Tony DiTerlizzi
is the illustrator of The Spiiderwick Chronicles, The Spider and the Fly, Ted, and many more. He uses his powers for good.
- Peter Pan and Wendy
J.M. Barrie's classic has surly pirates, bloodthirsty native Americans, a hungry crocodile, feisty faeries and flying kids with weapons . . . what more could you ask for?
- Watership Down
Richard Adams takes you on an incredible quest from a home colony that’s completely eradicated to Shangri la. One the way, there are monsters, villains, allies, oh, and a fascist leader trying to seize the hero's new home . . . and its all told with rabbits. You read that right — rabbits.
- The Mouse and the Motorcycle
Mouse buddy + toy motorcycle = Awesome!
- The Lorax
In my mind, this one of Dr. Seuss’s undisputed classics. Sadly, we need the Lorax now more than ever.
- Lafcadio: The Lion That Shot Back
One of Shel Silverstein's lesser known titles, but one of my all-time favorites. Actually, I learned about this one when my younger brother read it for school and had me help with his book report. It is one of those stories that you will always remember.
