Dandy by Ame Dyckman

April 4, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The interesting part of the book Dandy is, while it has Ame Dyckman’s signature style all over it, at the same time it does not feel like her other books. That, I think, is due to Charles Santos’s illustrations. They “tame down” her quirkiness. The main part of the story is a “daddy/daughter” story. This modern take on how a little girl makes a dandelion her beloved best friend, will have most people cheering on her imagination.  However, I’m with the original feeling of Daddy […]

Read the Book, too!

May 16, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Learning to read takes on a new twist with Read the Book, Lemmings by Ame Dyckman and Zachariah Ohora. When the lemmings are told to, “Read the book!” to learn how to be lemmings, it does not go as S.S. Cliff, First Mate Foxy planned. In fact, it goes very, very wrong!

    Thanks! And I wouldn't have said a word about it without bingo.

    on “Simon tries to remember where he’s supposed to put his hands, what a normal facial expression feels like, how to cosplay as a functional person.”
