Halt!” At last Bruno reaches his destination, an ice-cream parlor that reveals his true love (and the title's double meaning)."--Publishers Weekly –"This graphic novel in picture-book format is...[a] clever caper [that] includes many amusing visual details for the easy-reader set and for graphic-novel fans."--School Library Journal PRAISE FOR BARBARA LEHMAN The Red Book – A Caldecott Honor Book – An ALA Notable Book – A New York Times Bestseller – A Junior Library Guild Selection – Starred review in SLJ (star) "Captures the magical possibility that exists ever time readers open a book." —School Library Journal, starred review Museum Trip – Great New York Times Book Review, 11/12/06 – A CCBC Best-Book-of-the-Year – A 2007 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book (star) “A winning picture book that blurs real and imagined worlds.” –Booklist, starred review Rainstorm – ALA Notable Book – 3 starred reviews (Kirkus, PW, SLJ) – A Junior Library Guild Selection – A Kirkus Best Book of the Year – A New York Public Library’s selection for the 100 TITLES FOR READING AND SHARING (2007) (star) "Leman compacts a wealth of storytelling into her wordless narrative.
