The Mysteries of Harris Burdick - Portfolio Edition
Chris Van Allsburg
Houghton Mifflin Company 1996
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is one of my favorite children’s books, although I think it’s probably best described as a book for all ages. The portfolio edition includes the original 14 illustrations from the book, plus an additional 15th drawing, in loose sheets enclosed in a cardboard folio. Each print measures 12”x16”. While a bit cumbersome, the portfolio edition is a fantastic way to experience this most creatively inspirational book.

The Seventh Victim (Robert Sheckley)
"Takes place in a world in which society that has eliminated major warfare by allowing members of society who are inclined to violence to join The Big Hunt, a human hunting game in which participants alternate between being a "hunter" and a "victim". The protagonist is surprised to learn that his intended victim is a woman, something which he has never heard of. As he tracks said victim down, he begins to fall for her -- but will love or death rule the day?" (Spoiler under cut)
Jumanji (Chris Van Allsburg)
"A Leitner version of this book would cause the jungle to manifest physically in your home, with new animals escaping to hunt you down with every page turned."
Spoiler: It's death. But not hers!

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella.
It has been eighteen years since I first watched “The Polar Express,” and quite frankly, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect because of the length between viewings. I remembered the film had stunning visuals and great computer-animated graphics. However, I did not remember what the film was about or how ir…
