Those books are all great, the Sendak illustrations are fantastic! I also am a bit of a book hoarder, I just love holding a hardcover book. Prayers for no more skunk aroma 🙏
I recently saw a snippet from a book on Instagram and tracked it down, it's called Everybody Needs a Rock by Byrd Baylor illustrated by Peter Parnall. Highly recommended. This is the quote I loved: "There aren't many things that feel as good as a rock - if the rock is perfect". I agree.
Congratulations on the month! I do indeed enjoy reading it, it feels like winning a prize when I open my email and see one from you. Thank you for making them so special, with the photographs and illustrations. Sorry about the skunks!
Those books all look DIVINE. Also, I'm moving in, in a llama suit. <3
That Sendak book is a gold mine, what a treasure! I'm certainly jealous.

Where the sidewalk ends:
I’ve done it, I’ve done it!
Guess what I’ve done!
I invented a lightbulb
That plugs into the sun!
The sun is bright enough,
The bulb is strong enough.
There’s only one thing wrong:
The cord ain’t long enough.
One of my favorites when my daughter Jessica was growing up.
What fantastic finds! I am a scholarly collector of Sendak myself, and have not seen those illustrations before. Julie Morstad is amazing too.
Thanks again for sharing! So awesome. (Have you seen Sendak’s seven Little monsters? 1975 it also feels like a precursor to wild things...)

I’m wondering, what is the half-life of “skunkaroma.” You have my sympathy. May it pass quickly. Or may you grow to accept it.
