Praise for Kaleidoscope: " Kaleidoscope , Brian Selznick''s brilliant new book , is a collection of magical, weird and mysterious stories. Each tale is accompanied by art, which, as we''ve come to expect from Selznick, is stunning . While each tale seems like a sliver of a larger story we''ll never learn, we get the impression that we''re hearing the best part. There are no answers in this gorgeous book. There are just two of us -- Selznick and the reader -- lying side by side in the belly of a sphinx. Not trying to answer a riddle. Just appreciating being in the middle of one." -- Adam Gidwitz, The New York Times Book Review Praise for Baby Monkey, Private Eye: A New York Times Bestselling Book An Amazon Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year Parents Magazine Best Early Reader of the Year A BookPage Best Book of the Year A News & Observer Best Book of the Year "A marvel.

" -- School Library Journal , starred review * "Kids will forget they are learning to read, focusing instead on the comic bits, persistence, and vulnerability of an endearing hero." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "New readers will delight in the details. and the spot-on slapstick pacing of the putting-on-pants sequences will have viewers giggling for days." -- The Horn Book , starred review * "Repetition of words brings this within reach of timid readers, while the absurdity expands the appeal. It''s the detailed full spreads, however, that stop the show and cinematically change the pace, especially the ones set in Baby Monkey''s atmospheric office. The book is therefore a delight for reading together or alone, and the weight of the volume will provide considerable satisfaction to novice readers." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children''s Books , starred review "A good choice for all libraries and classrooms as a confidence booster for beginning readers." -- School Library Connection , recommended Praise for The Invention of Hugo Cabret: 2008 Caldecott Medal winner National Book Award Finalist #1 New York Times Bestseller New York Times Best Illustrated Book Los Angeles Times Favorite Children''s Book of the Year TIME Magazine''s 100 Best Children''s and Young Adult Books of All Time "Evokes wonder.
