The Invention of Hugo Cabret, A Recommended Book

One of the Many Amazing Drawings

For our school's auction this year, each teacher and staff member is donating a new, hard covered book that they love.  With each book, there will be an inscription telling why this book is beloved by that person.  All books will be auctioned off in a bookcase for one lucky family.  

I am donating the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which is pictured above.  The first time I read this book, I was amazed.  It is quite a thick book which is filled with both an amazing story and wonderful black and white drawings.  Also pictured above, you can see one of my favorite drawings that is found in the book.  

As I typed this entry for today, I also decided to include all the titles of the books being donated because it sure is a good list.  For anyone looking to get a great book, here are many to choose from:
