Lunch one day was a slightly cold Caesar chicken wrap. Why? I mean I purchased it warm. Well, I thought I had lost my credit card. And after three really bad days, that would have been the brown icing (if ya know what I mean) on the cake. Therefore, I tore my purse apart. That took longer than expected as I have used said bag to be a catchall for things recently (several pens, a coffin shaped sticky note pad, tiny 3D Mickey Moused eared […]

I like to read and I enjoy writing reviews. But sometimes a book is not able to produce a long review. There isn’t a lot to say, or if you do, there are more words in your review than the actual book.

It is official: I think I have finally read too many picture books! All of them seem to blend together with story lines and themes which makes them seem weak and watered down. At least to me. Does that mean I am going to stop reading picture books? Heck no! Just because both The Panda Problem by Deborah Underwood (illustrations by Hannah Marks) and Lana Lynn Howls at the Moon by Rebecca Van Slyke (illustrated by Anca Sandu) were not my cup of tea, does […]

A story for book and bear lovers!

by Leave a Comment

Bearnard’s Book is a bit obvious to the adult reader what Bearnard’s book is going to be about, but Deborah Underwood draws the reader into the story showing the things it might be about. When Bearnard researches books about bears he learns they float, have porridge stolen and are messy. But Bearnard is not able to float (he is a bit afraid to actually) and he does love his porridge, so he just could not deal with it stolen, and well Bearnard is very much […]
