“Mingle! Guide! Delight!” isn’t a bad philosophy

Leave it to Plum by Matt Phelan

June 6, 2022 by NTE 1 Comment

Leave it to Plumby Matt Phelan is the story of a “peppy purple peacock” & his trials & tribulations at the Athensville Zoo. Plum is a legacy – the however many times great grandson of the original zoo peacocks, given free wandering rights at the zoo, who are responsible for mingling, guiding & delighting the zoo’s visitors. Plum’s a great bird, if a little flighty (in the always late & a little scatterbrained way, not the bird way), who friends everywhere, and takes his duties […]

I want a friend like Plum

Leave It to Plum! by Matt Phelan

May 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Plum can be a bit, shall we say, enthusiastic and naïve, but that also makes them endearing in Leave It to Plum! by Matt Phelan. Plum is a peacock at the local zoo. Plum and their peacock friends and family wander freely throughout greeting guests. Until one day peacock feathers have been found at the scene of several crimes within the zoo. Plum cannot imagine anyone in the zoo trying to frame them, but Plum soon learns that sometimes things are not what they seem, […]

Off on a Pignic

Pignic by Matt Phelan

April 19, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What a day for a picnic! Blue skies and shady trees to climb and a kite to fly up high. Not to mention lots of siblings and parents to play with. And of course, very yummy food. It is the perfect day for climbing those trees and flying that kite (even if they do have to find one unique way to get some wind). And even a little rain does not dampen the Pig Family Picnic! The adults will enjoy the plot twists and the […]

A slightly more realistic fairy tale

Snow White: A Graphic Novel by Matt Phelan

December 10, 2017 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

[Note – this review contains spoilers] I had a few free minutes in the library, so I picked up this graphic novel version of Snow White. This takes us out of the normal fairy tale and sticks us in New York City in 1928. A young Samantha White, called “Snow”, loses her mother at a young age. Her father, a wealthy businessman, is dazzled by a famous actress and marries her 10 years after becoming a widower.  She sends the now teenaged Snow off to […]
