Books found in the last 2 weeks

The White Elephant by Sid Fleischman has black and white illustrations throughout and is marketed to 8 -11 year olds.



little fur: The Legend Begins by Isobella Carmoody has an eye catching fuzzy cover with a third of it protected with a partial dust cover. The story is about a half elf, half troll little girl and there is more stories to follow judging by Amazon.



Flight of the Fire Thief by Terry Deary is book two in the Fire Thief trilogy.






Extraordinary Adventures Of Ordinary Basil by Wiley Miller is about an adventure in a hot-air-balloon ship. The book is full of wonderful illustrations on every other page by the comic strip artist Wiley Miller.

Couple of series books found last week.

Both of these books are paperbacks.


Rocket Racers by Victor Appleton is the fourth in the Tom Swift Young Inventor series and is a fun early reader chapter book that will appeal greatly to the boys.







Babymouse: Rock Star by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm is the fourth in the series of this adorable, very pink and highly amusing graphic novel mouse called Babymouse. These are addictive to read, thank goodness Amazon shows there is another book due at Christmas 2006 and another May 2007.

Corby Flood's Map Dust Cover.

A few months ago (Aug 28th to be exact) I blogged about the cool dust cover on Corby Flood, so finally I took the pictures today, as promised....







I started reading CF to Lumpy last night, and it was great that he could look at the map as I read and see portraits of the many characters, very handy for him too. Cute idea guys!!
