I had mentioned in my notes that my absolute favorite children's book is Armstrong by Torben Kuhlmann. Well, my santa very generously completed our entire collection of his works! I cannot say enough good things about this author - his full page larger-than-life illustrations are unbelievably beautiful and realistic, and the quality of the stories match the beautiful art.

Lindbergh was his first book, and the prequel to Armstrong, about the first mouse to complete a transatlantic flight.

Moletown I had seen before but didn't really think to give it much more of a look because for some reason the theme didn't resonate with me. I AM SO GLAD that getting this book made me change that. I had no idea that it's a nearly wordless book about the industrialization of a single molehill into a sprawling metropolis. Our kid LOVES this one. So many tiny details crammed into every single page. I feel like we'll be discovering new little details for years.

Edison is set to release in October. I can't say much about it because I haven't read it yet, but it was very, very kind of our Santa to preorder it for us! A deep-sea story is bound to be amazing.

Thank you again Santa. This was perfect.
