DESCRIPTION:
Lani Yamamoto studied psychology and comparative theology and worked as a film editor in Boston. . She now lives in Reykjavik with her husband and two children
Ever since Albert’s sister was born, people keep telling him what a big boy he is. But then again, he also can be smaller than a sunflower and he is much, much smaller than the sky so is he big or is he small? Albert³ is a delightfully simple, yet sophisticated look into fundamental philosophical questions. The book's unaffected, child-like artwork makes learning enjoyable for young readers.. But how big is he really? He is definitely bigger than the ants in the garden, and he seems to be bigger than an airplane flying above his head
When there's nothing left to do, he considers his place in the world ("If I am in my houseand my house is in the streetin the town"), which leads him to the final scene, a space journey. This pared-down version of reflections like Margery Cuyler's From Here to There (Holt, 1999) offers opportunity for older readers to ponder the universe, but the shard of a plot may be too little for those who need more concrete action. - Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

"Book at Bedtime turns into Question Time!" according to Alex Burke. I was lucky enough to find this great little book on Amazon. We usually let our kids pick the books they want us to read when they go to sleep, and Albert has been selected quite often in recent weeks. And every time we finish reading Albert - we are bombarded with questions. They are falling asleep a bit later than usual - with a lot of unanswered questions in their heads. I can highly recommend Albert.. Giuliana Benedicty said Fresh and honest. I have purchased the book for every new child I know. The pictures have enough detail to involve the young ones and the simple question of the book instigates interaction from the older audience(including myself). I debated giving the books away. Very refreshing compared to most books that have the same stories hashed out over and over again.. SunshineAndRain said Fun and thought-proviking. Albert is one of those rare books that is both fun and thought-provoking. After I read it to my boys, my younger son wanted to build a cardboard-box rocketship and my older son wanted to talk about our place in the universe. At every level, this is a satisfying book.
