101 Ways To Kill A Zombie by Robb Pearlman

101 Ways To Kill A Zombie by Robb Pearlman, 96 pages

This was a hilariously illustrated book on how to kill zombies.  Some of my favorite from the book include Black Friday,  toilet paper, and death by chocolate. For the librarian, #100 was in the library with a candlestick.  And, #101, my absolute favorite, death by google maps!

Lemons are not Red, by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

  Lemons are not Red, by Laura Vaccaro Seeger, 32 pages
As usual, using die cuts and lots of color, Vaccaro Seeger makes the picture book more of an experience than just reading.

The Conference of the Birds, by Peter Sis

The Conference of the Birds, by Peter Sis, 160 pages

This is a beautifully illustrated book for adults.  Based on a Sufi poem by Farid al-Din Attar, the story depicts a flock of birds embarking on an epic journey to find the meaning of life.  It was quite lovely and requires a great deal of introspection and self-reflection.
