Beautiful Books
For adults:
Of Mice...and Murder, a Maxie the Mouse Mystery by Mary Connealy.
This book was hard to put down and always entertaining, whether I had one hour or just ten minutes to read. The heroine was likable and flawed, her love interest was sensitive and hunky, but my favorite character was the weird and prophetic seller of inedible pies, Clara. She was a unique combination of traits and always stole the show and left me wondering how Mary Connealy came up with this lady. Maybe some day I'll ask her.
For children:
A to Z of Animals, A Wildlife Alphabet Illustrated by Peter David Scott
Gorgeous is the best way to describe this book. It is, of course, a simple alphabet book with each set of pages bearing letters and corresponding critters. There are some pages of animals facts in the back, done in black-and-white, but the color illustrations that make up the bulk of the book are rich, perfect, and demand a long look. Like the very best of wildlife photography, these pictures make you feel that you are right up close to the animal, taking in every whisker.
