With the One Fox Band

Paul and His Ukulele by Robert Broder

February 8, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The story to Paul and His Ukulele was, eh. I was thinking, “Okay, but now what?” Robert Broder made a quaint story of a fox named Paul, and the journey his takes to grow up. He meets many people along the way, enjoys dense woods, deserts, and more. Even when he sets up a shop and meets Clementine I was, okay, nice, but not my kind of ukulele tune. When I realized the author is the same as Crow and Snow, I realized that they […]

And your little fox, too

Ooko by Esme Shapiro

August 20, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I can see where some people would absolutely love Ooko by Esme Shapiro. It is terribly quirky and has an offbeat sense of humor that is both charming and goofy. I can also see where some people would absolutely hate Ooko by Esme Shapiro. It is terribly quirky and has an offbeat sense of humor that is both annoying and sophomoric. At first, I thought the character Ooko, based off the cover, was fennec fox. Or a squirrel. Possibly a raccoon. Or one of those […]

This is a beautiful book with a sensitive subject

Fox: A Circle of Life Story by Isabel Thomas

August 18, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was thinking Fox: A Circle of Life Story was going to be more about the cycle of trees, plants, the seasons, the forest and not about the cycle of life of a mother fox. Isabel Thomas created a poetic, beautiful story of life and death. We follow a fox as she wanders the woods, crossing the human road, and her unfortunate end. The concept of death is lightly presented, but also nothing is held back. It is a serious look at the cycle of […]

Don’t Judge Books by their Covers and Don’t Miss these!

Snow Birds by Kirsten Hall

The Snow Fox by Rosemary Shojaie

January 6, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Nothing like having a few minutes to read a picture book. The thing is, with these two books I need a lot more than a few minutes! I need to sit down and take oh, 3 to 5 minutes per page. Each book has details in their illustrations that make them frame worthy. Snow Birds at first made me think, “Okay, one to three words per page. And if a complete sentence is not there, I would not be surprised.” Well, that old adage, Do […]

We are no more than shadows flickering briefly on the moors. But the flickering is beautiful.

A Black Fox Running by Brian Carter

March 9, 2020 by TheShitWizard 3 Comments

A Black Fox Running is not the type of book I would normally pick up for myself, so I’m glad that this was bought for me as it’s a really beautiful book in so many ways. Kind of a more grown up Watership Down but for foxes, Wulfgar is the titular black wolf whose trials and tribulations we follow. Set on Dartmoor and bringing in the voices of the other animals as well as the humans who inhabit the moor, it’s a great example of […]

One fox, one box, one adventure

Fox and the Box by Yvonne Ivinson

June 14, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What does a fox do with a box? You would not think a lot, but our fox hero has found a way to go on one amazingly grand adventure! Author/illustrator Yvonne Ivinson created Fox and the Box to help kids spot words and start to sight read. And it is not hard to spot those words as there are only 45 words in the story itself. What this allows is for the early reader to start at an easy level and start to read solo […]
