Tomorrow Most Likely by Dave Eggers

January 9, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A coworker asked me if Tomorrow Most Likely was as cute as it is supposed to me. I said, “Weeeellll… My logic is taking over.” How do you explain that maybe you will not have met Cousin Todd today? Or the sky is not blue today? After all the text of Dave Eggers makes it seem like it will happen. But then I thought, that this is a good discussion book.

May 30, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Julie Fogliano (of When Green Becomes Tomatoes: Poems for All Seasons fame) and Lane Smith (illustrator of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs and I’m Just No Good at Rhyming: And Other Nonsense for Mischievous Kids and Immature Grown-Ups) have combined their talents for A House That Once Was.
