I liked the Porcupine picture

Moonlight Prance by Serena Gingold Allen

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The publisher description of Moonlight Prance says it best: Foxes, hedgehogs, and other nocturnal animals come out to dance and play at night, in this rhyming bedtime story with tabs to pull and push. I had been wondering about the tab part of the book as I read it via online and there were these spots in Serena Gingold Allen’s story I was thinking, “What in Blue-Blazes-Sam-Hill is that????”  As the flap was not shown, so there was a blank space or something odd looking […]

My first non-Bingo review with a Batty good time read

Amara and the Bats by Emma Reynolds

August 18, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Amara and the Bats by Emma Reynolds has gotten several reviews, promotions and been put in a newsletter for independent stores across the country. Now, I am not one to usually love a book that gets so much hype and praise. And I am also not one who usually agrees with my fellow independent bookstore staff members in my bookstore, let alone across the nation. However, when I found a copy of this picture book in reader copy form, I said, “Give it a shot. […]

I can’t come up with a clever title for this so just read it okay?

Ella’s Night Lights by Lucy Fleming

December 4, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not sure if I liked this story about Ella and her friends, but I also am not sure if I disliked it. Ella’s Night Lights has an atmosphere that is both hopeful and somber. There is a delightful story of friendship, yet there is a sadness about the that Ella is a fragile creature. There is a lot going on in a few pages. It is then up to the reader to decide what they feel about the book without others telling them. […]

Seriously! Just read books in this series

Science Comics: Bats: Learning to Fly by Falynn Koch

May 5, 2020 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I am going to say, “Just read any of the First Second Science Comics. I don’t need to tell you about them, just do it! They are great. And not just me recommends them, but every kid I have talked to/hear about reading them agrees.” But I do have to write 250 words about Science Comics: Bats: Learning to Fly by Falynn Koch. So, here it goes! When I read nonfiction, especially something science based, my first thought is, “How much have things changed since […]

Proudly Perfectly Peculiar

The Peculiar Possum by Tracey Hecht

January 15, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Peculiar Possum is one of a series. I do not know which number but know that there are several in the older easy reader level (I would say ages high first up to medium second grade), as well as a few novels for (according to Amazon aged 7 to 12. But not having read them, I am unsure if this is correct. I find their ages tend to be a bit on the young side, to be honest). The premise of this one is […]
