Farty Pants: A Stinky Book of Monsters by Eric Geron

Huck and Loona by Emily Kilgore

June 13, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Books should be fun, but they can also be educational. Of course, if they are both you have the best of all worlds and memorable stories.  Farty Pants: A Stinky Book of Monsters by the team of Eric Geron and Dean Gray (illustrations) who are a gas (I mean to read with, not you know are gassy…then again…)  It is currently available but I read via an online reader copy.

Based on the Icelandic tradition, we have a diverse family, their friends, and community waiting and getting ready for […]

What is it about?” Then I saw, The Iheards. Then I said, “What are the Iheards?” And I assumed they were probably rumors and I was right. It is about the rumors and […]
