Pitch perfect

Love Is in the Bear by Judith Henderson

May 24, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Spring was a few weeks ago, or it will be in next year. But regardless of how you count the seasons, there is a special moment in the day, early when you can smell spring in the air, even in your sleep, like Bear does. And if Bear had slept one second longer, he would have missed the event that is the center of Love Is in the Bear. Okay, so that is a bit poetic, but so is this picture book (due mid-October 2023, […]

Well, at least the bear was cute

Hello, Tiny Bear by Yusuke Yonezu

Going Home by Seymour Chwast

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My round up of books that should be talked about, but are not for me, is below. Both were read via online reader copies, and both are future publications. The first is Hello, Tiny Bear. At first, I was okay, Yusuke Yonezu made a cute bear cub as their main character. I then saw that it was a board book (or would be, remember online reader copy, due late August/early September 2023). And I was, “Okay I am not a toddler; therefore, this simple text […]

How a storm made friendship

The Shelter: Deluxe 5th Anniversary Edition by Celine Claire

May 5, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I read via an online reader copy the fifth anniversary edition of The Shelter that is due in mid-October 2023.  I am not sure what might be new about this Celine Claire story, but I do know that somehow, I missed it when it first came out. Granted, I am not thinking this is the best book ever, but it is a solid book with equally strong illustrations by Qin Leng. The idea is an old story with a theme of giving to others, sharing […]

Where Can We Go?: A Tale of Four Bears by Dai Yun

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

  CBR15Passport country  Some days you are the book and some days you are the fly that gets swatted by the book. Or in other words, this book was flat for me. Where Can We Go?: A Tale of Four Bears had such potential. I was hoping for a folktale, or something humorous, by Dai Yun (adapted by Helen Mixter). But instead, it is just about these bears who move into the human world (who seems to find them rude and more annoying than anything […]

1967 was not groovy all over

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

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven 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 […]

“What seemed clear was this: in a town that refused to allow the government to protect it from bears, vigilantism seemed the only option. Just as the libertarians wanted, it was every man, woman, and bear for themselves.”

A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears) by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling

January 15, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

Mind-boggling that this is a real place, with real people (and real bears). How does one begin to describe a book like this? I don’t know. If it wasn’t so early in the year, I might be tempted to review amnesty out of it and just point you in the direction of the many great reviews that have already been written about it, including one by our very own andtheIToldYouSos. Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling is a long form journalist who spent a lot of time in the […]
