Birds & Words<br> by Charley Harper
 
This lovely reissue of the highly 
collectible 1974 classic is a Charley Harper 
gem. AMMO Books has carefully restored all 
the images and reproduced Birds & Words in 
its entirety and in its original format.
 
A book for every bird lover who knows there 
is more to birdwatching than measurements, 
range maps, flight patterns and lifetime 
lists. Birds & Words is a true reflection 
of Charley Harper, who was that special 
species of man with twinkling eyes and 
smile, with wit as infectiously keen and 
light-hearted as his paintings. Harper the 
humorist reads as captivating in the self-
composed stories that accompany his 
serigraphs as Harper the artist. An active 
curiosity prodded him to constantly 
question nature.  

"What will happen", He asked "if a 
buzzard, which eats only dead meat, comes 
upon a possum, which plays dead when 
threatened? The answer has to be that the 
mild mannered marsupial will win his Purple 
Heart - possumously."

Harper Ever After
The Early Work

Essay by Sara Caswell-Pearce. Introduction and commentary by Brett Harper. Harper Ever After presents paintings and prints from both artists, from their early art school days until 1960, when Charley created Cardinal, now one of his best-known images. The artists command of a wide range of styles from realism to abstraction to cubismis not only impressive, it informs the path each took to arrive at their individual techniques. The subjects they chose to depict are just as diverse. Charleys World War II scenes, portraits, and cartoons created while serving in Europe as a private first class are especially poignant. Brett Harper provides a biographical introduction that follows his parents from art school to commercial and fine art success, and his commentary on specific artworks provides valuable insight. Art critic Sara Caswell-Pearces essay focuses on the development of the Harper's artistic prowess, while Chip Doyle, a family friend, tells his story of discovering long-lost early works. Harper Ever After presents great talent in its formative years. Longtime Harper fans and collectors will appreciate never-before-seen artwork and come away with a new appreciation of the Harpers mature work, post-1960.

A Tower of Giraffes
Book by Anna Wright

A drove of pigs, a romp of otters, an ostentation of peacocks, and a tower of giraffes... This clever book introduces young readers to some of the words we use to refer to animals in a group. The ink, watercolor, and fabric collage art is brightly colored and uniquely sets this fun book apart from the crowd. Each page presents information about an animal and its group behavior, such as how geese fly in a V-shape and honk to encourage the leaders, and that sometimes tens of thousand of flamingos meet up in one location. Young readers will have a great time and create a wellspring of new vocabulary words.
