Every time I read the book I notice something else about the illustrations—its like it’s full of Easter eggs, just waiting for you to see and find them all.

Prince Caspian
Reviewing a book this old, and one in a series that is so well known, almost seems silly. Of course it’s a good book.
The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend
I bought this book twice. Last year at the Scholastic Book Fair there was a paperback copy of The Adventures of Beekle and the cover drew me in. I didn’t read it before I added it to my stack. At the time, I didn’t know it was a Caldecott Nominee—but the cover was so inviting and well crafted that it makes sense. (Honestly, if you had told me it was a nominee at the time I wouldn’t have known what that meant.)
