Wild Sea Creatures: Sharks, Whales and Dolphins by Kratt Brothers

by Leave a Comment

This is not your parents Kratt Brothers. Or more likely, your Kratt Brothers. Chris and Martin Kratt took their love of animals and nature and turned it into various television shows and books. Here in the Wild Kratts (based on one television series) the brothers, in their cartoon style illustrations, created a level two reader about the critters of the sea. Very basic information can be found in Wild Sea Creatures: Sharks, Whales and Dolphins. The aged aimed for (like many level twos, but not […]

Nothing is Fishy with Something’s Fishy

Something’s Fishy by Kevin McCloskey

by Leave a Comment

Something’s Fishy is a nontraditional graphic novel. Not set up in the panels that we think of for graphic novels, still, the story and illustrations are one. The story is told while the other characters react but all naturally and flowing into one and another. There is no separation of the two. This is a casual take to present facts in a fun manner. The other pets in the story have some interesting antics that help move things along, but also makes you stop and […]

Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean's Most Fearless Scientist by Jess Keating

I had forgotten I had read Swimming with Sharks by Heather Lang (illustrated by Jordi Solano). Therefore, when picking up Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean’s most Fearless Scientist by Jess Keating I figured it was the first time I had been introduced to Eugenie Clark. While reading, I realized it was the same person. The nice thing was, they are so radically different that even if you have read one you can read the other and enjoy it, […]

I Am a Bird

I Am a Bird by Dana Walrath

I Am a Bird is a great bedtime story. The fact that the character is not mentioned if they are male or female allows it to be an “anyone story.” The illustrations are amazing sweet and simple but wonderfully detailed, too. I would assume by the traditionally stereotypical clothing and hair, that it is a father and son story. Therefore, it would make a nice Father’s Day read-together. However, looking at the cover again, I could easily say this was an older brother or even […]

A Whole Life In 300 Pages

The End of the Point by Elizabeth Graver

by 2 Comments

This book is part of my reading list for my masters, and as such, not something I would have ever picked off the shelf, especially based on its title (it sounds like a beach read to me, which I tend to stay away from). However, I’m happy to report that I loved this book. Spanning the early 1940s to 1999, “The End of the Point” follows a WASP family’s history through their summer vacations in Ashaunt, Massachusetts.  Told through the eyes of the family nurse […]
