| For those of you who wonder what we do in our office every day, listen up!? We have what we think is one of the best collection of kids' books out there on our shelves. We enjoy reading children's books every chance we get. Here's just a few we can recommend. |

William and the Night Train
Described to the rhythm of a train, our hero "wide-awake William" shows no inclination to drift off. The hero runs from the freight car (where circus animals slumber) to the sleeping car (in which feathers fall like snowflakes from the children's pillow fight) to the caboose, until finally his mother cuddles him close and he falls asleep. Jay exploits the train metaphor fully by including an engineer in pajamas and nightcap, a recurring sheep motif, and a spread of the cars depicted as beds laid end to end, with the train's contents set out horizontally. |

Blueberries for Sal
Kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk go the blueberries into the pail of a little girl named Sal, who--try as she might--just can't seem to pick as fast as she eats. Robert McCloskey's classic is a magical tale of the irrepressible curiosity and appetite of youth. Sal and her mother set off in search of blueberries for the winter at the same time as a mother bear and her cub. A quiet comedy of errors ensues when the young ones wander off and absent mindedly trail the wrong mothers. |

Dragon, Hound of Honor
In the noble and dangerous times of medieval France, the young knight Aubrey de Montdidier, nephew of the Count of Montargis, has been strangely murdered. His friend the brave Sieur DeNarsac, captain of the count's men-at-arms, and Thierry, a young page, must now solve the tragic mystery. Yet it is a magnificent white wolfhound by the name of Dragon -- Montdidier's faithful companion -- who brings an unexpected, shocking conclusion to the puzzle of his master's untimely death. |
