A couple of good travel books for your summer reading enjoyment.

A bedtime book for parents

Here is a Youtube clip of Samuel L. Jackson reading Go the F**K to Sleep by Adam Mansbach. Any parent can relate to the frustration the narrator feels trying to get his little one to sleep. It is written and illustrated to mimic a typical bedtime story for toddlers. But the F-word on every page makes it clear this book is for an adult audience.

Cute gift idea.

Book art

Artist Mike Stilkey uses book covers to create art.

New Patch blog and BibliOak

This one is about summer vacation and camping. BibliOak just came up today. I haven't had a chance to test it out, but it looks fancy :)
