Back on the Lego trail with this: Beautiful Lego: Wild! by Mike Doyle. No kidding! Birds and bees, and lions, tigers, and bears (oh, my!) and other amazing creations made this a two cup of tea read. My favorites were the bird bath, an amazing unicorn, and the Husky. And the mouse (rodent) on a mouse (computer).

This took me to a 'how to' book about Lego. 365 Things To Do With Lego Bricks, by Simon Hugo is full of projects and games from easy to hard. There are games for one or more participants, artsy projects (check out the Seattle sky line!), to animals or vehicles large and small ... it looks like a lot of fun!

Another counting book, dog book, Sandra Boynton book here ... Doggies: a Counting and Barking Book is an amusing look at the sounds dogs make (and counting, of course)! It's probably no surprise that my favorite is 9.

Two trails merge as one here ... Shakespeare and Doctor Who! Doctor Who: the Shakespeare Notebooks. And while there is no author given on the title page, I found this: text by James Goss, Jonathan Morris, Julian Richards, Justin Richards, William Shakespeare and Matthew Sweet, with additional thanks to Becca Dunn, Jenni Sweet and Helen Cornes. The illustrations were done by Mike Collins. It is offered as 'proof' that the Doctor and Shakespeare knew each other, and met up several times. Overall a lot of fun, but I'll admit to some skimming here and there.
