Fur, Feather, Fin All of Us Are Kin and Mapping Sam are two science books that are not dull science. While Fur is more traditional science, it is written so it reads as a story. And Sam is a story that has information in it. Mapping Sam was my favorite out of the two. Joyce Hesselberth creates a story of a cat that puts their family to bed then goes out into the night on their nightly adventures. They explore all sorts of areas, climb […]
That sounds far-fetched
Rachel Isadora has created a reading and visual gem for the younger crowd with My Dog Laughs. The children and their dogs show how varied dogs are, as well as their owners. Each page shows how dogs make mistakes, give kisses, make friends, fart, eat and laugh. Each page shows there are tall, short, fluffy and all kinds of dogs. Yet, sometimes dogs look the same, too. Isadora shows how people take care of and love their canine buddies. Without being pushy, Isadora also shows […]
I saw Santa be a Grumpy Bear?
While there are some funny moments in Santa Bruce (one little girls Christmas gift wish is very amusing but makes me a little more a little bit scared! And I am nervous especially of her enthusiasm at the end when she gets something slightly different than what was asked for). But if I was Bruce? I would eat my “family.” If you know the Bruce books by Ryan T. Higgins you know this book. It just has a Christmas theme attached to it. When Bruce […]
I have happy feels
These three stories have nothing in common other than, they are really sweet stories about special people and special things. Is That You, Eleanor Sue? written and illustrated by Tricia Tusa. Harold Loves His Wolly Hat by Vern Kousky and When I First Met You, Blue Kangaroo! by Emma Chichester Clark give me happy feels. Eleanor Sue is a clever, cut kiddo who loves to pretend and play dress up. She loves her Saturdays, her mother, her grandmother and having fun. Harold loves his woolly […]
Animals make us human
cbr10bingo… Backlog BINGO #2 I got this on my Kindle on March 20, 2013. That’s over five years ago. I think it’s the first Kindle book I ever bought? I don’t know why it took me so long to read it. I guess I heard some stuff about how Temple Grandin was involved in helping to create humane slaughter practices, and I didn’t want to read about animal slaughter, even if it was humane. It turns out that only small parts of a few chapters talk […]
Bad-to-the-bone
Bad Guys in Intergalactic Gas is the fifth book in the Bad Guys series. And the first one I read. And of course, it is about…. farts. Okay, I was a 10-year-old-boy in a former life (I have proof as four years ago, my then 10-year-old nephew and I were both laughing over a “doo-doo” joke….). Aaron Blabey must be a 10-year-old boy, as he speaks their language. Well, the langue of 7 to 10-year-olds as this is aimed at them. The humor is basic […]
