Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

Remarkable author and their remarkable series and the remarkable new one

Remarkably Ruby (Emmie & Friends, #6) by Terri Libenson

by Leave a Comment

Remarkably Ruby (Emmie & Friends, #6) by Terri Libenson continues the characters we have grown to love in the other Emmie & Friends graphic novels. But this time we take a character we have only seen as a running joke (literally as she is usually running to the bathroom) and one I do not remember seeing. Having these two characters who are the narrators not featured in other books was nice. You see the established world of this middle school environment in a new light. And […]

Fun and Pun reading time

You’re the Apple of My Pie. by Rose Rossner

You're the Star in My Sky: A Star Light, Star Bright Story by Susanna Leonard Hill

by Leave a Comment

Two different but similarly toned books are You’re the Apple of My Pie (Punderland) and You’re the Star in My Sky: A Star Light, Star Bright Story. Both titles are sweet, bedtime, naptime, resting time, but also reading time as there is fun and puns. Both titles are great for most ages and perfect gifts for the special little ones in your life. (Reader copies were read for the below titles). Rose Rossner made a little love with You’re the Apple of My Pie. They also […]

I wish the cat in the below image was mine, but it’s not, so I’ll just keep on reading cat books like Flubby

Flubby Does Not Like the Snow by J. E. Morris

Flubby Will Not Play with That by J. E. Morris

Flubby Will Not Go to Sleep by J. E. Morris

Flubby Does Not Like Valentines’ Day by J. E. Morris

by Leave a Comment

I am starting with the title Flubby Does Not Like Valentines’ Day as my first title as it was the first book of the series I read. However, though I am seeing it came out in December, I cannot say for sure as I read these J. E. Morris titles online. I cannot find it located any place for purchase. Therefore, I will just say that it is about Valentine’s Day and how Flubby the Cat is not a fan. Until he is. And that […]

How Dinosaurs Went Extinct: A Safety Guide by Ame Dykman

by Leave a Comment

Did you ever wonder how dinosaurs went extinct? Well in How Dinosaurs Went Extinct: A Safety Guide you will learn all the horrible things they did (or did not do) that made them go kaput! Like picking their nose and eating the boogie. Like never changing their underwear. They went extinct because they were not looking both ways. They liked butting things with their heads and not wearing helmets. And they never cleaned their rooms, so they got squished! Wait? You mean that is not […]

It’s the end of the day and I can’t come up with a good title so, here it is….

Remember by Joy Harjo

Jake Makes a World: Jacob Lawrence, a Young Artist in Harlem by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts

The theme of the review: Cool books you need on your shelves to read. And  CBR15Passport, new to me author(s) (but I know one artist) When you pick up Remember by Joy Harjo you will find a poetic piece of artwork. Michaela Goade adds to this by painting imagery that is bold, bright, deep, romantic, serious, and light. The mixture of the text and illustrations gives a story of family, the individuality, and the authors Mvskoke Nation heritage. It is a celebration of looking around […]

The stories might be appropriate, but the company is not
