mahoganyAnother two thumbs way up book recommendation for kids is Chato’s Kitchen
and
The Sign of the Seahorse: A Tale of Greed and High Adventure in Two Acts . I love Graeme Base, but this one is truly outstanding. It’s quite a long story, and the kids are mesmerized for the entire thing.
and in the WTF category: The Viewer. To be fair, this was actually an interesting book, for an ADULT. It’s super creepy, and to be honest I don’t quite know what to make of it; it definitely captured my interest, and the illustrations are amazing. However, I’m very grateful that I looked it over before tossing it in our book bag. Had I allowed him to read it, my son would have had nightmares for months - I’m sure of it. Here is a more detailed review of the book. It has a “Tell Tale Heart” kind of an eeriness to it. I wonder why we don’t have a picture book section for adults? I mean really - just because it’s short, and it’s illustrated doesn’t mean that it’s meant for kids.
