Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (fiction) While I usually drop things once they get popular, these books are too much fun. To date, there are three, and I have read them all twice. Redwall by Brian Jacques. (fiction) Another series (though I read only the first) that is an amusing mix of Wind in the Willows and Tolkein. Various woodland creatures inhabit the abbey, and must defend against a vicious rat and his mob of pirate rodents. Anything by Kevin Henkes, creator of Lily and her Purple Plastic Purse and Chrysanthemum, two of the cutest little mice ever drawn. Good-natured storytelling and great art. Getting to know the World's Great Artists series by Mike Venezia Excellent for children (and adults who like their writing simple). This is a fun way to enjoy art. From the standards like Monet to my favorites like Edward Hopper, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol. |
