Every page of this book is a treasure trove of quotes, illustrations, and fan art. Fans of Lemony Snicket will devour this collection of “dubious wit and wisdom.” There are references in words and art to his Series of Unfortunate Events, as well as musings on topics such as adventure and friendship. Some pages will make you laugh out loud and others will inspire a more quiet meditation. It is a book that once devoured, readers will want to dip back into once in a while. It would make a great gift book, but it is hard to see its place in a library. Although, it must be noted that there are a lot of wonderful quotes about librarians in this book. So might I suggest that this would make a great gift for your favorite librarian? Recommended for Grades 4 through Adult.
