1 plus 1 equals two chicken books

Arithmechicks Add Up: A Math Story by Ann Marie Stephens

Arithmechicks Take Away: A Math Story by Ann Marie Stephens

March 22, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If you want a book about math, you need to find Arithmechicks Add Up: A Math Story and Arithmechicks Take Away: A Math Story. Now, these are not just your “one plus one” or “two minus one” stories. A lot is going on allowing them to be fairly busy. Therefore, while the format and the images are for the younger group, the older (up to first grade, maybe low second) can read as well.  There is much to the text and some concepts (which are […]

These little mermaids don’t use snarfblats

Thirsty Mermaids by Kat Leyh

February 8, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Some of my usual dislikes in a story are in Thirsty Mermaids: the drinking to excess, the odd characters that are less than intelligent about common sense, not getting punished for events like stealing, and every character is conveniently “other.”  However, in Kat Leyh’s graphic novel, they are pluses. I can forgive the stealing as the guy they stole from seemed like a jerk. I can accept the drinking because it is necessary to push these characters forward. Would I like to have seen less […]

More smiling eyes

Eyes That Speak to the Stars by Joanna Ho

January 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While gorgeously illustrated, Eyes That Speak to the Stars is a repeat of the companion book Eyes That Kiss in the Corners also by Joanna Ho and Dung Ho. However, that is not to say it is not as delightful as the first book, but I was looking for something slightly different. The story starts off with an innocent drawing by a school friend, has our narrator questioning how people see him, and how he sees himself. The picture looks nothing like him. But through […]

Fly by Brittany J. Thurman

January 24, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Africa’s brother tells her that she cannot do something she has never done before.

She is going to dance, jump and Fly. Brittany J. Thurman’s picture book is about a plucky little girl and the big determination she has. Africa cannot Double Dutch, but she will teach herself how. It cannot […]

That Egg Is Mine! A Silly Story about Sharing (Duck and Cluck) by Liz Goulet DuBois

January 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Duck and Cluck (a duck and a chicken) have an egg. The funny thing is it looks like Cluck with the same blue and white spots. But it looks like Duck’s bill as well (same blue and white color scheme). And both claim it to be theirs. Long story short, since Duck found it after it was lost by Cluck, it is his. But Cluck still claims they found it first. After a crazy story with crazier antics, Duck shows why it is his, but […]

Need to feel good? Grab a book or four

Chirp!: Chipmunk Sings for a Friend by Jamie A. Swenson

Sunny-Side Up by Jacky Davis

We Are Better Together by Bill McKibben

Let’s Do Everything and Nothing by Julia Kuo

December 6, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you need some feel good stories? These books are positive, hopeful, and have a modern take on subjects. Each one ranges in the best age for it, but most ages five and up will be fine. Chirp!: Chipmunk Sings for a Friend by Jamie A. Swenson  This book is a simple story: a little chipmunk is alone and keeps singing for a friend. Scott Magoon illustrates the clever gem of finding the perfect note of friendship. The colors are simple, light without being muted. […]
