Sugaring Time by Kathryn Lasky
In lyrical prose and black-and-white photographs, Lasky's book depicts the Lacey family of Vermont making maple syrup . . . A rare kind of nonfiction, informative yet as easily read as fiction. (School Library Journal) Some of the pictures will take your breath away.--The New York Times Book Review. Newbery Honor Book; ALA Notable Children's Book; the Horn Book Fanfare List.

Matthew Trueman spent his childhood in Italy but returned to the United States to attend art school. He is the illustrator of A PICTURE FOR MARC and NOAH'S MITTENS. He lives in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
Of ONE BEETLE TOO MANY, he says: The illustrations in this book started out as drawings created with acrylic inks, watercolor, and graphite pencil. I moved up the food chain to add gouache and colored pencil. After sealing the pictures with acrylic medium, I did my thicker acrylic painting, then fooled around a little more with graphite and colored pencil. Finally, I added the collage elements, including paper, string, and weeds and wildflowers from my yard and nearby ditches and fields.
