"Mickeys on Boobies" and other Ron English Work

We attended a very special opening for master pop surrealist painter Ron English's highly anticipated solo show at The Corey Helford Gallery. Lulu's photos from the show are seen in the slideshow above. It's awesome to see what exactly catches her eye, or maybe more truly, is captured in her lens when she can finally trigger the button. Lulu's favorite piece was "Mickeys on Boobies". It was one of mine too.

Take your kid to the gallery. I'm certain they will have as much fun finding the Teletubbies, Charlie Browns, Mickey Mouses, and other well-known animated characters as Lulu did.

An early favorite of Lulu's, she loved the rhythmic words and sing-song feel of the book. A must for all urban dwelling tots!
Maurice Sendak: Where the Wild Things Are
A family favorite. Lulu loves the party part of the book (maybe it's our sound effects)!

Lift flaps to uncover and discover secret treasures.
Amy Wilson Sanger: Yum Yum Dim Sum
What a great book to teach Lulu about a family food favorite. The words are catchy if not a bit hoakie.
