Once I wore magic snow suits to play in the snow. Now I just read about the stuff.

Snow Friends by Margery Cuyler

Ten Ways to Hear Snow by Cathy Camper

December 11, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It is winter and as I type this, there are flakes of snow speeding about outside the window. And how can you not remember the times you were a kid and went out in the snow to play on a day like this? (Okay, maybe not in Hawaii or someplace equally warm….) But I remember the boots, hats, mittens (with mittens attached to a string that went around your back to the other mitten, so you didn’t lose it…) and snowsuits (that were magic: once […]

Spring Again

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring by Kenard Pak

February 7, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I do not mind winter. I do not like the extreme, bitter cold, but overall, I like winter. After all was born in a snowstorm (I think) for a reason. But I love Autumn, it is my favorite time of the year, it is colorful and the right warmth. I am not a fan of Summer with its way too hotness and bugs. And Spring is a short season in New England prone to going into Mud Season sooner (and longer) than even pigs like. […]

If Wishes were books I’d have more than I do even now!

August 14, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This is going to be my Delicious! Book. As the rules said that food had to mentioned. Just not what kind of food. And yes, food is mentioned. Granted it is food for a cat, but food nonetheless. Cat Wishes looks like it might be a whimsical poem, but it is a small story about a hungry cat who in the format of Aesop’s Lion and the Mouse, spares his snake dinner. And in the theme of many fairy and folktales the snake promises wishes […]

Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter

April 2, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have mentioned that a perk to working in a bookstore is seeing things before they come out. The other perk is finding a book you might not have found if you were not surrounded by all types of books. Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter is one of those finds. I found this book while cleaning out older reader copies. I enjoy pictures books as an adult as they are fun, quick reads. And as someone who likes giving books, a picture book can be a […]
