When the Snow Whispers to you

A Whisper in the Snow, by Kate Westerlund

by Leave a Comment

A Whisper in the Snow, due to some slightly choppy language, caused me to have to stop and start a few times. The text is rich, but I think it might have been translated. Therefore, making the (I am assuming German) original text to English not an easy transition for some people’s ears. This makes it only a rating of 4.5. This is because of two main points. The first is that Ferdun Oral’s illustrations are amazingly fabulous pieces of art. They are items that I would love to see framed somehow and placed in a nursery or a toddler’s […]

Do you celebrate with your family? Well so does this family!

All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah by Emily Jenkins

by Leave a Comment

  If you are a fan of the All-Of-A-Kind Family series, this might be a book to add to your collection. It is a picture book with slightly more text than usual, but in the vein of the original tales as Emily Jenkins has tried to keep to the spirit of a beloved series. And Paul O. Zelinsky also has tried to keep the feel of the original illustrations while putting his own spin on them. In an afterwards he mentions his influences and reasoning behind what he has done. There are lots of great extras about Hanukkah and the […]

“Relax, silly chickens! It’s HALLOWEEN!”

Eek! Halloween by Sandra Boynton

by Leave a Comment

Halloween is the BEST holiday ever. Even better than my birthday and Christmas. And Eek! Halloween is a Sandra Boynton book, so ’nuff said. She is better than Halloween. Okay maybe I would not go that far, but I would go as far to say it might be hard to find a better combination for a Halloween book. Boynton’s funky chickens are at it again. They do not know what to do about the creepy events that are going on: “Witches, wizards, robots, and an alarmingly enormous mouse (eek!) are prowling around town tonight…” and they do so ever want […]

No tricks just treats here!

Bone Soup A Spooky Tasty Tale and Samurai Scarecrow by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and Rubin Pingk

by Leave a Comment

Halloween is my favorite time of year. Not only do you get to have CANDY CANDY CANDY given to you for no reason (or as an adult you can finally buy the good stuff) but you also get to dress up and have fun that is not allowed the rest of the year! And a tradition I try and do is find a couple new books to add to the Halloween collection of treats   Bone Soup A Spooky Tasty Tale is the stone soup story with a Halloween twist. Three witches, some scary neighbors and one simple bone make […]

Can you help Bear find the treat of all treats?

Bear’s Spooky Book of Hidden Things: A Search-and-Find Adventure by Gergely Dudas

by Leave a Comment

Bear’s Spooky Book of Hidden Things: A Search-and-Find Adventure is truly an adventure. Gergely Dudas has made each page very busy with hidden treats our friend Bear is looking for. Of course, none are his beloved honeycomb. The illustrations are detailed and very bright. They are fun to search on. However, this is not meant for a very young child. The pages can be too detailed sometimes. (I am still looking for the wand). And some of the items Bear must find might not be known to a child. Honestly, I am not sure how many people might now what […]

“Five silly ghosts floating by a gate. The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late.” 

Five Silly Ghosts by Hilli Kushnir

by Leave a Comment

“Five silly ghosts floating by a gate. The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late.”   But it is not too late for you to pick up Five Silly Ghosts for your special witch, ghost, pirate, alien, princess, or goblin! Five Silly Ghosts is a little board book with the same “five little ghost” story (counting, rhyming and having fun) that we have seen before. There is nothing new for the person who knows this rhyme. However, it is still great for the toddler set. This story is a classic tale and truly is timeless. And with Hilli Kushnir’s […]

The Spooky Express series is coming to town

The Spooky Express: Vermont by Eric James

by Leave a Comment

The Spooky Express: Vermont by Eric James and Marcin Piwowarski is an introduction to the state (in this one Vermont) and the monsters of Halloween. The kids hop on the train like The Polar Express and off they go. It is meant for the younger crowd, due to the innocence of the text of James and illustrations of Piwowarski. Each book in the series is in the rhyming text and format of The Night Before Christmas rhyme.   The overall look and idea of the book is simple as everything is pasted in to fit that state’s needs. And therefore, […]

It is Christmastime!

The Broken Ornament by Tony Diterlizzi

by Leave a Comment

If The Polar Express, The Nutcracker and every Christmas story where the child wishes for ‘the best Christmas ever” made a book-baby, The Broken Ornament would be it. Jack wants this to be the best Christmas ever. Bigger is better! More is better! A bigger tree! More lights! More cookies! More presents! And more ornaments! But when Jack finds one last, old dusty ornament (that his mother tells him not to put on the tree) is broken, Jack is not sure why his mother is upset. It is just a “junky old ornament” and they can always get more. Because […]
