Beetles are some of my very favorite kinds of insects. I was thrilled to get my hands on this Owen Davey's book all about them!

Peter Pan
From 1931 comes this illustrated storybook of Peter Pan. Based on the original play (not the Disney version), it's quite fun to read.

The Midnight Panther
Gorgeous illustrations accompany this story about a panther who wishes he was like the other big cats- fearless like tiger, blazing like lion, dazzling like leopard. His attempts to adorn himself like the other cats fail. But one night he climbs high in the trees and the moon helps him to see his own sparkling beauty. A nice celebration of recognizing what makes you special and uniquely wonderful. Each page is a stunning work of art!

From Morn to Midnight
We are in love with Satomi Ichikawa's pretty illustrations that accompany the poetry in this book. She depicts a cozy and sweet world that makes you feel all warm when you look at the pictures.
