Christmas after All by Kathryn Lasky
This is an important and detailed contemporary account by a German staff officer - who witnessed many of the events that he describes - based on primary material from official records of operations of the First Army in the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War. General Manteuffel's army, fighting over the same ground in the Somme and Picardy that would see bitter fighting in the Great War four decades later, engaged the French in such actions as Amiens, Buchy and Bapaume before besieging Peronne

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.
