July 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr14bingo Font Level Two Cynthia Rylant is known for their cute, young stories. If you like having a Happily Ever After ending you will usually get it. And Rosetown Summer is no exception. This adorable novella is a book two (Rosetown was book one in the Rosetown Books) that can be read as a standalone.

We all have our fears

Me and My Fear by Francesca Sanna

April 5, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A young girl has a small Fear with her all the time. It helps keep her safe. However, when she moves away, the Fear grows to an extent where it takes over. It will not let her even leave the house at times. And it makes her new school very difficult. She cannot imagine anyone understanding her, or her feelings.  However, the reader can see that there is a “little something” (in the form of a young boy) that seems to want to get to […]

It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus and everything (spoiler) will be okay!

It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus! by Jody Jensen Shaffer

August 15, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus! is a very basic “first day of school jitters” story, but this time it is told from the buses point of view. Claire Messner has created the illustrations showing the reader (slowly as you go along) the apprehension growing on the face of the bus. This is a cute touch and makes it realistic.   Jody Jensen Shaffer It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus! is a very basic “first day of school jitters” story, but this […]
