cute

this was a cute story about a brother and a sister at the beach. this is the brother's first time at the beach and he doesn't quite know what to make of the whole thing so he asks his sister a lot of questions about why things are the way they are, which she creatively answers, because of course all older siblings are all knowing and all powerful in the eyes of their younger siblings. one of the questions he asks, for example, is what is a starfish (or something to that effect), to which the sister replies, starfish are falling stars that fell in love with the sea. by the end of the book after they finish talking the sister asks if the brother's coming in the water, and he pauses before yelling out yes and running forward. it's cute. the art is very fun and energetic as well.

OUTSTANDING!

I was introduced to the 'Stella' books by a friend, and what a find they are! The pictures are beautiful to look at, and the little details are wonderful - It's so much fun to find Stella and Sam's pet dog and see what he may be up to. Stella is a 'wise' little girl, her logic is creative and it's really just plain fun to read! (...even more fun because our daughter's name is Stella...She loves to hear these books read out loud!)

Great illustrations!

This is one of my favorites! The artwork is gorgeous and little brother Sam's inquisitive nature is funny. Stella's answers are also quite creative. My daughters really enjoy this one.

FRESH, FUN, & ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE

I just discovered Stella and Sam this weekend and they are now officially my favorite children's characters ever! The brother and sister relationship has never been explored with such sweet simplicity. A worried Sam asks the truly stellar Stella question after question after question, and she answers with pizazz and panache, until Sam can't help but be influenced by her infectious enthusiasm. Their paunchy little-kid stomachs and Stella's flame-red hair are sooooo cute that the book would be worth the buy even for the pictures. Luckily you don't have to compromise - the dialogue makes it difficult to read without laughing aloud and the story flows with a fresh feeling that is completely enjoyable.

Adorable, funny book!

Stella aquaints her little brother, Sam, to "The Sea"--a world to which she is an expert and which adults do not seem to inhabit. He is testing the waters, obviously timid about his first ocean adventure. She is an avid explorer--unafraid to share her waters with fallen stars (starfish) and galloping sea horses. It's worth buying this book just to see the picture of the two fishing off of the pier. Absolutely Adorable!
