1.		The Elements of Style Illustrated from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.09 Customer Review: I wish I could remember who originally recommended the original Strunk & White Elements of Style to me. If I could remember, I would find them and hug them unabashedly. If you're writing ANYTHING and care AT ALL about how it turns out then do yourself a favor and pick this one up. The... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Principles of Uncertainty from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $18.73 Customer Review: Everything Maira touches turns into the most funniest, quirkiest and happiest thing. This is one of my favorite books, its sort of like a new version of Chicken Soup for the Soul. The illustrations are amazing, color combinations are vibrant, writing is witty that it just becomes such a pleasurable... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		What Pete Ate from A to Z from Puffin Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Good grief, what a fun and random and surprisingly educational book! I read this to my first graders (and yes, we did attempt to list all the bizarre things) and I highly doubt they understood what half the objects were, but the certainly enjoyed it. The story is told from the perspective of a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Next Stop Grand Centr from Putnam Juvenile Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I read this book last week for an elementary school storytime, and it was a rousing success. Questions and riotous laughter abounded. The giant chicken on the tracks was a big hit, especially. There are lots of small visual gags for the sharp eyed, as well as marvelous wordplay. This is a book... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		(un)Fashion from Harry N. Abrams Price: $12.89 Customer Review: I debated about buying this book as I couldn't think WHY I wanted it, but am delighted that I did. I like it so much that I bought a second copy to give a friend. Unlike other reviewers, I'm far less clear about why I like it and what I like about it, but I do know that it is a pleasure to look... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Ooh-la-la (Max in Love) from Viking Juvenile Price: $12.23 Customer Review: J'ai aimé ce livre ! Ma mère a acheté ce livre pour moi quand j'étais jeune, comme son nom est mon premier nom et le nom de jeune fille de ma mère. Même par-dessus dix années plus tard, j'ai toujours et aime ce livre ! Les dessins, la poésie,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey (Picture Puffin Books) from Puffin Price: $6.99 Customer Review: My 6 year old son brought this home from his school library yesterday. I was eager to sit and read a book about a fireboat to my first grader! I was so shocked by the abruptness of the content switching from almost a sing-songy storyline, to airplanes crashing in to the towers. My son said... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Smartypants (Pete In School) from Putnam Juvenile Price: $10.87 Customer Review: i love this book. it kind of reminds me of j.otto siebold in style, which i also love. it's the kind of book a parent can actually read to a child over and over again. there is always something new to see, hidden on the page to discover. and it is really funny and original. maira kalman's... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Sayonara, Mrs. Kackleman from Puffin Customer Review: Maira Kalman has captured the best selling points of Japan. We have lived in Kyoto for 8 years. My husband is Japanese, and I'm American. We're raising our "doubles" (dual nationals)over here. "Sayonara Mrs. Kackleman" is our kids' ultimate favorite book, and they laugh and laugh when I read... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Max Makes a Million from Viking Juvenile Customer Review: Maira Kalman has a wonderful wit and a tremendous artistic style. It is great when you find a book that appeals to the kids as well as the adults. Her seemingly simple paintings are at second glance alive with color and depth. Check out all her stuff.

11.		T.BOR A Book (To Keep) +30 Postcards (To Send) from Little Bookroom Price: $17.95 Customer Review: The postcards chosen for this book give a nice overview of Kalman's career. Once you have removed a postcard, you are left with a thumbnail view stub of that postcard's image. Each "stub" has quotes or interesting info about Kalman. The book and its construction follow in the vein of Kalman ( and M... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Chicken Soup, Boots from Viking Juvenile Customer Review: A friend of mine gave me "What Pete Ate" for Christmas a few years ago and...oh wait...that was a present for my 2 year old daughter, but it quickly became one of my personal favorites. Since then I've continued to add to my Maira Kalman collection. Chicken Soup, Boots is everything you'd expect... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.	[no image]	Stay up Late from Puffin Customer Review: My mom used to read this book to me when I was little while playing the song in the background. Now, years later, I still enjoy the book, its art, and the band whose song inspired it.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.	[no image]	Max deluxe from Viking Juvenile Customer Review: This is, as far as I am concerned, the best children's book in existence. This book has: Max Makes a Million; Ooh-la-la (Max in Love); and Max in Hollywood, Baby. If you can't get Max Deluxe, just go ahead and buy the three books anyway. Kalman's writing is full of puns and wordplay and twists and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.	[no image]	Max in Hollywood, Baby from Trumpet Club Customer Review: yes, it's hip. yes, it's funny for grownups. but kids like it too, the pictures are hilarious, and the text was written to be read aloud. if you're not reading it aloud, it just isn't as fun. max is a dog poet and he's telling his story. kalman's description of the characters and processes max and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		1000 On 42nd Street from powerHouse Books Customer Review: this is an excellent book for any artist who wants to explore the variety of facial anatomy and expression - a bargain.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Swami on Rye: Max in India from Viking Juvenile Customer Review: I'm in my 20's but I love children's books. This one is very touching and written from a different slant. I think parents would enjoy it too.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.	[no image]	Hey Willy, See the Pyramids (Picture Puffins) from Puffin Customer Review: I bought this book for my 3-year old expecting it to be an out there, unconvential take on children's books. That's exactly what it is, but it's still too out there for my son to enjoy.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Colors : Tibor Kalman, Issues 1-13 Customer Review: Really Disappointing! If you're looking to have the first issues of COLORS don't buy this. This "book" synthesize at a very low level each issue and the text of some "photos" is impossible to read because of it's size.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
