When I Was a Fairy by Tom Silson
Like I said, Nobrow Press is really getting my reading flowing. We have When I Was a Fairy. Like the grandfather and his high-seas tall tales in When I Was a Pirate by Tom Silson we now have a grandmother telling a fairy tale about her youth and when she flew and soared as a fairy. Now, I was okay with the story until the very end. It should have ended about three pages sooner or swapped those last three or so pages. However, it is […]
Molly on the Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal
When Molly moves to the Moon, she is going to live in such a small home that she can only bring one toy with her, her special soft toy lamb. But that does not stop our Molly on the Moon from having fun. She has some tin cans for having tea, an old cover for a cape and her imagination. However, one day that special toy goes missing only to be found in the clutches of Molly’s baby brother, Luke, (who since the gravity is […]
Dragonboy #01 by Fabio Napoleoni
Dragonboy and the Wonderful Night #02 by Fabio Napoleoni
Dragonboy #01 by Fabio Napoleoni and Dragonboy and the Wonderful Night (Dragonboy #02) also by Napoleoni found their way to by reading list. My first thought was, this looks a little like No, David! by David Shannon, only cuter. But it turned out to be nothing like that at all. Not only is it cuter, with a more realistic, but still cartoon like, atmosphere to the artwork it is nicer overall. The colors are not bold or hard, and yet, not overly soft, and muted. […]
Before I Grew Up by John Miller
The Snail with the Right Heart: A True Story by Maria Popova
Picture book time! The roundup of two different but equally marvelous books are below. They are for all ages, but best for the older (at least five and up) child, but adults please note that these two books are a must read for you. Maybe you will not learn something (though the second does have a bit of gender commentary) but you should find something to be in awe over. The artwork alone is worth the price of admission! Before I Grew Up has some […]
My Key by Amal
Our Table by Peter Reynolds
It is picture book time again with new ones coming left and right. I was able to find several new ones that are going to be huge hits this holiday season. The first is an award winner, My Key by Amal and the second is classic Peter Reynolds and will be getting fame (and hopefully fortune) as well. My Key by Amal is one of the 2020 Key Colors Awards Winners from Clavis. While the flow of the story was a bit choppy for me, […]
The Odds by Matt Stanton
When the imagination goes wild, it goes really wild for Kip in this 8- to 10-year-old reader graphic novel called The Odds. In this first volume of a new series by Matt Stanton, lives up to its name, The Odds. Kip, our main character, wakes up one morning to see several characters from her dad’s game from his phone, from the television, from her books, a dinosaur her dreams/nightmares, her dad’s comic character, the alien eraser from her pencil, plus a pink elephant that really […]
