Changes

In non-fiction, John thoroughly enjoyed [[Mythology: An Illustrated Journey Into Our Imagined Worlds by Christopher Dell ]]. What does a rainbow mean to you? How would you explain the creation of the world if you had no science as such, or the changing of the seasons? What other kinds of natures – chaotic trickery, evil personae or even the characteristics of goats – people your world? And why is it that the answers man and woman have collectively formed to such questions have been so similar across the oceans and across the centuries? Take on board that this is not a history of beliefs, or a retelling of mythology, and this pictorially erudite look at the history of mankind's musings will overwhelm with details and delights.

For the littler ones, Sam thinks you should look at [[Kitchen Disco by Clare Foges and Al Murphy ]]. When the humans sleep, the fruit likes to party. The idea that a melon can dance with a grape sounds ludicrous, but in the world of Clare Foges and Al Murphy, this is exactly what can happen and it really is rather glorious. You are all down on the list for this highly entertaining and silly bop around the fruit bowl.
