If this is the third volume of poetry, wonder what the rest is like

Life in the Past Lane by Peter Carlaftes

by Leave a Comment

I had an online reader link to Awe and Other Words Like Wow: Poem by Kat Georges. I was somewhat excited because I had no idea what it was going to be like. I had little description and since it was one of my older saved links, I had forgotten why I had saved it in the first place. I only knew it was poetry because it said Poem. I clicked on the Click Here to Read Button and this image of a gray hair (I assumed) […]

It is the Reviews of the Series. Or this is a review about different series.

Anzu and the Realm of Darkness by Mai K. Nguyen

One Cool Duck V02 The Far-out Fort by Mike Petrik

by Leave a Comment

It is the Reviews of the Series. Or this is a review about different series. Each one has its own quirks (good and bad) but all have that little something that fits the right reader. Maybe one is for you! The first book is more for ages 10 to younger 13, but adults might appreciate it as well. However, if you go younger, just know your reader as some illustrations and concepts are not for sensitive readers. And the second book is for about kindergarten […]

How much is that froggie in the swamp

The Dress in the Window by Robert Tregoning

Night Song by Mk Smith Despres

by Leave a Comment

I am all for books about being different and being you. I like stories where the family accepts the people for who they are (even if maybe it’s not exactly 100% realistic).  And when I found The Dress in the Window (via an online reader copy due March 2024) I knew that this was one of those books. Granted I did not think, “OMG BEST BOOK EVER!” But Robert Tregoning created a story that was sweet and accepting of the young boy of the story. […]

The light in these books

My Diwali Light by Raakhee Mirchandani

Raaga’s Song: A Diwali Story by Navina Chhabria

by Leave a Comment

I like when picture books present other cultures or pieces of that culture in them. I think it is because of the introduction aspect. You can get your feet wet without all the nitty grittiness of things. And in a picture book roundup post (again, I’ve been busy with picture books being read online from my old saved links) here are two titles that are good for that introduction aspect and could make you and your child want to learn more.  My Diwali Light by […]

Animal Rescue Friends gang and their furry, feathered, and flying friends

Animal Rescue Friends: Learning New Tricks: Volume 3 by Harriet Low

by Leave a Comment

I have not read Animal Rescue Friends volumes one and two, as I happened to find Animal Rescue Friends: Learning New Tricks: Volume 3 as an online reader and thought it sounded interesting without doing further research. It can be a standalone story, but  I assume you should probably read volume one which will introduce you to the characters and why they are working with animals that need to be adopted. This is a clever book and feels as if Babysitters Club’s Little Sister Karen […]

I don’t always listen to heavy metal, but when I do… …so do the neighbors

Heavy Metal Badger by Duncan Beedie

by Leave a Comment

I saw the cover of Heavy Metal Badger, and was OMG that is SO for a friend of mine. And then realized their kids probably were too old for a picture book. But then I thought, “Who cares? That is SO their kids!” So, now you know my friend has Heavy Metal Badger kids, who like to rock out and be themselves. Just like Duncan Beedie’s main Badger, who is a rocker, loves to rock out, and with trial and error finds their band, their tribe of […]
