A hilarious picture book about an endearing little crank who thinks the museum is absolutely awful . . . or is it actually awesome? Art can be a lot of things--wondrous, inspiring, transformative . . . but mostly it's boring! And visiting an art museum? Double boring! Come along with a curmudgeonly young boy--who's more interested in finger painting his cat than "admiring art"--as he's begrudgingly taken to the local museum by his well-meaning mother. Seriously, what's so great about scribbles and squares and dots? OK, sure, that portrait made of cubes is kind of cool. And those sculptures made of clay are pretty awesome . . . Gasp! Maybe he does like art after all?! Well, would that be so awful?

With nods to famous artists and art movements on every page, and back mat

With a curious mind and a vast vocabulary (thanks to her wallpaper--pages of a discarded human dictionary), tiny Minerva Shrew would love nothing more than to solve the Big Mysteries of Life and the Universe. Instead, in The Case of the Pilfered Pearls, she's called upon to help her cousin Tenacity solve a mystery in the most dangerous of places: a human house.

Will Minerva find the true culprit before the exterminators arrive? With wit and warmth, Margi Preus creates a charming woodland world filled with creatures both whimsical and nefarious (neh-FARE-ee-us: wicked or criminal), along with suspense, intr
