		<description><![CDATA[I have late adult-onset beetle fever. Actually, it is the weevil (with their admirable snouts) who really rock my boat, but any beetle will do. I used to be scared of beetles, bees, and buggery of any sort, but now I am pleased to report that I live in amiable companionship with all insects. Must be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My cat has a few skills. She is a master of food procurement, especially the hunting and gathering of fish-flavoured snacks. The white expanse of her impressive belly absorbs the heat of the sun, keeping the house cool in summer. The vibrational pitch of her purrs make fly swatters and wasp repellants entirely unnessary. Nevertheless, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another book by Jon Klassen. This time, it is Pulitzer Prize winning poet Ted Kooser providing the words, but visually, House Held Up by Trees is classic Klassen. The 60&#8242;s flavoured, flat-toned illustrative style is reminiscent of the much-lauded I Want My Hat Back (minus the bear), while the story is firmly planted in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog is exclusively for the review of new and older picture books, and yet I feel compelled to comment on an article I read a few weeks ago on the interwebs. It&#8217;s not for lack of opinions on other topics, but the findings in this study seemed contrary to my observations as a former bookseller [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love magpies. They&#8217;re my favourite bird, which is a good thing because my northern city is teeming with these sturdy, yet beautiful corvids. Magpies overwinter with us, and their almost tropical plumage is often the only colour in our blanched landscape. Like their human companions, magpies are omnivores. They are not picky where dinner [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Old Coyote had me with the cover, surely one of the most poignant, and beautifully observed illustrations of an animal I&#8217;ve ever seen. It&#8217;s in the eyes; heavy with sleep, closing in on one world, peaceful. They are like my 17 year old cat&#8217;s eyes, no longer round with anticipation, but tired and soft, resonant of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At some point during winter, when the landscape is daubed in grey and Spring is still in the abstract, I turn to the golf channel, not because I have a fondness for rich, white men (or at least not the married ones), but because I crave the green. And when the inevitable boredom hits (approximately 15 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best thing about February is that it&#8217;s a short month. Not as short as it could be (I&#8217;m talking to you day 29), but still brief enough to delude myself into thinking spring is just around the corner. It&#8217;s not, but I&#8217;m fully prepared to live with my delusions awhile longer, or at least [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Valentine&#8217;s Day (or Tuesday, as I like to call it) just around the corner, and in the absence of any new mushy picture books for the occasion (other than the usual dreary selection of pink and/or heart-shaped books permeating the children&#8217;s section), I am revisiting my post from last year, with one addition. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unequivocally, The Collector of Moments is a work of art. It is a picture book yes, sold in the children&#8217;s section of a bookstore, but it defies categorization, like Van Allsburg&#8217;s The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, or The Arrival by Shaun Tan. The illustrations are enigmatic, a sort of visual poetry caught mid-stanza before the swirl of [...]]]></description>
