Berlie Doherty’s <a href="http://www.candlewick.com/cat.asp?browse=Title&amp;mode=book&amp;isbn=0763609978&amp;pix=n"><em>Fairy Tales</em></a><em> </em>is, hands down, the most enjoyable book of fairy tales we’ve found, and it served as bedtime fare for many months. Jane Ray’s illustrations are stunningly beautiful.</p> <p><a href="http://livefreelearnfree.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fairy_tales_1.jpg"><img title="Fairy_tales_1" alt="Fairy_tales_1" src="http://livefreelearnfree.typepad.com/editor/images/fairy_tales_1.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Helen Oxenbury’s <a href="http://www.candlewick.com/cat.asp?browse=Title&amp;mode=book&amp;isbn=0763608041&amp;pix=n"><em>Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland</em></a> illustrations are superb - cheerful and lighthearted.</p> <p><a href="http://livefreelearnfree.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/alice_1.jpg"><img title="Alice_1" alt="Alice_1" src="http://livefreelearnfree.typepad.com/editor/images/alice_1.jpg" /></a></p> <p>And, their <em><a href="http://www.candlewick.com/search.asp?m=results&amp;Go.x=0&amp;Go.y=0&amp;Go=Go&amp;searchTerms=news">History News</a></em> series is wonderful. We usually have a least a few of them checked out from the library, but we’ve finally bought our first, <em>Aztec News</em>, after finding it in hardback for a few dollars. Currently, only the paperbacks are in print, but we’re holding out for the hardbacks, if we can find them.</p> <p><a href="http://livefreelearnfree.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/roman_news_2.jpg"><img title="Roman_news_2" alt="Roman_news_2" src="http://livefreelearnfree.typepad.com/editor/images/roman_news_2.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Actually, I’m notorious for refusing to buy books new, but each of the books above (save for the <em>History News</em>) I purchased off the shelves - including the entire “Ology” series (<em><a href="http://www.egyptology1926.com/index.html">Egyptology</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.dragonology.com/">Dragonology</a></em> and<a href="http://www.wizardology.com/"> Wizardology</a>). I couldn’t help myself; they’re all so beautifully illustrated and so utterly engaging. </p> </div> </div>  <h3 id="comments">4 Comments</h3> <ol id="commentlist"> <li id="comment-17"> <h4 class="commentauthor">Patrice said,</h4> <p class="commentdate"> October 9, 2005 at <a href="#comment-17" title="Permanent link to this comment">2:09 am</a> </p> <p>Ooh, those look good.
