My lovely bride gave me this very cool book for Christmas and I read it super fast.  (okay so it’s about 50% drawings to help tell the story-but still the fastest I’ve ever read 533 pages.)  It’s called The Invention of Hugo Cabret and was written by Brian Selznick.  It also won the famed Caldecott Medal.

It was a great story and an incredily creative medium for telling and enhancing the story.  Check it out and read it to your kids.
