Book Desription
Written in 1848, this beloved hymn celebrating the wonders of Creation is given new life in Anna Vojtech's glowing interpretation. Lushly detailed paintings follow two children and their frisky pup through a bucolic landscape of meadows, hills, rivers, streams, and woods. Throughout the seasons, the youngsters explore and enjoy the wealth of treasures to be found — things bright and beautiful, great and small, wise and wonderful, the glory of it all.
Author Biography
Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) was born in Ireland. She began writing verse at an early age. She was influenced by Dr. Hook, Dean of Chichester, and subsequently by John Keble, who edited her Songs for Little Children, in which "All Things Bright and Beautiful" first appeared. She published numerous religious tracts and hymns as well as several volumes of poetry for adults and children. Anna Vojtech was born in Prague, in what is now the Czech Republic. She has worked as an editor, an illustrator, a film animator, and a set designer. She lives with her family in Magnolia, Massachusetts.

Publishers Weekly
Alexander's beloved 1848 ode to the natural wonders of God's creation receives a fresh treatment via Vojtech's (Over the Meadow) expansive watercolor paintings in this handsome, square-format book. As the seasons change, two children and their dog hike over hill and dale, frolic in a meadow and build a snowman, all the while admiring the flora and fauna. Each spread is wall-to-wall color, introducing a verse couplet and a wide-angle panorama, usually featuring the kids in action. An equally detailed border around the compositions extends the text to a mouse family's point of view. From those two varying perspectives, bees buzz, flowers wave in the wind, apples ripen. Using a predominantly sunny palette, Vojtech offers a cast of slightly anthropomorphic creatures (smiling bears and mice) joined by more realistic renderings of birds, insects and plants. Intriguingly, not all spreads show simultaneous events. For example, the spread illustrating "The cold wind in the winter,/ The pleasant summer sun" features a pond; the left half shows children skating and playing in snow, while the right half depicts the kids embracing puppies, a mother duck and ducklings paddling in the pond and robins singing in a blossoming tree. On the following spread ("The ripe fruits in the garden/ He made them every one"), the left page returns to the same pond site in summer, the right page in fall, when the children harvest apples from the tree. This inviting portrait of the great outdoors is perfect for perusing-and may even prompt youngsters to commit Alexander's words to memory.
Children's Literature
From sun-colored endpapers to glowing watercolors, following two children and a dog through landscapes of meadows and mountains, summer and winter, night and day, this is indeed a bright and beautiful journey. The pictures illustrate the familiar hymn written by Mrs. Alexander, wife of a bishop of the establishment Church of Ireland, and meant to explain to children the first statement of the Apostle's Creed. The more one learns about its circumstances, the more ironic seems its message. Celebrating the beauty of earth's creatures and seasons with sublime faith, it appeared in the momentous year of 1848 when Ireland was in the grip of the Great Famine and Europe was writhing in the throes of revolution. One stanza, omitted here, asserted: "The rich man in his castle, / the poor man at his gate, / God made them high and lowly / And ordered their estate." Many starving and suffering children must have been far removed from such a serene expression of a sunny, well-ordered universe. Well, it was intended for a select audience of another day and if we can delete that stanza and concentrate on the creatures (curving dragonflies, a scarlet cardinal, a kingfisher with its catch) and the wonders of nature (brilliant sunflowers, plump strawberries, "purple-headed mountains"), we can appreciate Czech-born painter Vojtech's lavish depiction of "all things wise and wonderful" and allow parents to decide whether to ignore or emphasize the doctrinal message. Children can revel in the lush details and wait until later to investigate the history. 2004, North-South
School Library Journal
All the verses to Alexander's familiar hymn are illustrated by Heyer's drawings. Her use of felt-tipped pens makes for richly colored illustrations, but they do little to the expand the meaning of the words. There seems to be no unified theme or mood to them--``the sunset and the morning/ That brightens up the sky'' is accompanied by penguins and a pink/purple/blue skyline; the next line ``The cold wind in the winter,/ The pleasant summer sun'' is illustrated by howling wolves and a desert landscape. The purpose of a single illustrated volume of any familiar poem would seem to be to explore the layers of that work, and not to provide a convenient vehicle for an illustrator's talent. Alexander's words are better served by listening to the hymn itself. --Kathleen Whalin, Belfast Public Library, ME
