Looking to put a twinkle in your wrinkle? A little rage in your age? We've got just the book for you! Photographer Bob Elsdale has found an extremely unlikely source of inspiration for this irresistible book on the joys of aging-some enormous but very agile elephants.
Even if getting older is no day at the beach, that's just where Elsdale's elephants engage in some surprising behavior. The playful pachyderms frolic in the surf, knock around beach balls, lounge in the sun, play tic-tac-toe, and even enjoy catching waves on surfboards.
So what does all this have to do with empowering the elders among us? Lots, as it turns out. The simple but inspired text is full of wry reminders that there are lots of advantages to getting older and endless opportunities to enjoy them. After all, when you've reached a certain age, "No one gets suspicious when you fool around," according to Elsdale's elephants. And, "everywhere is memory lane."
A historic herd of baby boomers begins turning 60 this year. And even if they sometimes feel a little weary, they're still young at heart. After all, it's not the body that counts-it's the gray matter that matters. Looking to put a twinkle in your wrinkle? A little rage in your age? We've got just the book for you!

Photographer Bob Elsdale's pink-curlicued piglet in Pretty in Pink: Why It's Good to Be a Girl! offers a myriad of specific reasons why it's far superior to be made of sugar and spice and all things nice, as opposed to slugs, snails, and puppy dog tails.
Through pinkly hued photographic spreads, Pretty in Pink: Why It's Good to Be a Girl! epitomizes girl power and piglet style. From a rub-a-dub-dub in the tub to an innocent indulgence of chocolate chips to rocketing across the sky and chasing dreams, we're reminded that:
·"A girl's best friend is . . . always her best friend." 
·"A bit of indulgence is fine." 
·"The sky's the limit." 
·"Sometimes your best assets are behind you."

Before I was even born, you loved me." --Mom, I'm a Lucky Duck From the photographer of elegantly ageless elephants in Gray Matter and the porcine with panache from Pretty in Pink comes a chick hatchling tale to honor moms. Celebrating mom's roles as nurturer, teacher, and cheerleader, Elsdale's photographic spreads of feathery fledgling chicks are perfectly paired with Regan's heartfelt verse: * "Whenever I lost my way and my feathers were ruffled, you were there to smooth them." * "With every loving act and patient lesson, you prepared me for my life ahead." * I know I've still got a lot to learn about life, but I do know one thing for sure . . . I'm a lucky duck to have a mom like you."

The Two of Us celebrates togetherness with two adorable, and sometimes hilarious, baby chimpanzees named Kenzy and Willie. The candid photographs of these primate pals remind us of the unbreakable bonds we share with our nearest and dearest. With a wonderful and emotional story that runs throughout the book, Bob Elsdale's moving full-color photography captures the realness of togetherness. Like peanut butter and jelly or cookies and milk, some things just go better together. We all need a yin to our yang, whether it's hanging out with a soul mate, sharing secrets with a kindred spirit, or just plain monkeying around.
