I like knowing that if I recommend a book to a child there will be other books by the author. Or in this case, more in a series. Party Time Book One in the Puppy Princess series combines two things that will tickle the fancy of some readers: puppies and princesses. Party Time is the story of a young puppy princess who just does not want to be proper, behave and take baths. And especially does not want to wear pink ribbons in her fur. […]
I am Sorry to Inform You…… I Just Ate My Friend
Maybe I missed the point. Is it a book about karma? I am not sure. With that said, it really is not something I will be recommending. There is nothing redeeming about this book. I would not put my reputation on the line for this book. If you like it, please tell me why. With most books I do not like, I really do feel bad about it. I understand the hard work that authors and illustrators put into their work. I am a writer […]
Courage!
Brave Enough for Two (a Hoot and Olive book) has allusions to Winnie the Pooh. It is a soft, classically toned story written and illustrated by Jonathan D. Voss. This time, instead of Christopher Robin and Pooh, we have Olive and Hoot. Olive is the type of girl who likes adventures in books and Hoot is the type of stuffed owl who likes the “go out and have” adventures. And just like Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin, they go out into the world and have […]
Click, Clack Moo I love you Snowball Moon
Click, Clack, Moo I Love You Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin and your collaborations! Yes, this was a Valentine’s Day book, but if you are like me, you try and have fun with things during “not holiday times.” Like me listening to Christmas Carols in July. Or if January 2nd has gone by and I have not found my Halloween costume I am very late. And with Click, Clack, Moo, I Love You, you can celebrate love throughout the year. Plus, this is just a […]
A showgirl’s life
This is a book that may not be for everyone – there are issues of child sexual abuse, self mutilation, drug addiction and some domestic abuse. In saying that, it’s also a well written, powerful story of a young woman who has to battle her demons and come out of it into a better place. It’s also a story that has strong female friendship among the glitz and glamour of old Las Vegas in the 1960s, which Ms Church portrays very well. It begins with […]
I somehow never read this as a kid!
With all the excitement surrounding the new movie coming out, I wanted to read A Wrinkle in Time again. I say again, because I was nearly convinced I read it as a child. Somehow, I did not! I’m not sure how that happened, because this is right up my alley. I listened to the audiobook in the car, and it went so quickly! I loved it by the way. I already put holds on the rest of the books in the Time Quintet, so look […]
