There has been a lot of snow this winter, and therefore a lot of sledding, but we have yet to find the perfect sled. Until now! The Peak Sled by Wolfgang Sirch will take us swiftly into spring while we pray for winter to never end. Peak Sled: Wolfgang Sirch

Duck Duck Goose by Alec Thibodeau: Ink Ape
Duck Duck Goose is Alec Thibodeau's first print of 2009, and Niedźwiedź believes he's off to a great start, "duck! Duck!". Know for his letterpress series Goes to Show You What a Moon Can Do... Alec is also a master screenprinter, minicomic & graphic novel maker based in Providence Rhode Island (What Cheer!).
Bed Bed Bed: They Might Be Giants illustrated by Marcel Dzama
Niedźwiedź's new favourite bedtime read is Bed Bed Bed by They Might Be Giants & illustrated by the famed Marcel Dzama (Niedźwiedź's cousins are from Winnipeg like Marcel Dzama, so he's partial). The text is ridiculous, engaging, & thoughtful leading the reader straight to bed bed bed with a sequence of four short chapters. Included is a CD to sing along to, or in my case, to massacre while Niedźwiedź says, "NO, Mama, NO".
Every few weeks I get stuck on a book, this week it is Leonardo the Terrible Monster (he couldn't scare anyone) by Mo Willems. Mo also wrote another favorite of mine which is sill on heavy rotation, Pigeon Wants a Puppy. The text is writen in simple colloquial speech and the illustrations are elegant & expressive, much like animation.
