Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Little Red Hen

Downard's treatment of this classic fable heaps a big serving of silliness while the kids eats up it's lesson. The beauty of Downard's art is his ability to use actual photgraphs of the four animal characters and combine them with hillarious props and pose them in ridiculously common-place places and poses. He's created something that will make even the most harried bedtime story reading adult relax with laughter. Now, that's a book worthy of attention! You'll want to read it time after time, night after night beside the bed of your favorite youngish story listener. We all know how tiresome reading the same book night after night after night can be. It's made worse when the story is dull, or too long, or too simple...But when there's a book that both reader and listener not only tolerate, but really, truly enjoy, then it deserves the highest of praise. This is such a gem. It's in the good company of Dave Pilkey's KAT KONG, and DOGZILLA (CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS not withstanding). Who's seen a real chicken riding a bike? Or a pig playing pool? Or how about a cat playing checkers? Or a duck wearing shades & soaking up the rays? "Not I!" you say? "Then you will" I say. And I did!

Life in the Undergrowth

My kindergartener is doing his insect unit at school; and so we watched this as an adjunct to that. We were amazed. Not only is it entertaining, amusing and educational, but it is by far the most visually stunning presentation of the insect world to date. With fiber thin cameras, the millimetre world of insects comes to life for us humans for the first time on screen. And what a treat, for all family members! We liked the two series on mayflies, dragonflies & butterflies; and web weavers the most. All of the five series are fantastic, though, and it is not to be missed for BBc or David Attenbourrough fans.
