Cozy read for you, brave adventure for our hero

Gustav Is Missing!: A Tale of Friendship and Bravery by Andrea Zuill

July 14, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Gustav Is Missing!: A Tale of Friendship and Bravery is not necessarily the best book I have read, or the funniest, or even the most unique of messages; but it is all those things and more. Andrea Zuill created a picture book about a small mushroom, Little Cap, and his pet slug, Gustav, that was funny (when Gustav is unfortunately surprised, he falls spread eagle on the ground; there is an adorable pouty mushroom towards the end; when Little Cap thinks Gustav might be attacked […]

That’s Some Pig!

Business Pig by Andrea Zuill

November 7, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The cute illustrations of Andrea Zuill’s Business Pig do not quite make up for slightly weak story line. We have seen the “be yourself” and “good things” will come to you before.

Jasper, our lovable hero, is a “gen-u-WINE Business Pig!” And he knows that if he waits, tries some new advertising tricks as well as some tried and […]
