Dark Horse
, 2002
Personal Takes on a Tragic Event
The power of the comic book medium is that, by using drawings, they express emotions and reactions that are difficult to put down in words. Due to the extreme nature of this event, this is an excellent way to express what we have all been through. The most impact is ...
The Sandman Vol. 10: The Wake
Neil Gaiman
,
Mikal Gilmore
Vertigo
, 1997
A Fitting Finale for A Series of Serious Quality
First of all, The Wake is a gorgeous volume. Perhaps the best artwork of the series. It gives a fitting send-off for Morpheus, and for the series, as we get to revisit characters and themes, with just a touch of humor to lighten the otherwise bleak landscape. (Would ...

Stone Soup

great book
This is told differently than the version I read as a child, but it is told very nicely. The pictures are nice as well. Both my 4 year old son and my 11 year old niece love it.

A Family of Poems: My Favorite Poetry for Children
Caroline Kennedy
Hyperion Book CH
, 2005
Beautiful book for younger children as well
We have borrowed this book several times from the library and I am ordering my own copy today. This has become one of my three year old's favorite bedtime books. Some of the poems are too long for her, and there are many I have to explain to her as we read. I'm ...
Lucifer, Book 11: Evensong
Mike Carey
Vertigo
, 2007
The final volume of one of the best stories ever.
The Lucifer series is for serious readers. Please note that I said serious READERS, not comic fans. Even if you've never read a Superman or Spider-Man comic, consider this series. It's intelligent, entertaining, thought-provoking, philosophical, emotionally charged, ...

Stillwater Lives

No Dogs Allowed!
Sonia Manzano
Atheneum
, 2004
instant classic!!!
I LOVED this book before I knew who wrote it. It is very cleverly written, with humorous touches for both adults and children. Sonia Manzano writes the way a girl of 6 or 7 would think. We love all the wonderful characters and the way they are described and ...
Why I Will Never Ever Ever Ever Have Enough Time to Read This Book

Mr. George Baker (Reading Rainbow Books)
Amy Hest
Candlewick

This is an excellent story.
I bought this because it was recommended by a book club I'm part of; it turned out to be a great investment. The story is written like music ~ there is a rhythm in it that is just really enjoyable. My son (4.5 y.o.) particularly loves the end -- "Tappitty-boom, ...
