Recent Acquisitions
Last weekend, Julie and Romy and I happened upon a local library's used book sale. We picked up some little gems for Romy, of course (Meet Joe from Blue's Clues!), and I got lucky as well. Here are pics of two very incredible finds. I'm a huge fan of Ungerer and Burningham. These books are head-to-toe genius, so these are just covers and random samples (too hard to say or choose which pictures are the best). Now, and for the record, Burningham is officially my #1 guy. He never doesn't knock my socks off.

Burningham AND Ungerer??? You cleaned up! I never knew Burningham illustrated CHITTY CHITTY. Wow. Did you see the book Burningham did with his wife, Helen Oxenbury, THERE'S GOING TO BE A BABY? Knocked my socks off.
Such a lucky break! I wasn't aware of either of those books, so it was a great couple of surprises. I did see that Burningham/Oxenbury book. Very, very nice!
Hey Matt, I saw Trouble Gum at the library and finally got a chance to read it. I loved it!!
Hey, thanks, Paige. Glad to hear you enjoyed!
