Good Reads For Christmas - Part 1

For those who are looking for a good fantasy book for small children, I can recommend Mary C. Fairbanks' The Affairs of Dragons. It
contains a collection of wonderful dragon tales. (Actually, this is the title of the new printed edition 'Dragon Tales'.)
I have recently reviewed this book for SQ and I really enjoyed it.

For poetry lovers, I can recommend Second Opinion, an excellent collection by Tony Thorne who is also known as science fiction and non-fiction writer. Second Opinion is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and it has to be read multiple times.

A Funny Children's Book About Cats - The Wild Cats of Piran: Chronicle One by Scott Alexander Young

The Wild Cats of Piran: Chronicle One is the first part of a series of children's books by Scott Alexander Young , who is also known as the creator of the TV series Max's Midnight Movies . The book includes charming illustrations by Moreno Christe and it is about the adventures of a group of wild cats and their clever, beautiful, and somewhat mysterious leader, Queen Felicia . Her best friends, Dragan and Magyar, all have very different personalities and these cats are able to use magic on certain occasions. They live in a nice seaside town in Slovenia, which is a great place for them, except for when they meet some of their enemies, including local rats and certain local humans. The book is also enjoyable for adults because of the story, the humour and because it is also beautifully written . Unfortunately, the story ends too early and the other parts in the series have not been published yet. The Wild Cats of Piran is highly recommended for cat lovers everywhere.
