FINISHED:
Van Allsburg, Chris. (2011). The chronicles of Harris Burdick. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.

[One of my FAVORITE children's picture books (for older readers...) is back! My thoughts on it are two-fold: one, I'm horrified by the idea that the very nature of the book - that each illustration only has a cryptic caption, thus hoping the reader will fill in the story - is being compromised; and, two, I'm thrilled that some of the biggest names in young adult/children's lit have put their stamps on this fascinating book. Even after reading it, I'm still at odds...]

STARTED:
Selznick, Brian. (2011). Wonderstruck. New York: Scholastic.

[SO DARNED EXCITED!]
