If you do a Google search for “card catalog” it will likely return Pinterest-worthy images of antique furniture for sale — boxy, wooden cabinets with tiny drawers, great for storing knick-knacks, jewelry or art supplies.

But before these cabinets held household objects, they held countless index cards — which, at the time, were the pathways to knowledge and information. A new book from the Library of Congress celebrates these catalogs as the analog ancestor of the search engine.

Picture books are delightful for kids of all ages. Some are bright and colorful, some are quiet and subtle. Some are whimsical (some have talking animals!) others are clever and cheeky. Some are melancholy and others are sweet and others offbeat and funny. Here are a few we think are extra-special, for all these reasons and more.

For the little reader in your life (or yourself; we won’t judge).

A Fantastic, Fantastical Book for the New, Cool Woman in My Life

Reader, rejoice: People are still wooing each other with books. Our columnist suggests titles to impress a love interest whose tastes run to fantasy.

"Mixtapes may be virtually obsolete, my friend noted, but seduction through books — another courting method left over from the analog age — lives on." Be honest, who's used a book to woo someone?? Or been wooed by one?
