The Lodge That Beaver Built by Randi Sonenshine

Mika and the Gurgler by Agata Loth-Ignaciuk

by Leave a Comment

I like picture books, but it can be hard writing the 250 word review required of them (after all, when your review must have more words than your book it can be tricky, even for this “run at the fingers” reviewer). Therefore, I have a few fun ones for your reading choices. Now, The Lodge That Beaver Built was not necessarily my favorite book to read, but it was interesting and fun. This is for the child who likes animals, and building. The facts are […]

CBR15Passport15, New to me Author Kathy Cremer and friends

A Star for Mama by Ashling Kwok

A Squiggly Line by Robert Vescio

Peanut by Kathy Creamer

Lucky Horse Shoes by Kathy Cremer

CBR15Passport, New to me author I could say these books are connected by the fact they are books (a good reason as far as I’m concerned). Or I could say they are connected because they are picture books (better reason). Or I could say they are connected by Kathy Creamer (which is the best as they are). I didn’t know who Creamer was before these books. And between their author and illustrating, I now know they have a bit of a creativeness to them that […]

Bailey and the Blanket by Emily House

by Leave a Comment

I am fairly certain I have read Bailey and the Blanket before. Perhaps I have not reviewed Emily House’s book here, but even if I have, every time you read a book you find something different (or I do). Or your feelings change as you are in a different mindset or have had new experiences since then. Of course, you could also feel the same way as you did the first time. That is the magic of a book. You never know where it will […]

This is a Poem That Heals Fish by Jean-Pierre Simeon

by Leave a Comment

A perk of my job is to see the books ordered by customers as I process them. I had seen the title This is a Poem That Heals Fish on the list to be ordered and was thinking it was going to be odd.  And when it came in, I gave it a small peek. Yes, it is odd. But Jean-Pierre Simeon’s work is more than just odd. It is a poem within a poem within a poem (I think I captured all the layers). […]

I’ve got taste in buds

Pebble and Wren by Chris Hallbeck

by Leave a Comment

Pebble and Wren by Chris Hallbeck is an adorable story of friendship, finding yourself and your talents. And pancakes. Along the way we are educated on some fun science facts (at least one of I am with the dad: I am the adult and HOW did I not know that????) Granted, as an adult reader these science breaks did cut the flow of things, but most kids will not have a problem with this. Because of this, this graphic novel could work well in a classroom […]

Who taught you to ride?

Wild Blue: Taming a Big-Kid Bike by Dashka Slater

by Leave a Comment

I was taught to ride my two-wheeler by my mom, who could not ride a bike herself. But then again, that was par for the course as I learned to ride my trike by watching my teenaged uncle (all six feet plus of him) riding my trike with his legs over the handlebars, and knees to his ears (I have pictures of this, as well as me wearing his motorcycle helmet on that same trike, considering the future issues, I should have had it later) […]
