    Of course everyone loves Jan Brett-amazing illustrations and details - every book is stunning. This book is definitely a favorite for both of my boys and we read it almost every night for bedtime.

  • Paper Cutouts
    • Rated 4 stars

    The detail and artwork in this book is AMAZING. I am an artist but honestly haven't tried the cutouts yet - just have read/looked at the book. The patterns are super detailed and just incredible. I need some practice and supplies before I dive in - but wow!

  • Halloween (Cheshire Studio Book)
    • Rated 5 stars

    Beautiful artwork - I love everything by this illustrator, and this is just as rich and fantastical. The boys just stare at the images and details. Lovely book.

  • Super Natural Cooking
    • Rated 4 stars

    I love her blog, and her other cookbook, and this new book does not fail to wow. Using a variety of eclectic and often overlooked ingredients, she explores many traditional flavors, as well as a few funky variations. The pantry list is a must read, and the facts and information at each chapter before the recipes is terrific. YUMMY!

    For Tibet, with Love

    by Isabel Losada
    • Rated 4 stars

    Great read! Her humor pushes through so much great information and so many visual images as well as a good message. Keeps it quick and light, but don't think there is not any depth...you will remember this one for awhile!

  • Flour Power: The complete guide to 3-minute home flour milling
    • Rated 4 stars

    Great information--we just got a grain mill and found a local provider of wheat and this book has been our main source of information.

    Not many words, but the illustrations are gorgeous and rich and lush - both of my boys just examine every page.

  • Holy Cows And Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer's Guide To Farm Friendly Food
    • Rated 5 stars

    I love this writer. The book is written in short paragraph itemized form, but boy oh boy is it fun. He is very smart, informed, and irreverent (in a good way). Definitely a must read for those supporting local farms, family farms, and interested in the how and why of food from farm to table.

  • Nourishing Traditions
    • Rated 4 stars

    Great book with a lot of info about traditional foods. Recipes are part of it, but the facts, history, and information within each section makes it so much more.
