Bub or The Very Best Thing (SIGNED COPY)
by: Babbitt, Natalie

Hardcover. NY, HarperCollins, 1st, 1994, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. SIGNED by Babbitt on title page. Babbitt ( Tuck Everlasting ; Knee knock Rise ) has created some extraordinary children's books, and this one is no exception. It is, quite simply, Babbitt at her best. In a medieval castle, a king and queen argue a crucial question: what is the "best thing" for their young prince? The king insists that his wife gives the child too many toys ("If this keeps up, he'll turn out soft and silly"); she retorts that he gives him too many lessons ("If that keeps up, he'll turn out dry and dusty"). The king resorts to his books to find the answer, whereas the queen polls everyone she meets. The responses run the gamut from "vegetables" (the day nursemaid) to "sunshine" (the gardener) to "a song" (the court musician). But it is the cook's daughter who points the perplexed parents in the right direction, instructing them to ask the prince himself. "Bub," replies the toddler, which translates into the inarguably "very best thing": love. This splendid story is matched by exquisite artwork, which offers a refreshingly realistic depiction of the medieval setting and featuring the royal dog (patiently sporting a court jester's cap), who is entirely devoted to the very lovable prince.

Popol Vuh: A Sacred Book of the Maya
by: Victor Montejo /Luis Garay

Hardcover. Toronto, Groundwood Books, 1st, 1999, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 85 pages, color plates by Luis Garay. The Mayans have long fascinated modern readers with their complex written language, sophisticated mathematics, and advanced astronomy. In Guatemala in 1558, a young Mayan Kiche man transcribed what he called a sacred book that we can no longer see. This was the Popul Vuh, the Mayans' written account of the creation of the universe, the gods and demi-gods who occupied that universe, and the story of how man was created by them. Furthermore, it traced, generation by generation, the lineage of the Mayan lords down to their imprisonment and torture by the Spanish invaders. Considered the Mayan bible, the Popol Vuh appears here in an authoritative, gorgeously illustrated version by noted Maya anthropologist Victor Montejo, who has captured all the drama and excitement of one of the worlds great creation stories. Clean copy.
