Love this book
I really like this book because of the focus on food that works for average day to day cooking. Granted, it's not 5-minute meals, but the recipes are still quick and they work. Yum.

Neil Gaiman, Kelley Jones, ...
Vertigo, 1994
Season of Mists Is The First To Astound Me

Ruby's Falling Leaves (Max and Ruby)
Grosset & Dunlap, 2007
a must have rosemarry wells
This is a great Max & Ruby story. It's particularly good for younger readers as it is short. It's somewhere in between the board books of max & ruby and the full-length classics like Bunny Money and Chocolate Chicken. It's perfect for a 2 or 3 yr old.
