I regret nothing with the first book!

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. Thankfully we haven’t gotten to “smell-o-book” yet, though there were sound buttons (that I was […]

One loud and proud baby

Bye Bye Binary by Eric Geron

May 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This book is exactly how you would expect. Bye Bye Binary is loud. It is bright. It is bold. It is in your face. Even the narrator is loud. No, I did not listen to this on audio. But there is a voice. I could hear the baby of the story yelling all the things they are talking about. When the “outside of the frame voice” asks, “Is it a boy or girl?” The answer is a loud, “What is it to you?!?” scream. “It […]

Gilbert the Ghost by Guido Van Genechten

The Bad Seed Presents: The Good, the Bad, and the Spooky (With Two Sticker Sheets) by Jory John

If You Ever Meet a Skelton by Rebecca Evans

Poultrygeist by Eric Geron

October 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One not so little pug named Pig, is a greedy pup. It is Halloween and all he wants to do is to not only get the treats but to get the right treats. And then Pig wants to eat the treats! And if you are stingy with treats, you will smell more than his feet in Pig the Monster (Pig the Pug) by Aaron Blabey. Of course, Pig earns that a dog should not eat a lot of chocolate (after all it can make you, […]
