Picture book round up

Today is a Me Day by Ev Starkey

Bear Is Never Alone by Marc Veerkamp

Stillwater and Koo Save the World by Jon J. Muth

May 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Picture book round up part… I’ve lost count. I will add three books that are not my OMG Best Books ever but were an interesting experience to read. Today is a Me Day is a story that is exactly what it sounds like it would be. The world has things it wants to do, and wants the young narrator to do, but she has decided she needs a day off. She is going to be happy and choose what she wants to do. She will […]

Save the World!

Stillwater and Koo Save the World (A Stillwater and Friends Book) by Jon J. Muth

January 4, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Early February 2023 we will have another Jon J. Muth picture book. Now, if you are like me, I loved Muth. After a while, though the stories became similar, but I still love the illustrations, which is why I was excited to see that Stillwater and Koo Save the World (A Stillwater and Friends Book) will be the newest edition the collection. Muth has our two pandas finding ways to “save the world.” Now, they might not be big, splashy events, but they are important, […]

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Zen Happiness by Jon J. Muth

July 3, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My Happy choice for cbr12bingo,The art makes me happy. The sayings are not my personal tastes but will be perfect for the right reader. They are supposed to show that there is happy out there. This makes Zen Happiness a great hostess gift, graduation gift (for all ages) and just a nice book to have in your collection for a pick-me-up from time-to-time. As I said, the art of Jon J. Muth makes me happy. Even his darker colored, shadowy images are happy. Plus, I […]
