Take a Peek at the Book-Shelf

Imagine you're Mary Ann, the White Rabbit's housemaid- sneaking peeks at the books he's got upon the shelf. You don't bother with words...it's the pictures that capture your eye. Neglect your dusting! Take one off the shelf, snuggle in his cozy chair, and make your own stories up. The White Rabbit's calling for you but you're lost in another world. He can get his own gloves!

This blog is dedicated to fantasy picture books, magical pockets of paint and ink. You won't find savory intellectual reviews here--only sweet tasty tidbits of what's on my shelf, and the occassional visitor from public and private libraries.

Recommendations, questions, comments (even book reviews) are always welcome!

Margaret Hodges' Saint George and the Dragon


"In the days when monsters and giants and fairy folk lived in England, a noble
knight was riding across a plain..."


"He wore heavy armor and carried an ancient silver shield marked with a red cross. It was dented with the blows of many battles fought long ago by other brave knights."

"The knight on horseback fiercely rode at the dragon with all his might."

"When the tale ended the king said, 'Never did living man sail through such a sea of deadly dangers. Since you are now safely come to rest ashore, stay here and lived happily ever after.'"
