A precious book about a loving and supportive family, embracing the arts in daily life. A must for familes nuturing young artists.
It reminds me very much of my daughter would would creep downstairs to draw in the dark of night. Drawing, drawing all the time.
This is a bittersweet book, and should be read with a discussion time included.

This is a cool book about the finding the great cache of bones out in Utah. It's a nice story about real life, history and the work of one man who worked to not only further the study of dinosaurs, but also preserve them. Great fun read!
