Must love cats

P Is for Purr by Carole Gerber

April 19, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

P Is for Purr and for Perfect, and Packed, and Powerful and Pretentious. And only three of those descriptor words are correct to describe this book (if you cannot guess, it is not pretentious). This is an alphabet book that takes basic or common things about cats (they purr for P) and some educational things (X for Xanthus Av Jostedalsbreen or Norwegian Forest Cat) and makes a cute book for cat lovers of all ages. Carole Gerber and Susanna Covelli must love cats. A lot. […]

It has crabs

A is for Axolotl: An Unusual Animal ABC. by Catherine Macorol

March 25, 2022 by BlackRaven 5 Comments

I admit when I first heard of a fossa, I thought it was something made up for one of the Madagascar movies. But NO! It is REAL! As are all the wonderful and goofy animals you will find in A is for Axolotl: An Unusual Animal ABC. First, you might need to learn how to pronounce such critters as axolotl, quokka, vaquita, and others. There is (at least in my reader copy) no pronunciation guide.  Catherine Macorol, next time, even if it is a reader […]

A new alphabet

Letters to Live By: An Alphabet Book with Intention by Lisa Frenkel Riddiough

March 11, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was not sure how Letters to Live By: An Alphabet Book with Intention would present itself. What is an “intention” alphabet book? It seemed a little old fashioned. Maybe it would more spiritual?  Maybe it would a bit more conservative? It was not conservative, but it was with a classic tone and some “old fashioned” but needed ideas. What Lisa Frenkel Riddiough did was take the alphabet and paired same lettered words to teach such concepts as generosity, excellence, joy, and compassion. I was […]

25 Symbols of the Alphabet

My Pet Feet by Josh Funk

January 14, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While I am not saying My Pet Feet is an OMG THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER! I am saying it was the little something I was looking for when I read it. It is a book you need to sit and enjoy. Do not rush or you will miss some of the kooky humor Josh Funk has written. I do enjoy the concept and presentation. My “not a five” is because the fact certain words do not flow easy when the letter R is […]

D is not just for Dog any more.

D Is for Drool: My Monster Alphabet by Amanda Noll

January 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

D Is for Drool: My Monster Alphabet is from the I Need My Monster series.  The lead singers are Amanda Noll and Shari Dash Greenspan with Howard McWilliam on illustrations. We the reader find out that T is for Tentacles, D is for Drool, C is for Claws, and each lyrical letter gets its own monster worded page. Or could share the page but gets its own spot as the parade of monsters walk by to help the young child of the book fall asleep. […]

One sweater and 26 alligators

Soomi’s Sweater by Susie Oh

Doris' Dear Delinquents by Emma Ward

November 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The two books that were silver winners of the 2020 Colors Award was Soomi’s Sweater and Doris’ Dear Delinquents. These two Clavis Publishing titles I enjoyed more than the winner. Even though I understand the win, I decided that I was looking for something lighter, that was more fun and yet, still has a strong story and “pop” to it. Soomi’s Sweater by Susie Oh  I adore the illustrations! They are sweet, simple (not simplistic) and colorful. The blue/green and yellows pop off the page. […]
