Is this your kind of fun?

Not Perfect by Maya Myers

We Light Up the Sky with Music! by Nick Maland

by Leave a Comment

I like books not just because they are fun, but because there is fun for everyone. Now you might not like a book about Best Buddies; or Romance; or World War Two. But that is okay, there are plenty of leaves on the tree for you to find something you do like. And that is what Not perfect and We Light Up the Sky with Music! was for me: one like and one not like.    Maya Myers’s story is one anyone can relate too. Being […]

A Year in the Life

Grandpa and the Kingfisher by Anne Wilson

by Leave a Comment

I have recently read several titles with grandparents recently. One of those books was Grandpa and the Kingfisher. At first, I thought that the book would not be “fun” as okay, follow a bird during its life cycle? Been there done that (and been doing that for about three years now with a robin family that has taken to nesting on the porch. And pooping on my turtle statue). However, I then thought, okay I know this but would it work for a child? Maybe, […]

When they’re apart, they can be connected

Eleanor’s Moon by Maggie Knaus

by Leave a Comment

When I saw the title of Eleanor’s Moon for some reason, I was thinking it would be a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt, another Eleanor biography, or a fiction story about a girl named Eleanor who would do great things. Instead, it is a terribly sweet story about girl who was born on a bright harvest moon night, and her grandfather, and how the moon connects them. The story is simple, we follow these two best friends as they do almost everything together. They are only […]

Don’t pick your nose, pick a book

Got Your Nose! by Alan Katz

by Leave a Comment

Let’s get it out of the way: If I had to pick a nose (book), I would pick this one. I can’t catch my nose, it’s too runny. I hope I don’t blow this review. Alan Katz did similar and a few more jokes inside the pages of Got Your Nose! The “you’re never too old for silly fun” is the center of the tale. When Becky’s grandfather Max makes a surprise visit, they sing and play music and end up on a surprise adventure: […]

Memories and Grandmother Hazel

Witch Hazel by Molly Idle

by Leave a Comment

Witch Hazel by Molly Idle seemed like it was going to be something other than it was by the cover and what I had quickly read about it. I had no idea I would need tissues! You see, this is about a young girl and her grandmother and the beautiful times they have. Or had. As you see how the grandmother, Hazel, slowly starts to change as the seasons change. Without coming right out and saying it, you know that she has passed by the […]

You will buy these booooks!

If You Meet a Skelton by Rebecca Evans

The Perfect Sushi by Emily Satoko Seo

by Leave a Comment

I love a good commercial or ad. I like the cleverness of someone I do not know selling me something. This usually does not work on me for something like dog food (I do not have a dog) but I have begged my parents for a toy or two. But it has with more than a book or ten. And, hopefully I know enough about books to make you hum, “The picture books ae here” (to the tune of Chewy’s “The Peanut butter box is […]
