'The Rich Man's Journey: A tale of Adventure and Friendship was written by Alison Pitt. This is a storybook story about a man, a lonely man named Edward Theodore Marmaduke de'Casagrande, who was very rich as well. Edward did have friends when he was known as Eddie Bighouse but Edward changed with money. Edward builds a mode of travel, leaves a letter and begins a journey of self-discovery. The pictures throughout the storybook were quite imaginative with a lot of blues and greens.

The Blue Tit Travels Africa
'The Blue Tit Travels Africa' is a children's picture written and illustrated by Astra about a small bird. What a way to travel. This is quite the picture book to teach about nature and geography. This bird wants to learn more about other animals in her travels. This is the first of series of books for preschoolers. The pictures are realistic and vivid and will peek one's interests even if to see which animal she meets that is different from herself. If used in a preschool classroom the teacher could write the animal names on the blackboard or on chart paper and learn to pronounce each of them and maybe even have the children 'write' them on some blank paper.

A Green Hairy Thing Wearing Dad's Old Vest
'A Green Hairy Thing Wearing Dad's Old Vest' is a children's picture book written by Jennifer Coville. We can dream anything in our dreams? This is the story that is to me written as a poem and uses all her interests in writing in this story about a little boy who has an adventure that takes him to unknown places, but interesting ones that seem to have familiar things. It is also a story that will 'teach' various skills in an enjoyable way in a quite modern story.
