From A to Zany titles

My Two Dads and Me by Michael Joosten

The Smeds and the Smoos by Julia Donaldson

Every Little Letter by Deborah Underwood

December 16, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Today’s books range from ABC and 123 learning to letting you know that you can do anything if you try to a girl growing antlers and a boy waking up flat. And when you find a handful of books that deal with being different and different is okay, the only thing you can do is write reviews about them so others will read them too. I found a board book the other day called My Two Dads and Me. It is written by Michael Joosten. […]

A nice story and a message all in one

Freddie and the Fairy by Julia Donaldson

February 19, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two things I do when I am at work: doodle on the purchase order I am calling in when left on hold too long and look at customer special orders when I am processing them. I was looking at a special order the other day when I saw a small picture book called Freddie and the Fairy.  I did not recognize the name Karen George but seem to know their illustrations. I did know that Julia Donaldson has several books that can be all over […]

Turning the pages of a book

Bear Needs Help  by Sarah S. Brannen

This Little Piggy by James Serafino

Busy Babies by Amy Schwartz

What the Ladybug Heard at the Zoo by Julia Donaldson

July 8, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Once Upon A Time there was a girl who read picture books. A lot of picture books. And because they were different styles she knew that not all books would be a home-run for her. Sadly, these four books fell into that category. Yet, there was something about each one she knew someone would enjoy. Therefore, that made her want to share them with you, her adoring reading public. These four books are from a late night reading marathon that came from wanting to read […]

The Alpha of Alphabet books

Animalphabet by Julia Donaldson

December 10, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Animalphabet by Julia Donaldson is a very clever way of making an alphabet book. You start with a small “story” about an ant. And then find out what is bigger than an ant on the B page and so on throughout the book. There is none of that “A is for Ant or A = Ant. The End” to the style. The pages format could make it difficult for the very young to read it. You have hidden flaps that are not always obvious to […]

Books Help Keep Kids’ Hearts Open in Fearful Times

Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

October 29, 2018 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I teach an ethics class for little kids on Sunday mornings. It’s a small group and the kids don’t come every Sunday, because lives are complicated. The group ranges in age from 3 to 9, so it can be a challenge to find things that hold their interest.
