Yes that Bob Ross

Bob Ross: My First Book of Nature (My First Bob Ross Books) by Robb Pearlman

Bob Ross: My First Book of Colors (My First Bob Ross Books) by Robb Pearlman

by Leave a Comment

Bob Ross: My First Book of Nature (My First Bob Ross Books) and Bob Ross: My First Book of Colors (My First Bob Ross Books) are both by Robb Pearlman (text) and the artwork of Bob Ross. Yes, that Bob Ross. Happy little clouds and happy little trees Bob Ross. Both board books I might have read before but could not remember. Therefore, if I had, it was reading them again for the first time (which is a fun experience). And if I haven’t, it was actually […]

Picture book round up

Today is a Me Day by Ev Starkey

Bear Is Never Alone by Marc Veerkamp

Stillwater and Koo Save the World by Jon J. Muth

by Leave a Comment

Picture book round up part… I’ve lost count. I will add three books that are not my OMG Best Books ever but were an interesting experience to read. Today is a Me Day is a story that is exactly what it sounds like it would be. The world has things it wants to do, and wants the young narrator to do, but she has decided she needs a day off. She is going to be happy and choose what she wants to do. She will […]

Who would win Dinosaurs or Ants?

Who Would Win: Triceratops vs. Spinosaurus by Jerry Pallotta

Who Would Win? Green Ants Vs. Army Ants by Jerry Pallotta

by Leave a Comment

I have reviewed the Who Would Win? books before. Overall, they are a fun series that gives information about different animals, and if matched up (sometimes naturally happening and sometimes due to imagination) who would win in a Battle Royale. Sometimes one of the books (done in an early reader sized book but range from around ages seven to ten, depending on the reader/listener) might seem “off” by saying a skunk would defeat a coyote (or something like that) but hey, there are skunks and […]

Teeming tadpoles

Tadpoles by Matt James

by Leave a Comment

I wanted to like the book Tadpoles more than I did. Now, nothing was wrong with Matt James’ book, but it was not grabbing me. That might mean this story about a father and son and the day they spend together when exploring newly formed ponds and tadpoles, is one I need to read again as I missed something (I read too fast, concentrated too hard on text and not the big picture, etc.), or it can mean it is not for me. It is […]

The sedge is wither’d from the lake, And no birds sing.

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

by Leave a Comment

Silent Spring, Rachel Carson’s powerful, 1962 non-fiction book documenting the damage caused by widespread and indiscriminate use of pesticides, has been on my TBR for a long time. I considered it something I simply had to read if I was going to continue to claim to be a science lover and environmentalist. I thought this would mostly be review for me since I’m already aware of the harm that DDT has caused. For one thing, I’m involved with an organization that supports conservation efforts around […]

Stick and Stone Explore and More. by Beth Ferry

Simon and Chester V02 Super Sleepover by Cale Atkinson

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Other country (Simon & Chester author from British Columbia) Two cute stories for the at least five and up crowd found their way to my reading table the other day. I was looking for something quick, and they seem to fit the bill. The first was Stick and Stone Explore and More. This book by Beth Ferry is at least the second in a series. The adult reader should be fine picking it up but do find the introduction story for the kiddos! Mostly […]
