Masterpiece Monday

Over the weekend DH and I took the kids on an adventure:bargain hunting for...well anything, but we ended up with nothing other than BOOKS! What a great way to end the weekend. Here is one that is now an absolute favorite:



How could I not buy this one? I love the sea! Stella is one clever little girl who knows all of the seas secrets and if you'd like to know a few of its secrets, well, you'll just have to read this one too! 

Since I always have more than one masterpiece here I'll pleasantly include another exceptional favorite of mine that is full of animal secrets and a little blond boy hidden among the colorful pages:

A few funny and interesting things about Graeme Base

"He graduated from art school and then spent two years in advertising before being sacked for incompetence." He went on to illustrate Animalia--it took him over 3 years to complete--but it also became a grand "worldwide phenomena". Kudos Graeme! So who's to say this won't happen:

An

Aspiring

Aspirations


So writers everywhere get in the Animalia mood, follow suit, and write in like fashion to celebrate...or just uncover a few secrets. I'd be much obliged to enjoy them all if you'll only send me a link to all your fun!

  1. Hey, girl! You're right Google Chrome--no crashing. I wanted to say that first book looks AMAZING! I loved reading stuff like that w/my girls... I do hate that they're getting older now and aren't so interested in the beautiful picture books. :o| But I think Stella looks wonderful~
