A Tom Robbins-esque Interstellar Freak-out

Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore

by Leave a Comment

This is the story of a man named Milo. Well, frequently a man, but sometimes a woman, a rabbit, a tree, a fish, a bug- any number of things. Sometimes he’s on earth: the Midwest, Japan, Africa, a top-secret lab in the great plains- and sometimes he’s in space. He’s always in love, but usually in love with Death. Not dying- just one of the many personifications of Death. She’s usually a woman named Suzy, but sometimes she’s a witch, or a candle maker, or the wind itself. Milo and Suzy are tangled up in the kinds of knots that […]

Wilfred just wants a friend

Wilfred by Ryan T. Higgins

by Leave a Comment

Wilfred is a cute little story about friendship and what it means. This was not an OMG! THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER book; but as also not the worse book ever. There is much to like and dislike. This story that Ryan T. Higgins created is a mile may vary book. Wilfred is not the best-looking creature, but not necessarily not cute. The story has overtures to Rudolph’s Bumble. Bumble wanted a job, and Wilfred just wants a friend. What comes out of it is a story of a pet and his boy. The images (such as Wilfred) are […]

Q: What do ye call a pirate with two eyes and two legs? (A: A Rookie! )

Pirates Don’t Go to Kindergarten by Lisa Robinson

by Leave a Comment

I am not crazy about the story of Pirates Don’t Go to Kindergarten due to the slightly bratty nature of the main pirate. I mean, character. Emma is not fond of the idea of “moving on” to kindergarten from preschool. The ship will not be the same without her favorite cubbies, spots and most importantly, her favorite captain. Besides, going to kindergarten means her new captain is one that explores the universe. And what fun is that? This idea of not wanting change, is not a new concept, but Lisa Robinson does take this story on a more modern approach. […]

The Magic Mirror Was Not Amused

The Evil Princess vs. the Brave Knight by Jennifer Holm

by Leave a Comment

The Evil Princess vs. the Brave Knight (Book 1) strikes me as The Pain and the Great One for the 21st century. The Evil Princess and The Brave Knight are two siblings who do not always get along. And with the talents of sibling team Jennifer and Matthew Holm, one creative funny story about brothers and sisters comes about. I am assuming this story might be “close to home” for the author and illustrator. Or in other words, they are the inspiration for said siblings. Evil Princesses trip Brave Knights. And when Brave Knights get hurt, the Magic Mirror is not amused. […]

His first day of kindergarten

The King of Kindergarten by Derrick Barnes

by Leave a Comment

The best part of The King of Kindergarten is it is just a story about going to kindergarten. There is nothing preachy or moral giving about it. There are great illustrations and a fun story about one young man’s adventures when he goes off to his first day of kindergarten. The not so best of The King of Kindergarten is it is just a story about going to kindergarten. While it has a more modern feel and tone than books of the past, there is nothing new to tell you about kindergarten. They paint and snack and nap and have […]

When your crazy camp founder wants you to find his (possibly real) lost treasure

Pathfinders Society: The Mystery of the Moon Tower by Francesco Sedita

by Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #RadingtheTBR Not out until April 2020, I am seriously unable to wait patiently for the second book/for the ending! Ending on a slow cliffhanger, Francesco Sedita and Prescott Seraydarian created a fun graphic novel for kids into adventure, realistic fantasy, and friendship in The Pathfinders Society: The Mystery of the Moon Tower. Ages 8 to 10 can follow Kyle, Vic, Beth, Harry, and Nate, five kids with nothing in common but being at the Pathfinders camp, where kids swim, deal with random and frequent downpours of rain and bouts of fog, treasure hunt and dodge natural gas leaks. (In […]

An Elf, a Human and a Dwarf walk into a tabletop role playing game

Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy

by Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #And So it Begins This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I was not even half way through the first chapter when something hit me as so FREAKING (only I really did not say freaking) funny I laughed so hard, I hurt myself. Yes. The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins caused me physical pain. Darn you Clint, Griffin, Justin, and Travis McElroy. And darn you Carey Pietsch for encouraging this team by illustrating their podcast in this graphic novel series! You might want a basic understanding of Dungeon & Dragons(D&D), but it is not needed. Just know […]

Wake up to a beautiful day in Morningtown!

Welcome to Morningtown by Blake Liliane Hellman

by Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #Youth I started this book a few weeks back while waiting for a Goodbye Lunch of our long-time accounting person (she is leaving us after 34 years) to start. I put it in my mailbox for safe keeping (after all there was quiche for lunch). Due to the fact I no memory of what happened (except there was this hilarious, realistic, oh-so-typical image of a little kid flushing the toilet while holding up their pants in one hand and not quite covering everything up) I started at the beginning again. I would then go through Welcome to Morningtown almost […]
