I read a lot of picture books so I have a lot of reviews. This is one of them.

All About Cats Fantastically Funny Rhymes by Frantz Wittkamp

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If you like offbeat rhyming books, All About Cats Fantastically Funny Rhymes might be for you. The crew of Frantz Wittkamp, Axel Scheffler and David Henry Wilson made this due in mid-March 2024 picture book.  I am not sure how the final result will be as I found it as an online reader copy, but it is supposed to be paper and not a traditional first published as hardcover edition. I am not sure how much I liked all the approximately fifteen poems about cats […]

My daughter requests that I sing these books to her now. I can never remember the melody I invented the last time – but they always work in song form.

Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson

The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson

The Smeds and the Smoos by Julia Donaldson

Like most parents (I hope), my wife and I read to our kids every night before bed. My son (who excels at reading) reads to us every night as well (and is currently making his way through Jeff Smith’s Bone – a personal favorite of mine). Julia Donaldson has long held a special place on their bookshelves. I haven’t reviewed any children’s books before, but I read The Gruffalo to my daughter tonight (for probably the hundredth time) and decided to review some by my […]

My Two Dads and Me by Michael Joosten

The Smeds and the Smoos by Julia Donaldson

Every Little Letter by Deborah Underwood

December 16, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Today’s books range from ABC and 123 learning to letting you know that you can do anything if you try to a girl growing antlers and a boy waking up flat. And when you find a handful of books that deal with being different and different is okay, the only thing you can do is write reviews about them so others will read them too. I found a board book the other day called My Two Dads and Me. It is written by Michael Joosten. […]

Books Help Keep Kids’ Hearts Open in Fearful Times

October 29, 2018 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I teach an ethics class for little kids on Sunday mornings. It’s a small group and the kids don’t come every Sunday, because lives are complicated. The group ranges in age from 3 to 9, so it can be a challenge to find things that hold their interest.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and these (not so) Ugly Five!

August 15, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Ugly Five is a FIVE rating all around. I had known about the group of animals called The Ugly Five but had forgotten about them until reading Julia Donaldson’s book. At the end, she gives more information on the different animals as well as the others in the “Five Series” of animals: The Big 5, The Little Five, The Ugly 5, The Shy 5 and The Impossible 5. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to the five animals that […]
