Wowza

Wowza for these books. Wow-za. (I don't think I've ever typed that word before...)

For teens:


Saints by Gene Luen Yang
We haven't read the companion book, Boxer, yet, but this book was great. Historical Fiction in graphic novel form.

So well done.

And another graphic novel—more nonfiction, the kind kids can't put down!

Primates: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas by Jim Ottaviani and Maris Wicks

This book is really for kids of all ages, though I found it in the YA section.

Calvin has been entranced by this series:

Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

These are fat books full of adventure! 

Shaemus can't get enough of Chet Gecko, private eye:

And we all found this new book hysterical:

Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman

Sooooooooo funny! The perfect read-aloud.

This is one amazing picture book:

Just Behave, Pablo Picasso

Totally made me not want to behave. He he he.

And here are some more art-inspiring books:

Henri's Scissors

The Day the Crayons Quit
