The Invention of Hugo Cabret

a Novel in Words and Pictures by Brian Selznick

Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.

Selznick’s amazing drawings take up most of the book, interacting with the text to create a captivating work of fiction.

BoshBlobBerBosh
written by J Patrick Lewis and illustrated by Gary Kelley

An unusual biography written and illustrated very much in the spirit of the Victorian gentleman Edward Lear's own nonsense verse. In verse, the reader follows Lear from his birth as the 20th of 21 children to his visits to the zoo, where he perfected his parrot drawings, to the drawing lessons that he gave to Queen Victoria.
The clever poems and marvelous illustrations create an ingenious entertainment for children and adults.
