Farm Boots by Lisl H. Detlefsen

December 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If you have a shoe feetish, I mean fetish, then this is the boots for …. I mean book for you. Okay, Farm Boots by Lisl H. Detlefsen is not an adult book, but it does have some really cute boots for the characters to wear in this rhyming book.  Each person has a specific boot for a specific job and for lots of play. Here we see boots for mud, boots for puddles, boots for riding and boots for mucking out the stalls (make […]

This way to a friendship

This Way, Charlie by Caron Levis

May 20, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This way to a sweet story about friendship and how even the least likely pair of friends can help each other when in need. This Way, Charlie is a story of a horse and a goat who both live at a rescue farm. Some animals are able to be released or find new homes, but others stay there. And Jack, a cranky ol’ goat who likes keeping to himself, is one of the forever ones. And when Charlie comes, a horse who seems nice enough […]

Should have stayed on the farm

Babe the Gallant Pig by Dick King-Smith

April 13, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Babe, the movie, may or may not have been in my movie viewing. However, I am going to assume that it is only like Babe the Gallant Pig, the book, in the fact there is a pig, farmer and sheep. I can only imagine there is more emotion to the movie. The book has “Babe did this” and “The sheep said this” action. Everything is clinical. Even the action is actionless. (Spoiler) The big scene where Babe saves the sheep from the other dogs, I […]

With a cheep cheep here and cheep cheep there

Five Fuzzy Chicks by Diana Murray

March 10, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Finding the right book at the right time is rarely easy, but it is fun. I was cleaning up some reader copies that got out of place and picked up Five Fuzzy Chicks.  Now, it had been a long month all week, I needed something to counter that and what I found was Diana Murray and Sydney Hanson’s picture book. This is a cute rhyming story that is perfect for a bedtime (or anytime). It follows five little chicks who are not ready for bed. […]

Wearing a haircut?

Haircuts for Little Lambs by Tomie dePaola

February 28, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not sure how I missed the book Haircuts for Woolsey’s by Tomie dePaola as I do enjoy his work. Now published under the name, Haircuts for Little Lambs I see why this might not have been one of his more popular stories. Totally done in dePaola’s style of illustrations and text, this is a fun story about Spring and how fickle it can be. Plus, there is one clever one grandmother who knows how to take care of a pesky problem.   However, I […]

Cockle your own Doo

Crow of His Own by Megan Dowd Lambert

February 4, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The main reason I enjoyed A Crow of His Own is that there is the theme of being yourself but not with a unicorn. This time Megan Dowd Lambert’s rooster, Clyde, has to fill the shoes of the great Larry. But there is no way he could as he just keeps embarrassing himself, and the other farm animals will not give him a chance to find out who he is. That is, expect for one goose, who knows what to say and do. Overall the […]
