Pilkey stepped away from his humorous stories and gone a spiritual route. Poetic look at the story of gargoyles and how the angels are there for not only them but for all of us who seem forgotten. Could be a lovely sympathy gift. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

This is not your mothers alphabet book! This is not for a young child just learning their alphabet. It could be used in classes as low as second grade but upwards to junior high due to the items mentioned. It would be a great gift for someone who collects alphabet books. There is a glossary at the end to help with the words (looking at you Qatar) and fantastic illustrations. Learn what bdellium (pronounced DEL-ee-yum) is and next time I get a pet zebra I am calling it Zhivago and the next pterodactyl I see, I hope it is called Ptolemy but does not have psoriasis. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Does Adrian have a horse? As Chloe goes to all ends to prove this fact untrue, both she (and readers) realize that sometimes kids make things up just to fit in—and that that's not always a bad thing. Empathetic storytelling, wonderful illustrations: my favorite picture book in years. ~ Reviewed by Aubrey Restifo

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to the five animals that are not the loveliest by the standards of the other animals of the plains. However, each one is pretty darn proud of their ugliness and assumes there is nothing as ugly, fearsome or disgusting as they are. That is, until they meet one of the other animals on the list. They sing, dance and are real proud of who they are and what they look like throughout the book. However, at the end they find out that in some very special animal’s eyes, they are the most fairest of them all. The Ugly 5 are the hyena, wildebeest, vulture, warthog and the marabou stork. They might not have the sleek look like the lion or tiger or meerkat, but they are pretty darn cute. Well I could do without the poop on the marabou stork…. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Based on the story of Joshua Bell this artistic book is for music lovers of all ages. A great lesson about making mistakes and trying, plus just a nice story about a young man and his love of music. The afterwards about Bell is a nice touch. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
