Arlo’s Book Club: Magical Wonderment Edition
May 25, 2016
We are super excited to bring you another edition of Arlo’s Book Club! Did you happen to see our little interview on the Tiny Readers blog? Click over to see a photo of a teeny, tiny adorable kid boss, plus our picks for all-time favorite books and illustrators. How cool is it that Arlo’s Book Club is reaching out and promoting reading and the love of beautiful writing and illustration with kids? So important! This month, we are all in a flurry of fairies after celebrating Arlo’s 5th birthday. The years have flown by (pun!) and Arlo’s fairy-themed party was a blast. For her birthday, Arlo was gifted a copy of A Fairy Friend and we have been excited about the concept of magical wonderment ever since, and picked out some books to share with you. Hope you enjoy!

A Fairy Friend


Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation by Lewis Carroll, illustrated by Robert Sabuda. Curiouser and curiouser! Pop-up books are often underrated, but the exquisite attention to detail and design is often breathtaking in those are well-done. These illustrations figuratively and literally burst off the page in bright colors and draw you right into Alice’s Wonderland. The page where Alice grows too big for a house is a masterpiece in and of itself! Make sure you check this one out, especially for future engineers and imagineers.


Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland


Jill & Dragon by Lesley Barnes. This one was written and illustrated by a Red Cap Cards artist, herself! We are always such cheerleaders for our Red Cap family members’ works of art and this one is no different. Dragon burns, singes and barbecues everything in his path, so when Jill decides to lead him out of the book to teach him some new skills, Dragon discovers an interesting talent! This one is about fitting in, while maintaing your sense of self. A perfect story for kids and adults alike!
