How to Find a Bird by Jennifer Ward

January 21, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

How to Find a Bird is a great non-fiction book presented as a traditional picture book story. Jennifer Ward’s text is about an all-knowing narrator taking you (and the characters of the book) on a journey throughout almost all the known birds. Some will be familiar due to your own area, while others might not be. There are even a few pages dedicated to birds that have gone extinct. Each page has facts or pieces of information on birds, how to see and hear birds […]

Don’t Judge Books by their Covers and Don’t Miss these!

Snow Birds by Kirsten Hall

The Snow Fox by Rosemary Shojaie

January 6, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Nothing like having a few minutes to read a picture book. The thing is, with these two books I need a lot more than a few minutes! I need to sit down and take oh, 3 to 5 minutes per page. Each book has details in their illustrations that make them frame worthy. Snow Birds at first made me think, “Okay, one to three words per page. And if a complete sentence is not there, I would not be surprised.” Well, that old adage, Do […]

OMG I’m a Crow!

Arlo & Pips: Kings of the Birds by Elise Gravel

September 2, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you want to have fun while learning about crows? Then, I cannot recommend Arlo & Pips: Kings of the Birds by Elise Gravel enough. Done in story format, we have two birds (Arlo the crow and one little yellow bird who goes by Pips) who meet one day. After a lot of bragging by Arlo, Pips learns this is one of the traits of crows. Pips and the reader learn other fun facts about crows such as the loving of shiny objects (hey! I’m […]

I’d rather spend time with David Tennant’s Crowley

The Night Jar by Deborah Hewitt

June 27, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I had a hard time getting through The Nightjar. I liked the premise, although it sounded a little like the His Dark Materials trilogy, I liked the setting, although it’s kind of like Neverwhere, and I liked some of the characters, although I never took a liking to either of the two leads. I really wanted to like this, and there were a lot of times where I almost did. The premise is that there is an alternate world attached to our own where people […]

Jumping into the reviews with no warm up or aftercare.

All the Birds in the World by David Opie

Little Tree by Loren Lon

Maiden & Princess by Daniel Haack

June 22, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Customer: I would like this book please. Me: Of course, it will be…. up to 4 weeks to get. Why? Because not all books are “books” in the book world and come from our “sidelines” vendors. (You just got a peak into the underbelly of the Bookstore World). But it was mostly worth the wait. All the Birds in the World is David Opie’s book of flight, fancy and birds. Putting fact and fiction together, our narrator gives us the bird(s). They talk about all […]
