed in the corner. Hennessy and Joyce have created a playfully illustrated book to help kids practice map reading. Can you follow the directions to navigate your way through each of the six lands? Can you avoid all the perils and find all the hidden objects? Fly to Neverland with Peter Pan, skip down the yellow brick road with Dorothy, fall down the rabbit hole to Wonderland, climb the beanstalk to the Giant’s kingdom, see the sights at the market in Aladdin’s kingdom, and enjoy the lush greenery of the Enchanted Forest where Snow White and the seven dwarves live. You can read more about me at my website: This book provides maps for tours of six enchanted lands. Some of my books have been translated into German, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Tswana, Sesotho, and Zulu! You can find my books in the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Germany.
My books have been published in many countries and in many different languages.
But I didn’t begin to write until I had children of my own. The combination of form and content in the picture book format fascinated me and after graduation I headed for NYC where I worked for 17 years in children’s book publishing as a designer and art director. I also took courses in Children’s Literature. Lawrence University in upstate New York.Īt the University of Wisconsin in Madison, I majored in fine art and learned how to design, print and bind handmade books. I’ve lived in many places: I grew up in Wantagh on Long Island, N.Y., graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts and attended St. I still remember certain illustrations, covers and bindings from books that were read to me as a young girl. As a child I loved to draw-but I also loved books, especially picture books.
