It is a "wordless" picture book that "shows" an adventure that some children go on when they discover a treasure map hidden in the floor of their boarding school. They sneak out of their school, wander through...

I like this wordless picture book tale of a class visit to an art museum, where a boy gets separated from his class and enters a room where there are drawings of mazes. (The art museum itself seems a kind of maze, too.) He enters some of these mazes and successfully traverses them and wins a medal, (for some...

After reading a delightful and positive review here I couldn't resist picking up this book. I love children's stories with animals and nature and am a huge fan of wolves and stories featuring mice. The duck was not so important but hey, the duck turned out to be the key player in this story so...

SO Sweet! A father’s story explaining his world when his child is 2 months old.

I love this book. It does the macrocosm all the way to the day to day, not quite microcosm. It is powerful to show how small this little planet is in all that space and then when you see all the diversity and wonders on...
