A Review of ON THE MORN OF MAYFEST

Copyright 1999 by Lynne Remick

Written by Erica Silverman and Illustrated by Marla Frazee A Children's Picture Book, Ages 4 - 8 (Available) 7 of 10 / ISBN No. 0-689-80674-4

A sleepwalking lass with hair like a nest encounters many colorful and entertaining persons and animals while she roams the streets of a Medieval village...on the morn of Mayfest.

This picture book is engaging, with a fun, repetitive rhyme by Silverman and charmingly amusing illustrations by Frazee.

For children's writers, you should note that Silverman has taken the tried and true method of the accumulative rhymes pattern and used it in a fresh and unusual way to bring us this delightful picture book, which has an unsuspected twist for a surprise at the end.

Erica Silverman has written many popular books for children and was one of the Author/Lecturers at the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Spring Conference.

This book is available at your local bookstore or at Amazon.com.
