Three New (Kids) Books We Like

Shackleton's Journey

by William Grill

This is one of the most beautifully illustrated picture books we've seen in a long time. It's no surprise, coming from the brilliant minds at Flying Eye Books, that this epic story of adventure and survival is so perfectly captured.

Training Tallulah

by Rosie Reeve

Tom, the cat, and Tallulah, the girl, get all mixed up in this classic tale of cat and... girl. As Tallulah improves her understanding of Cat, Tom improves his understanding of Human, with charming results. A must read for the feline-loving child in your life.

Sparky

by Jenny Offill

What kind of pet do you get if your mom says no pets that require walking, bathing, or feeding? A sloth, of course. Jenny Offil's picture book delights. With wonderfully textured illustrations by Chris Appelhans.

Book of the Month: The Plover

Each month, we select a brand new book that we love so much that we guarantee you'll love it too -- and if you don't, we'll give you your money back.This month we recommend The Plover by Brian Doyle.

I am not generally one to be drawn to novels that can be described as “magical” or “mystical,” and especially not “feel-good,” but all of those words can be applied to The Plover, along with “salty,” and even “brilliant.” The Plover is the simple story of a man getting onto his little boat and heading out to sea to escape the world, but the world follows him out and keeps him company. It is a beautiful novel filled with extraordinary characters who will carry you away on a journey of solitude, of mysticism and exploration.

Books like this don't come along very often, so dive in and enjoy each pleasant surprise.
