Taking up where the No. 1 New York Times best-selling serial, “The Spiderwick Chronicles” left off, the Field Guide begins with a thoughtful and informative introduction, progressing through six exhaustive sections featuring 31 faerie species, and culminating with an addendum that includes observations supplied by Jared Grace. It delivers enough information to satisfy even the most demanding faerie enthusiast. Not only will readers learn the habits and habitats of the 14 fantastical creatures, they also will be delighted and astonished by an additional 17 creatures. Also included are dozens of snippets from Arthur Spiderwick’s personal journal as well as cameos from a few series favorites.

A squirrel named Micawber loves the paintings he sees through the windows of the nearby art museum. One day he notices an artist copying the old masters, and he decides to do the same — with surprising results. In their second collaboration, best-selling author-illustrator team John Lithgow and C. F. Payne introduce children to the world of art through the eyes — and paint-splattered tail — of a highly creative squirrel. Micawber, a squirrel fascinated by art, leaves a museum with an art student and secretly uses her supplies to make his own paintings.
— Emily Bieritz, manager of The Toy Box in Amherst, Mass., told TDmonthly in a December 2014 interview that Micawber is one of the best-selling books at their store.

Author Lara Bergen and illustrator Betsy Snyder tell the tale of an eco-conscious superhero in this lift-the-flap board book. Kids who read the book will learn that with a little super-imagination, trash can become treasure. Parents can visit publisher Simon and Schuster’s site to download activities and crafts based on the book.
— Bob Walch of Book Loons exclaimed, “This picture book practices what it preaches — it is made from 100% recycled material!” He praised the conscience-raising storyline but cautioned that the recycled paper may cause some flaps to tear easily.
San Francisco Book Review’s Kaye Cloutman recommended the book as a kid-friendly way to explain what happens to trash and why recycling matters. She added that kids will be attracted to the transformations from trash to treasure achieved by the flaps.

Robert Sabuda's dazzling pop-ups illustrate a tale that highlights the wonders of a winter landscape. The paper constructions are amazing: an owl soars off the page; a cave lifts and opens to show a family of foxes concealed within; and a waterfall cascades into a rushing river where a bear darts forward to catch the fish that swim above the water's surface. All of the animals are sculpted out of flat white paper, making them stand out against the more colorful woodsy backdrops.
— “Amazing!” gushed Peggy Wilcox, manager of the children’s section of the Boise, Idaho, Barnes & Noble. “I bought four myself for Christmas presents. They’re rethinking the whole idea of children’s books.”
— “The best seller I have, bar none,” responded Douglas Gronsky, owner of The Book Club in Boston. “It’s so beautiful, no one can resist it, young or old.”
— “[It’s] inspired by Sabuda’s childhood,” explained Donna Walcott, owner of Donna’s Books in Panama City Beach, Fla. “The final scene is the most amazing pop-up I’ve ever seen.”
