"Adele & Simon" -Barbara McClintock

Done in the style of Gigi and Madeline, this was a fun romp through Paris. On each page, Simon loses something which is somewhere on the page (and not a big object either). You also can look for Simon and famous artists and works. There's a guide in the back for those.

"The End" -David LaRochelle

Such a fun book! The whole story, in fact the whole book, is told in reverse. The title page is at the end, the cover is backwards, really clever.

I'm going to spoil the finish by saying the Princess and the Knight fall in love. But how do they fall in love? Because... And that's how the story goes, always telling the effect before the cause.
