Gone to the dogs

Antoinette by Kelly DiPucchio

December 2, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Antoinette is probably more a 2.5 than a three. There is something missing for me. Plus, the illustrations and I just are not meshing as I would have liked. Kelly DiPucchio is the author of the companion book Gaston as well as this one. If you do not know who Gaston is, that is fine. His story is told as needed to fit Antoinette’s story. However, you do not necessarily need to know who he was. But, of course, it does not hurt to have read that one as well. The theme of, “everyone has a talent” has been done […]

Let’s Clean Up!

Super Manny Cleans Up! by Kelly DiPucchio

September 9, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Manny is back in Super Manny Cleans Up! Kelly DiPucchio and Stephanie Graegin have created a story that is all about environmentalism. Manny and Gertie are seeing that there is a lot of trash in their local park and decide to do something very bold and important: to clean it up. With help from their friends (some real and some not so real) they clean up! The story is sweet. You think it is going to be another story about friendship and using their imagination. And while they do, it is also about bravery. But in a different way than […]

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Super Manny!

Super Manny Stands Up! by Kelly DiPucchio

August 16, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Manny is what a real super hero should be. He has his capes for each adventure: purple, red, green and so forth. But he has a very special cape for school: his invisible one. Which I think is a nice touch. Usually you see the child wearing a cape to school and everyone accepts it as “okay” and a “normal” thing to do. And rarely, if at all, they are teased for it. I am sorry, they will be teased. Not everyone will accept it and yes, it is very distracting. The moral of Super Manny Stands Up! is to stand up […]
