Isserley picks up hitchhikers with big muscles. She, herself, is tiny-like a kid peering up over the steering wheel. She has a remarkable face and wears the thickest corrective lenses anyone has ever seen. Her posture is suggestive of some spinal problem. Her breasts are perfect; perhaps implants. She is strangely erotic yet somehow grotesque, vulnerable yet threatening. Her hitchhikers are a mixed bunch of men-trailer trash and travelling postgrads, thugs and philosophers. But Isserley is only interested in whether they have families and whether they have muscles. Then, it's only a question of how long she can endure her pain-physical and spiritual-and their conversation. Michel Faber's work has been described as a combination of Roald Dahl and Franz Kafka, as Somerset Maugham shacking up with Ian McEwan. At once humane and horrifying, Under the Skin takes us on a heart-thumping ride through dangerous territory-our own moral instincts and the boundaries of compassion. A grotesque and comical allegory announcing the arrival of an exciting talent, rich and assured.

Fish, dolphins, and huge whales are some of the sea creatures in this book. Feels Real Books each have “feels real” textures for toddlers to touch and recognize. Books feature vivid color animal photos on every page. With Mom or Dad to read each story aloud, kids will also begin learning about the many different animals that live around the world. Meanwhile, the heavy board covers and pages are sturdy enough to withstand rough treatment from tiny hands.

Sneaking an early grammar lesson into a book about animals, Under the Sea offers up a fun, foundational introduction to both sea life and pairs of directional words. Simple, rhythmical text introduces creatures and their surroundings by placing them in relative positions to each other. Detailed illustrations, meanwhile, provide a colorful backdrop of the developing ocean scene. Set within a durable board book format, this is a title all young readers will get behind!
