1967 was not groovy all over

I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 Graphic Novel) by Georgia Ball

by Leave a Comment

The I Survived Series in the novel format is fun, but I think they were (especially I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 Graphic Novel) was meant for the graphic novel genre. However, for the sensitive reader, there might be a few images and situations that might not be great for them. Adapted by Georgia Ball from the Lauren Tarshis series, there is no question what side the author is on when it comes to who is the “good bear” and who is the […]

Getting flowers

Beneath the Trees: First Spring by Dav

by Leave a Comment

The kid (or warthog) is a typical kid/hog in Beneath the Trees: First Spring by Dav. Not too bright, but curious (and that is not a negative comment, just an observation as babies do not have the intellect to understand things and have informed knowledge of the world around them). We quickly learn that the baby is allergic to flowers it seems, and they become scared every time they sneeze because of it. To the point that they throw one heck of a hissy fit […]

Dear Fair Folk! Fetch yourself these books

Sir Ladybug and the Queen Bee by Corey R. Tabor

Peanut, Butter, and Crackers Fetch! by Paige Braddock

by Leave a Comment

I recently found two series (well one I knew about but found a new one in it). They are just cute, take 10 minutes out of your adult day to read them to yourself, but would be fun bedtime, or sit and read time with your younger children. They are also good for the early to bit more advanced solo readers. I found the Sir Ladybug series right before book one came out. I just found out that book two is now also published. The […]

I think I need a read-again

As Night Falls: Creatures That Go Wild After Dark by Donna Jo Napoli

by Leave a Comment

What the H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS is As Night Falls: Creatures That Go Wild After Dark? When I saw the cover and title, I was thinking it was a book about going to bed as the world around you wakes up. And it is that. Somewhat. It is how the little creatures go crazy and eat other things. And jump around. And basically, have a wild rumpus gone way wild. It is about the larger animals doing the same thing. And I was okay with Felicita Sala illustrating […]
