《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
K-Gr 3-Children are encouraged to look for angels in the natural world through brief, lyrical vignettes and glorious collage art. Some of the hidden pictures are fun and inventive, such as a sea angel made of shells. Others are more confusing, such as the butterfly angel (well, is it a butterfly or an angel? Literal-minded children will surely want to know). But eventually the game palls. It's hard to see anything in the collages of leaves or pile of vegetables except the vibrant colors and interesting shapes of the objects themselves. There is an occasional felicitous phrase ("...a patchwork stitched by the quick steps of blackbirds"), and an accompanying collage at times forms a wonderful juxtaposition of textures. However, on the whole, this book is less than the sum of its parts. What exactly is the point of an angel made of rocks on the ground? A trend has become a gimmick in this ethereal bit of fluff.-Patricia Lothrop-Green, St. George's School, Newport, RI (c) Copyright 2010.

出版社周刊评论
All the world is a Rorschach test in this imagination-stretching look at nature. In a series of brief scenarios, Turner (Shaker Hearts) describes her sightings of various "angels" in the wild. From Wood Angels (made of "leaves and nuts/ and pinecone petals") to Milkweed Angels ("Wind teased black seeds out,/ each a tiny flier/ in the sky"), she encourages readers to see the delicate, the unexpected, the wondrous. In a superb complement, Ehlert's (Hands; Color Zoo) vibrant multimedia collages combine colors, shapes and textures to compose an intricate visual landscape that begs for exploration. Cool gray stones, fiery autumn leaves and skate-scraped pond ice are among the settings she poetically recreates. The jacket image of an enormous sunflower wearing a subtly discernible smile is particularly cheery. An artist's note at the end offers some facts about the various plants and elements that inspired the illustrations. Ages 4-8. (June) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

A poetic text encourages readers to find angel shapes in the natural world around us: in sunflowers, wood, milkweed, fire, ice, etc. The angels in Ehlert's collages, made mostly of cut paper, but also including wood grains and natural fibers, are sometimes quite subtle; the images are varied and rich. The whole approach inspires the investigation and appreciation of nature. From HORN BOOK Fall 1998, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Kirkus评论
A fanciful conceit brought to fruition by Turner's poetic text and Ehlert's signature illustrations. Turner writes about the angels that may be found in the faces of sunflowers, or in the silvered pattern of wood on an old barn. Everyone has made snow angels, but what about hay angels? Both are here. Butterflies are angelic naturals in a sky ``blue as paint.'' The words are simple and limpidly clear as they trace angels through the seasons, accompanied by Ehlert's rich layers of paper collage. Her vegetables seem edible, her milkweed angels and cloud angels marvels of tactile artistry. Readers will search for an angel wing in the shape of fire or an angel face on a rain-wet stone. Occasionally the thin sans-serif typeface fades into the fabulous, full-page, full- bleed pages, but this is fine to read aloud and to pore over. An artist's pictorial note makes plainand fascinatingthe materials used. (Picture book. 4-8)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 5^-7. Stubby, winged angels smile and peek out through Ehlert's painted paper collages, hiding within sunflowers, beach flotsam, milkweed fluff, dim shapes beneath a pond's surface, and, of course, clouds. Turner's short, simply phrased poems show readers how to look for them ("I find a pile / of leaves and nuts / and pinecone petals / scattered together--/ small faces / hiding in the wild wood"), and with each turn of the page, they hide a bit better, until only part of a wing's contour or a gleam of eyes give them away. Though a typeface that is all thin lines is not the best choice for text superimposed on variegated, brightly colored backgrounds, this inventive use of the angel fad shows off Ehlert's unique skill with closely observed form and color as it invites children to stretch their imaginations in a hunt for patterns beneath the natural world's surface. --John Peters
