Art and Max by David Wiesner

This is a tale of two lizards. Art can paint masterpieces, but Max can't and pleads with Art (or Arthur as he prefers to be called) to teach him. What follows is a disastrous, hilarious lesson in various forms of art media.
I'll admit it, the cover is what really drew (no pun intended) to this book. I just love the facial expressions on both lizards throughout the book itself. Arthur is serious and thoughtful while little Max is just a little too enthusiastic about learning. Plus, who can resist lizards with paintbrushes? This book is great for budding artists ages 8 and up.

Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door by Adam Rubin & Daniel Salmieri

Old Man Fookwire has grown to tolerate the squirrels who made their debut in Those Darn Squirrels, but now he has a new enemy, Muffins, his new neighbor's cat. Muffins is mean, scaring the birds, giving the squirrels noogies, and ruins Old Man Fookwire's painting. It's up to the clever squirrels to put an end to Muffins' reign of terror.
I really liked enjoyed the subtle humor hidden in the pictures. For instance, the way Muffins has his paws steepled together reminded me of the Simpsons' Mr. Burns. Another example of the subtle humor is the lines "She thought Muffins was a cuddly honey bunny. But after the infamous poodle incident, she'd decided to to move to the forest so that her cat could make some new friends." This book is great for kids from 1 to 100.

Sam Appleby wants a plastic sword and toy lazer guns just like his friend, but his dad won't get him any violent toys. Instead, Sam gets a balloon and a sunflower, both of which are boring to Sam. But little does he know how helpful these items are when it comes to defeating a bank robber. I really the liked the way the bank robber is captured, very MacGyver-like.
