be open-minded, flexible, and creative

I was listening to Science Friday on NPR... and I learned about "One Minute Mysteries" by Eric and Natalie Yoder.

The books look fun and engaging. 

While searching One Minute Mysteries, I stumbled upon this cool website: OneMinuteMysteries.com  Check out the Case Files to view sample puzzles.

My favorite quote:

"When solving these puzzles, throw out all your assumptions about what is going on, and of course, be open-minded, flexible, and creative."

The Dark

Lemony Snicket's 2013 picture book, 

The Dark, illustrated by Jon Klassen.

"Lasszlo is afraid of the dark.The dark lives in the same house as Laszlo. Mostly, though, the dark stays in the basement and doesn't come into Laszlo's room. But one night, it does.This is the story of how Laszlo stops being afraid of the dark."

so many books...

... so little time.

"The cave you fear to enter 

holds the treasure you seek."

... which begs the question, "What is normal?"

You can read the first two chapters free on amazon.
