"Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them."
- Arnold Lobel

Tuesday Book Review

Masterpiece by Elise Broach

Written for ages 8-12, this heartwarming children's novel tells about the unique friendship between a shy boy named James and a beetle named Marvin who lives under his kitchen sink.  The two share a special bond as they get caught up in an art mystery together and must rely on their friendship to solve it.  The illustrations by Kelly Murphy are breathtaking and add a beautiful dimension to the story.  I enjoyed the simplicity and innocence of this story and would highly recommend it!
