Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Inspired by a Woody Guthrie song, Caldecott Medalist Taback (Joseph Had a Little Overcoat) crafts a terrific and touching book. Someone special in the life of his narrator, an urban girl, is far away (the person and his/her relationship remain unspecified). So she concocts a plan to "send myself your way" courtesy of the U.S. Mail. "I'm going to jump inside a nice big box," she declares, "I don't care what you say/ I'll write your address on the front/ I miss you every day./ Please take me to the post office/ They will sort me on my way/ I'll jump into a mailbag/ I miss you every day." Having successfully arrived at her destination (with $1.18 postage due), the girl promises that all she'll need is a bath, supper, some candy, and a bedtime cuddle with a good book to know that "everything will be O.K." The naïve exuberance characteristic of Taback's art is very much in evidence here, from the colored, hand-lettered text to the puckish scale. But while the girls's braids, hands and pink-and-green sneakers poke through the girl-as-package, Taback has dialed back considerably his customary goofy visual asides. In doing so, he enables audiences to focus their attention on the girl's yearning and determination, and he assures them that their constancy still counts in a highly mobile world. In a savvy design element, an envelope affixed to the title spread holds an card insert-a perfect pocket for a gift card, too. Ages 6-up. (Sept.)

Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Children's Literature
Rhymed couplets, each ending with the title refrain, describe how much a young girl in New Jersey misses someone in California. She misses the person so much that she wraps herself up in a package and mails herself across the country. We follow the package from post office to airplane to delivery in a mailbox with "postage yet to pay." But after a bath and supper, tuck-in and story, "everything will be OK." The very simple story is overloaded with fun and details beginning on the endpapers, which are crowded with childlike drawings and greetings. The title page even has an attached envelope with a picture and message inside. The deceptively childlike illustrations are produced with ink line and opaque paint; the process of self-mailing is depicted in a lively and literal way. There are touches of humor throughout, even in the windows of the airplane. The happy ending includes favorite picture books on the bed of the sleeping heroine.

Kirkus Reviews
Taback's trademark illustrations bring to life the adventure of a young New Jersey girl who mails herself across the country. Along the way, youngsters will subtly learn the workings of the postal system as they follow her vivid green high-top sneakers. Emily Ann misses someone she loves very much. So much, in fact, that she wraps and decorates herself as a present, gets in a box and ships herself off to California, where she finds comfort in the simple routines of childhood: dinner, a bath, a treat and stories at bedtime. Taback's vibrant colors and humorous details will delight young children. Gentle rhyming couplets add to the emotion of the simple story, and the lack of punctuation suits Emily Ann's impulsiveness. While visual clues at the end point to a father as the missed loved one, the tale is open-ended enough to suit many long-distance relationships. This will likely open the door for a conversation about how they can keep in touch with loved ones who are far away. (Picture book. 3-7)

    Send to All Your Friends and Family

    We LOVE this book and have bought it for all of our family and even some friends 'whoever our two-year old is missing'. It's a beatiful rhyming tale that our son has practically memorized from reading so much. We tuck a little picture of our son and the recipient in the envelope that's inside the front cover and that's a huge hit in itself. My sister tells me that our three-year old nephew, who lives across the country, loves to pull out the photo each time he reads the story and point out on the illustration that he lives in a house in Denver and his cousin lives in an apartment in New York City.
