Last year I received a most wonderful “pop-up celebration” book from my friend Teuchter – The Twelve Days of Christmas by Robert Sabuda – which I featured over on this post. And then a couple of weeks ago another pop-up popped up, again sent by Teuchter. This one called The Night Before Christmas.

My favourite room in casa az is the living room. And my favourite feature of that room is the built-in bookcase that fills one entire wall.

But this means that if the books are actually lined up straight with the edge of the shelves they aren’t flat against the wall on the left-hand side … which leaves a perfect hiding place for sneaky little kittens.

I just had to share this after seeing it over on loricat’s booknook.
Especially as Moby Dick is one of those very few books that I’ve started on several occasions but have never been able to finish (well, until now 😉 ), much to my friend Blues’s dismay. Luckily Blues still talks to me after the copy he sent me as a gift remains only partially read.
Hope you enjoy this wonderful illustrated haiku Moby Dick as much as I did.
