Woodland Critters ABC

Here's a fun one: Woodland Critters ABC, by Patience Mason and Robert Mason. Patience makes these very cool creatures out of acorns and other found woodland items, and they jut have funny personalities I've never seen anywhere else. This is a whole alphabet book made up of them, beautifully photographed and laid out on the page. It's really quite attractive, and fun to look at, even for kids who aren't quite up to the reading part yet. (And for older kids, too--my kids enjoyed going through it.) I love the notes at the end that explain where all the different parts were found, and encouraging kids to find what might be in their back yard to make their own creature. Here's a link so you can check it out yourself.
