This second book in the Guardians of Childhood series (following The Man in the Moon) has equally drool-worthy pictures, with intricate details and a glowing light: sort of Arthur Rackham meets Maxfield Parrish. I don't love the name "Sanderson Mansnoozie," but I suppose it keeps the book from taking itself too seriously. 
 "The Rise of the Guardians" movie comes out Nov. 20.
