Norman, an artistically-minded mouse, loves to show his friends all the treasures hidden in the basement of the Majestic Museum of Art. One day Norman decides to make a sculpture out of the mousetraps that the sharp-eyed guard leaves. He enters the “mouse on the flying trapezee” into a sculpture contest the museum is having, and much to his surprise, wins first place!
I love this book. It ends so well, and Norman is such a decent little mouse—and his wire sculpture is really fun.

One day a moose comes to visit and the little boy gives him a muffin, starting a whole chain of events including puppet shows, sweaters, and more.
The “if you” books are so much fun! The illustrations for this one are great. There is one reference to Halloween, which we usually skip over, but it’s still a great book.

Our rating:
A tale of greed and high adventure in two acts. In which our heroine Pearl Trout, along with her brother and the brave Corporal Bert, must thwart the villainous Gropmund Grouper and his devious scheme to not only cheat the inhabitants of Reeftown out of their money, but to destroy the very town itself!
Graeme Base’s combination of beautifully-done, full-color pages of illustrations with perfectly (and often comical) rhyming prose makes for such an enjoyable experience. It’s a terrific read-aloud, but everyone will surely want to go through and study each picture by their self, too. As with most of Base’s books, there are hidden things to be found—in this case, the sign of the seahorse is tucked somewhere on every page, and close examination will also reveal the continual appearance of “two largely unnoticed shrimps,” to quote the list of the Cast. All in all, great fun for any age.

With You All the Way (Hardcover)

40 used & new available from USD 5.33
Three knights are chosen to journey through the dreaded Hemlock Forest, home of the sly Hopenots. Each knight may pick a companion to accompany them, but which knight will emerge alive from the forest? Carlisle, the strongest? Alon, the quickest? Or Cassidon, the wisest?
A great book with beautiful illustrations. The story is short, but powerful.

Freddy the pig and Jinx the cat (along with their steeds, Bill the goat and Cy the pony) are all ready to go on a trip, when a call for help arrives from Uncle Ben. He has plans for a flying saucer, given to him by the Martians, but can’t begin work on a saucer because tons of spies are following him everywhere, trying to obtain the prized plans. It’s time for Freddy to step in and lend a hand, er, trotter.
Freddy is back! There is a fun plot twist, and tons of spies all fighting each other for the plans. An enjoyable new character, Samuel the mole, is introduced. I especially like the part with him at the end.
