There is something I just adore about this picture taken from the most amazing blog ever created, called Terrible Yellow Eyes.
The creator of this amazing blog, artist Cory Godbey, has set out to compile a visual love letter to the classic cult picture book Where The Wild Things Are by getting fellow artists to contribute illustrations of their interpretations of the book and its characters.
All of the illustrations are incredible and leave me in absolute awe-struck bliss. Go have a look and definitely read what Cory has written about his love for the book stemming from childhood and the reasons behind this fascinating project – this is obviously something he is really passionate about and incredibly heartfelt.
Cory’s other blog Light Night Trains is also stunning.
I know this photo has been around for a while but I do love it so. Movie release is December 3rd in Aus. Just to make your Friday afternoon really fantastic go watch the trailer again.
Have you seen the latest post on the gorgeous Magnolia Square Little Snippets blog?
It is a review by us of the stunning picture book Madlenka by Peter Sis. If you are looking for a present for an independent and inquisitive little girl aged 4 plus then this book is perfect.
Little Snippets is the new blog by the clever girls from Magnolia Square markets that is devoted to children’s product. The next Magnolia Square Market will be held in Sydney July 2nd to 4th and we will be there selling beautiful books – of course! AND holding storytimes – Yippee.
Hop over to Little Snippets to find out all the details.
We first posted about Grug on we ♥ books in a When We Were Little post, and our site has since been inundated by searches for this unassuming little Australian creature.
Sadly Grug was out-of-print for many years – but not forgotten! Lou announced here in March that Grug was returning – in time for his 30th birthday…
The first collection of titles are out this month – with more to come next month. The new productions are faithful to the old ones – Simon & Schuster have done a great job and haven’t changed the format significantly. I won’t be worried about supplementing our collection of my old copies with the ones we are missing from this new release.
For Sydney readers, there is a Grug Flashmob occurring at Hyde Park fountain TODAY 5 June at 12pm. Wish I could be there, and can’t wait to see photos!!
