D is not just for Dog any more.

D Is for Drool: My Monster Alphabet by Amanda Noll

January 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

D Is for Drool: My Monster Alphabet is from the I Need My Monster series.  The lead singers are Amanda Noll and Shari Dash Greenspan with Howard McWilliam on illustrations. We the reader find out that T is for Tentacles, D is for Drool, C is for Claws, and each lyrical letter gets its own monster worded page. Or could share the page but gets its own spot as the parade of monsters walk by to help the young child of the book fall asleep. […]

I can see a better time When all our dreams come true

The Stonekeeper's Curse by Kazu Kibuishi

December 14, 2021 by esme 2 Comments

Amazingly, I only discovered that I could download graphic novels to my library app a few weeks ago, and my son and I have been tearing through some pretty good ones since then. He mentioned that they read the first book in the Amulet series by Kazu Kibuishi, The Stonekeeper, at school, so we sought the second one. Thus, I went into reading this book with an 8 year old’s synopsis of the first book. Briefly, Emily has inherited a stone amulet that confers power, […]

Do you mind giving me notice when the Apocalypse is about to hit? I need to arrange for a babysitter. Thanks!

Swashbucklers by Dan Hanks

November 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Yes, there are a lot of plot point holes and flowing issues and missing information in Dan Hanks novel, Swashbucklers. But (pause) I do not care. This was a funny, easy to read, but need to give a bit of attention to, warped ride. Part fantasy, part adventure, part horror, and a lot of humor cover the pages of this novel. Our hero (question mark) Cisco comes back to his hometown 30-odd years after that Halloween and the “gas leak” which he knows was not […]

Get the scooper, ’cause I got the scoop on a robo-dog and its girl

D-39: A Robodog’s Journey by Irene Latham

October 27, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not really a dog person, but something about the idea of D-39: A Robodog’s Journey was grabbing. Maybe the androgenous look of the character on the cover or the fact it was a robot dog and as far as I could remember I had never read a book with a robot dog. Maybe because it was free. But what kept me reading this novel by Irene Latham was two main things: first it was done in a poetic prose manner. But it was […]

Gilbert & Meow, Cuddling

There’s space for more than one friendly ghost

Gilbert the Ghost by Guido Van Genechten

August 28, 2021 by NTE Leave a Comment

Just in time to grab for your littles for spooky season -> Gilbert is an adorable ghost, who doesn’t really know how to ‘ghost’. And when he tries to learn, he just can’t get it right. And he… kind of doesn’t want to be spooky and scary and learn to shout BOOOO and haunt people & places. So when Gilbert is exiled to the abandoned tower, instead of learning to be scary in isolation, he instead makes a kitty cat friend named Meow, cleans and […]

Much Better, but with a*

My Friend Has Autism by Amanda Doering Tourville

The Children's Guide to Autism by Fiona Reeves

July 3, 2021 by NTE Leave a Comment

In direct contrast to my last post, I’m here to discuss two more books that address Autism and Autistic people in much more relatable & respectful terms, and that can definitely go on my resource guide, even though neither of them is brand spanking new, either. First up, the pretty factual The Children’s Guide to Autism, which was published in 2015. It uses very clear language to discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of Autistic people, and only ventures in to stereotypical portrayals once or twice. […]
