I‘m over 3 decades late to the train, but I am loving the Dinotopia series. The story is interesting, the illustrations are amazing. I‘m in awe on every page. I want so many hung up on my walls!

Beautifully illustrated, this whimsical and existential picture book is a treasure to spark hope and the human imagination!

#AboutABook Day 17: #SetInFuture this book has comforted me and given me joy. It envisions a future that is out there that can be built ever-so-gradually with whimsy and hope. Jeffers has this uncanny ability to disarm me. His sentiments are never maudlin, but clear-voiced and genuine. This is a beautiful book. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-n6y
Sid has been getting his inner Social Scientist in gear with this first edition of the young readers adaptions of Harari‘s Sapiens. This first book explores how humans (Homo Sapiens) came to dominate the planet, with particular focus on our dominance over other human species and animals in the Stone Age. Core concepts are really clearly and cleverly explained, the book is beautifully illustrated and it‘s a compelling narrative.
Originally written in 1928 (in Germany). This edition published by Vintage Classics in 2012. Copyright is 1959, first published in GB in 1931.
Emile gets £6 to take to his Grandma in Berlin and £1 holiday money for himself though his mum tells him to keep 10 shillings for his return fare to Neustadt.
£1 in 1928 would be worth £85.37 now/ £1 in 1931 would have spending value of £78.73 now/ £1 in 1959 would be £29.16 now❗️
My spirit animal.
Like Bookwomble, I often forget to wear trousers when I go out, but I never forget to take my book! ☺️
The language in this #PictureBook is fun, and I really like the illustrations. Betty has to stay busy all the time and has to remind herself to focus on one task at a time and finish the task. Sage advice. But, I‘m not sure about the message about starting a business. So-so read for me. #BBRC #LetterB
🌛🌠🌌 A lovely little bedtime story. Excellent palate cleanser. No notes.
