Don’t pick your nose, pick a book

Got Your Nose! by Alan Katz

December 27, 2022 by BlackRaven 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

October 21, 2022 by BlackRaven 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 […]

If You Meet a Skelton by Rebecca Evans

The Perfect Sushi by Emily Satoko Seo

October 21, 2022 by BlackRaven 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 […]

The fun of family

Hide and Shh!: A Not -So-Sneaky Sister Story About Inclusion by Christina Dendy

A Song of Frutas and Hide and Shh!: by Margarita Engle

October 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

These books have a loose connecting theme. Not only are they picture books, but they are about things that we might not be exposed to often. I mean A Song of Frutas and Hide and Shh!: A Not -So-Sneaky Sister Story About Inclusion are about the fruit vendors of Cuban, with Spanish words mixed in and two siblings, one who lives with Down Syndrome, finding common ground (and the not exposed to is having a special needs sibling). I grew up with first cousins, a […]

Grandparents are pretty cool

Granny and Bean by Karen Hesse

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When a grand mother and grandchild take a day to themselves, even the windy sea cannot stop them from enjoying themselves. Through the gray, cloudy skies, the wonders of the beach and ocean and the creatures around them come to life in Granny and Bean by Karen Hesse. The message is “stop and smell the roses” or in this case, pet the dogs that walk by, listen to the birds, and stop for teatime. And all this comes to life with the fun illustrations of […]
