Best Instructional Book for iLife 05?

I recently bought a 20" iMac with iSight. My wife really wants to learn to use iMovie and iDVD to make home videos. I don't have a lot of time to spend teaching her (I'm not exactly an expert either) and would like to find a good, illustrated guide geared toward new users that she can use on her own. I did buy "The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition" to learn OSX, but it's not really geared toward iLife. What are the best books out there for iLife 05?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. The missing manual series is good for me, but I'm looking for something with more illustrations and written for a novice user.

After some searching, I think I'm going with this: The Macintosh iLife '05: An Interactive Guide to iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, and GarageBand
by Jim Heid

Thanks again for your help.
