What Natasha Wants to Buy - Calendar Edition

I still can't even believe that 2010 is three quarters over! But, on the up-side, that means that we're starting to get 2011 calendars in! And there are TONS of awesome ones. Here are my top 3!

Taro Gomi Daily Doodle
$12.99

Downstairs in the Chapter Book Room
Spend EVERY DAY of 2011 drawing genius masterpieces! Every day of this page-a-day calendar features a simple line-drawing from Taro Gomi (of Everyone Poops! fame) that you can finish with pens, pencils, crayons or markers. For example, one day, there's a foot, and you're supposed to draw the shoe that the foot is wearing! Or there's a monkey with a thought bubble, and you're supposed to draw what he's dreaming of... There will be so many masterpieces in 2011, you could send a drawn picture to every one of your friends and family members. Or keep the best ones for yourself and start your own calendar-museum and gallery!


Charley Harper Wall Calendar
$13.99
Downstairs in the Chapter Book Room
I'm so glad Charley Harper has recently grown in popularity. I remember his awesome, minimalist yet playful illustrations of animals and insects from issues of 'Ranger Rick' in elementary school, and now it seems that every month or so there's some new, cute things with his very best work beautifully rendered on it. And now, my wall can render my very favorite Charley Harper illustrations on it ALL YEAR LONG! Included in this gorgeous wall calendar are 12 amazing, huge, full-color illustrations including one of my all-time favorites, "Otterly Delicious," which the lucky July birthday boy or girl gets as a month-long birthday present!


Wonderful Wizard of Oz Engagement Calendar
$13.99

Downstairs in the Chapter Book Room
What if you could spend a whole year in the Wonderful Land of Oz? You practically could, if you made this awesome calendar yours for 2011! Put together by the Library of Congress and featuring full-color illustrations from the first edition of L. Frank Baum's classic all-American fairy tale. It's a spiral bound weekly calendar with pictures on every page. This will make all your important meetings and to-dos feel like part of an epic adventure to meet the Wonderful Wizard! Just watch out for those winged monkeys!
