Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Guide Book to the Great Tree by Kathryn Lasky
Finally, for all free folk of air, land and water seeking knowledge of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree; its ways, its days, its heroes known and unknown . . . a guide! Studious by nature, fortunate to have been present at the most glorious moments in the tree's recent history, and above all honoured to count as friends its most ardent champions, I, Otulissa, have decided to write a compendium, a catch-all-in short, a guide-to the history, life and spirit of the tree. Pause a moment before the next adventure begins to read of its natural history, its origin and yearly changes. Read of its lesser-known heroes: of Joss, brave messenger of legends; of the brothers Ifghar and Ezylryb and the treachery that bound them; and of Theo, the peaceful warrior.

Matthew Trueman spent his childhood in Italy but returned to the United States to attend art school. He is the illustrator of A PICTURE FOR MARC and NOAH'S MITTENS. He lives in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
Of ONE BEETLE TOO MANY, he says: The illustrations in this book started out as drawings created with acrylic inks, watercolor, and graphite pencil. I moved up the food chain to add gouache and colored pencil. After sealing the pictures with acrylic medium, I did my thicker acrylic painting, then fooled around a little more with graphite and colored pencil. Finally, I added the collage elements, including paper, string, and weeds and wildflowers from my yard and nearby ditches and fields.
