The Twelve Days of Christmas
For many centuries young and old alike have
been singing about the maids a-milking,
the lords a-leaping, and a partridge in a
pear tree. A Christmas carol, a parlor
game, and a delightful counting song-The
Twelve Days of Christmas - is indeed a
favorite of the holiday season.
In this book, sumptuously illustrated by
Jan Brett, all the splendid images of The
Twelve Days of Christmas come joyously
alive. Look closely and you'll see not only
the extravagant gifts given by a suitor to
his lady, but a love story, a family's busy
Christmas preparations, "Merry Christmas"
in eleven languages, and a veritable
menagerie of charming creatures.
Jan Brett's exquisitely detailed
illustrations so rich in traditional folk
motifs, make this book a visual treat to be
enjoyed over and over again.

The Art of The Snowflake: A Photographic Album
The perfect geometry and exquisite beauty of nature is nowhere so
clear to us as in the snowflake. But how have we been able to
appreciate this infinitesimal wonder in all its crystalline glory?
This book, as much a work of art as a testament to science, reveals
how one of the snowflakes most inspired photographers came to such
intimate knowledge of his craft and its fleeting focus.
Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth Libbrechts story of the
microphotography of snow crystals, from the pioneering work of
Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to Kens own innovations in our
age of digital images. A breathtaking look at the works of art that
melt in an instant, this is a book to page through and savor, season
after season.
