The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (For Beginning Readers)

What a team! Oscar the Grouch, The Cat in the Hat, Max, Mr. Tickle and Scuffy the Tugboat. Of course Max would be their leader with his "magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once." (by DrFaustusAU)

Mr. Men & Little Miss Game Of Thrones

Mr. Men & Little Miss Game Of Thrones

Take Ned Stark, Joffrey, Arya, Littlefinger, Khal Drogo, Samwell Tarly and boil them down to their core characteristic and you have the Game of Thrones as Mr. Men and Little Miss books.

The tumblr mrandlittlemissgot.tumblr.com is drawing 30 of the GOT characters over the next few weeks. These are the first six - and I'd love to read Mr. Rageous.

And To Think That I Hulked Out On Mulberry Street

I love looking back into an artists work and seeing what else they have done and doing that with cartoonist and illustrator Ryan Dunlavey is a treasure trove. These are four Dr. Seuss-inspired superhero books that I am well familiar with.

Direwolf, Direwolf, What Do You See?

"If Westeros had a picture book to teach preschoolers the house sigils and words, Eric Carle would write and illustrate it. Inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?"

Now that I'm most of the way through A Storm of Swords, the third book in the Game of Thrones, I think this series could have been very helpful. I don't know if mrstater created this, but it's as close as I could find.

Mo' Bunnies Mo' Problems

A more succinct title for Beatrix Potter's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies from Better Book Titles, a blog for "people who do not have thousands of hours to read book reviews or blurbs or first sentences. I will cut through all the cryptic crap, and give you the meat of the story in one condensed image."

Space Oddity: The Book

Andrew Kolb has taken David Bowie's Space Oddity and turned it into an illustrated children's book, full of bright, happy folk. Well, at least until the end. I don't think I could read it to my kid without having to answer some uncomfortable questions, but it looks beautiful. Comics Alliance has the whole book on their site and you can download it here.

Revenge of the Damsels

"At Magic Maggie’s School For The Feminine And Fictional, we wholeheartedly believe that no women’s safety should ever depend on whether or not she’s kissed a frog. A woman should never have to lock her self-worth away in a tower of co-dependence as she waits for some prince to unlock her potential. Instead, we teach our ladies to be their own heroes by giving them the skills they’ll need to face any cunning creature or horrible witch that comes their way." (via shirt.woot)

Mad Mr. Men

When this came out last year I was amused because of the Mr. Men reference but I wasn't watching Mad Men at the time. Now while sitting in front of the TV and nearing the end of Season Two I remembered The Poke's take on these advertising icons. They nailed Sterling.
