Tiny Bean is Keen

Tiny Bean's Big Adventures V01 by Stephanie Graegin

by Leave a Comment

Ten tiny stories about a tiny character called Bean are collected in Tiny Bean’s Big Adventures V01. It is currently available but read via an online reader copy. The author Stephanie Graegin made a sweet collection of life events for the younger to almost 10 aged reader. The older toddler will love being read to, while the aged 7 or 8 will enjoy their first “big kid” reading chance. Overall, things are just cute. Cute characters, cute stories, cute illustrations. There is some humor that […]

Stitch Head was the first creation. But not the last.

Stitch Head: The Graphic Novel by Guy Bass and Pete Williamson

by Leave a Comment

Cbr17bingo Favorite (in a favorite genre) Stitch Head: The Graphic Novel by Guy Bass and Pete Williamson is a cute retelling of the Frankenstein monster story with modern twists. Plus it includes the ideas of friendship and how they change and grow. While I am not in the BEST EVER category for this title, there was a coziness to it that I enjoyed, plus the humor was quirky and not too young or “stereotypical” (though there is some of that, too). Sometimes things are a […]

This cabinet is more than a family antique heirloom

The Cabinet by Jordan Hart, David Ebeltof, and Chiara Raimondi

by Leave a Comment

Cbr17bingo FAMILY The Cabinet is one of those graphic novels/books where you will love it or hate it. The humor is offbeat, the characters are not always likable, but the adventures are strong. If Dr. Who meets Voyagers, with a hint of Stranger Things (or so I assume as I have not watched it), a little Buffy the Vampire Slayer, meets the wackiest D&D game (or Vox Machina) you have read that is set in the 1990s diverse cast series. Creators, Jordan Hart, David Ebeltof, […]

Brother where art thou?

Bringing Back Kay-Kay by Dev Kothari

Cbr17bingo Borrowed (I borrowed from the library) Recently the title Bringing Back Kay-Kay by Dev Kothari came to my attention. It was published a while back, and since my local library did not have it, I had to request an interlibrary loan. I do not think I would have liked trying to read this as an online reader. There several twists and the pacing that would make it uncomfortable for me personal reading style. When I received the copy, I looked at it and thought […]

The Wild Robot on the Island by Peter Brown

by 2 Comments

Cbr17bingo Red (the red that highlights the top of the cover) The Wild Robot on the Island by Peter Brown is currently available, yet I read via an online reader. This picture book is based off of the novel also by Brown. It takes the highlights of the first book (or I am assuming as I have not had the chance to read the series yet) and adapts them for the five and up crowd. Overall the book is fun and cute. It has moments […]

When your abandoned lighthouse is not so abandoned after all

The Ghost of Wreckers Cove by Angelica Del Campo, Christian Argiz and Liniers

by Leave a Comment

Cbr17bingo G (G is for Ghost) When I find a book from Papercutz I usually have an extreme I really like this or I really don’t. Now, granted The Ghost of Wreckers Cove by Angelica Del Campo, Christian Argiz and Liniers (illustrator) had a few bumps as I am an adult reader who has to remember sometimes you need to suspend your “reality need” for the sake of a good story.  I was debating if I wanted to read this graphic novel as it looked […]
