The Road Not Taken and Other Poems
| Author | Robert Frost |
| ISBN | 0486275507 |
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense...

Graphic designers of the world, take heed: I am wary of your intentions. I mean it. You guys are, and I say this in the kindest way possible, strange. I don’t mind it when you take up large sections of MOMA with funky chairs. That is entirely your prerogative. No problemo. But when you start writing children’s...

His real name was Franklin. But everyone called him The Cloudspotter ...
The Cloudspotter doesn't have many friends. He spends his time, all by himself, spotting not just clouds but adventures in the sky. This way, he doesn't feel so alone. Then, one day, an unexpected visitor appears in his...
Be a Sloth & When In Doubt, Just Chill Out
Sloth takes life at his own pace. He knows what makes him happy (naps, box-set binges, a good banana) and what makes him unhappy (laundry day, the gym, people who don't recycle), and he makes sure his life is filled with more of the former than the latter. He is kind to his environment, but, just as importantly,...

Lili finds it hard to make friends with her fiery red hair, but one day, Lili finds the village children lost in the deep dark woods and her bravery (and hair) leads them all home safely. Lili is a beautiful story of overcoming...

| Author | Sally Hines |
| ISBN | 0500293686 |
When we are born, we are each assigned a gender based on our physical anatomy. But why is it that some people experience dissonance between their biological sex and their personal identity?

Top of the Class (Nearly)
Top Of The Class (Nearly) is the ninth Tom Gates book and is a delightful read for younger children. I have never read a Tom Gates book before, but I dived headfirst into book 9, incredibly impressed by the fantastic layout of this book. It’s filled with tons of different fonts and different font sizes,...
Tom Gates: Super Good Skills
The 10th book in the Tom Gates series, and they never bore me. The author keeps finding ways to make everything fun in each book. In this one Tom and his family are going on a holiday, but as you can guess it is pretty disastrous as they get a crappy mobile villa (though for a reason, thanks dad), get stuck in...
| Author | Jirō Taniguchi |
| ISBN | 2203020997 |
I just read Taniguchi's more lyrical Furari, and recently, too, his also pretty poetic Venice, so his A Zoo in Winter feels less magical than those two, but it is still compelling and interesting. It's autobiographical fiction--I understand it to be mostly autobiographical--about Taniguchi's early...

Tom Gates 11: DogZombies Rule
Ik kon hem maar niet vinden in het Engels, dus dan maar de vertaling lezen die ik wel kon vinden! Dit was wederom een superleuk boek over Tom, en het laat ook duidelijk zien dat mensen eens moeten leren dat je niet een hamster op de slaapkamer van je kind moet laten wonen. Ik vraag me wel af of die hamster echt...
Tom Gates #12: Family Friends and Furry Creatures
| Author | Liz Pichon |
| ISBN | 9352756525 |
L. Pichon says that when she was little, she loved to draw, and her mom said she was very good at making a mess (this is still true today). She kept drawing, went to art school, became a designer and art director at Jive Records, and began to publish children’s books. After its publication in the U.K., The...
