Skunk and Badger #2 Egg Marks the Spot by Amy Timberlake

by 2 Comments

cbr13bingo Landscape (you can see the lake if you look carefully) Skunk and Badger #2 Egg Marks the Spot by Amy Timberlake is most likely even better than the first! Our heroes, Skunk (sweet, a bit naïve, passionate, a tad inconsiderate) and Badger (gruff, scientific, hungry, a good guy) decide to take off on an adventure to replace Badger’s missing rock in his collection. Skunk leads with his heart like he always does while packing; Badger takes on the task with common sense. But both will […]

Strange Planet: The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating Creature by Nathan W. Pyle

by Leave a Comment

cbr13bingo FAUNA  Strange Planet: The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating Creature is classic Nathan W. Pyle. This time around, instead of the more adult images of his comic strip, there is a more “kid friendliness” to the story as it is set in a “full length” picture book. This allows for all ages to enjoy this adventure. Our theme could have been seen in a strip but has been expanded for this presentation. The Offspring and The Lifegiver (two aliens of blue coloring and questionable attire wearing, […]

Minnie Mouse: Big, Dreams (Disney Original Graphic Novel) by Brooke Vitale

by Leave a Comment

I needed a quick, easy read recently. Looking through future publications in reader copy form, I landed on a Minnie Mouse book. And what could be easier than an aged (strong) 5 to 8 aimed graphic novel? After all, pop culture books tend not to get too deep. It took me two days to actual read it as Minnie Mouse: Big, Dreams (Disney Original Graphic Novel) by Brooke Vitale and the Walt Disney Company put me to sleep. (Yes, I was not the audience for […]

A Troop of Kangaroos: A Book of Animal Group Names by Lisa Mundorff

by Leave a Comment

How do you write a 250-word review on a book with probably less than 100 words? Very carefully! A Troop of Kangaroos: A Book of Animal Group Names (written and illustrated by Lisa Mundorff) is a clever book about names. And not just “Kathy Kangaroo” or “Sammy Sardine” or “Bob Otter.” No, I mean that a group of sardines is call a family. A bunch of kangaroos are called a troop. And a bunch of skunks are a real stench. No, really a stench of […]

Pup 681: A Sea Otter Rescue Story by Jean Reidy

by Leave a Comment

Pup 681: A Sea Otter Rescue Story is based loosely on an actual situation of an otter (Luna of the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago) being rescued. After I finished reading, I was not sure I liked this cute, poetic story of a baby otter and the adventure it takes to find their home. I feel that is probably since it was too cute for me in places, and maybe also even too short. But this book can be fun for the right audience. There are […]
