About the Author

Iza Trapani
Author/Illustrator

Iza Trapani came to America from Warsaw, Poland, with her mother when she was just seven years old.

Always fascinated with children's literature, Iza loves to explore the pure simplicity of words matched with charming illustrations in her own work. As a child, Iza spent hours immersed in the magical world of picture books, and as an adult Iza will still sit and giggle with Dr. Seuss's books.

Through her wondrous stories like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Iza proudly shares a part of herself with children. Her detailed illustrations and charming characters tell stories that teach as well as delight and touch young readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF IZA'S BEST BOOKS--DEFINITELY THE MOST ADVENTUROUS!, January 19, 2001

This review is from: I'm a Little Teapot (Paperback)

I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT is delightful--another winner by the great Iza Trapani!

Here are the adventures that the children (brother and sister) share with the Little Teapot: 1) flying a dragon kite as they row their boat to China; 2) the kids keep score as the little matadour teapot fights the bull in Mexico; 3) the little teapot is a spaceship and takes the kids to another planet and they are astronauts and meet an alien "eye to eye"; 4) the little teapot takes them to the opera and she plays in the orchestra while the kids are the opera singers; 5) the kids are pirates and the little teapot is the sailing ship on a windy day; 6) the kids and the little teapot go horsebackriding together all on one horse, with lots of hound dogs on a fox hunt; 7) and the final adventure is a game of hide-and-go-seek in the jungle! 8) The ending with a big tea party is perfect!

What I love best about this book, besides Iza's consistently amazing illustrations, are the adventures! I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT ENCOURAGES YOUR CHILD'S CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION and even better still, it ENCOURAGES YOUR CHILD to be like the Little Teapot and SHARE/EXPRESS HIS/HER DREAMS! In my opinion, what makes a book great is if it can succeed in teaching a lesson while being fun at the same time! This book does just that! It doesn't get any better than this-- I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

SHARE YOUR DREAMS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchantea-ing!, July 14, 1999

This review is from: I'm a Little Teapot (Hardcover)

I received this book as a graduation gift. I am an early childhood educator. This spring I taught a pre-k class, my first class. First we sang and danced to the song and then I read this book. Oh, how my students loved it and couldn't wait to read it again and again. It was an instant favorite. They especially loved the part when they got to find the teapot in the jungle. This is an excellent book for young children.

This review is from: I'm a Little Teapot (Paperback)

I received this book from my dear sister, who teaches 1st/2nd Grade and always finds the best books. This is my favorite book by Iza Trapani, consisting of a familiar tune with the familiar lyrics and fun twist of new lyrics that the illustrations accentuate. This is one of the few books I can read simultaneously to both of my sons (2 1/2 and 4 1/2) without one getting bored or the other losing interest - and that after almost 2 years!! Satisfaction guaranteed!!
