Lovin’ those summer reads

Out of the Blue by Nic Yulo

Hair Love ABC’s by Matthew A. Cherry

February 2, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Theme of this review is: I had two short books and not enough to say about either to make two 250-word reviews. And this time it is only one CBR15Passport, new to me author Nic Yulo. The first book is Out of the Blue by Nic Yulo (who also is the illustrator of this mad capped adventure) is about smallness and bigness. Our gal Coral is a big dreams and big adventure gal, but it is hard to do that when you are the smallest person […]

Does a mama shark tell her kiddo to wait 30 minutes before swimming?

Mother of Sharks by Melissa Cristina Marquez

September 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was lucky and recently had Mother of Sharks by Melissa Cristina Marquez fall into my lap (well, in my hands). Not due until late May/early June 2023, Marquez’s story is one we all need to know as it is not just about a woman, or a woman of color, or about science, or the ocean. It is all of that and a fun book to boot. Taking fiction and fact, she tells her story through the eyes of a young girl. We do not […]

The Ocean Is Kind of a Big Deal by Nick Suluk

September 9, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Ocean Is Kind of a Big Deal is Nick Suluk’s latest creation. You might now them better as the Lars the Awkward Yeti author and illustrator, or the books The Brain Is Kind of a Big Deal and The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal. The humor we know in Awkward Yeti is there, but the clever way of learning is added. The book is cartoon illustrations and for the higher preschool to first or second grader (the second grader might be a […]

Tonight on the Titanic

A Night to Remember by Walter Lord

August 15, 2022 by Pooja 3 Comments

CBR 14 Bingo: Cold It’s cold out on the water, cold enough for icebergs – which is half the trouble. Lord recounts the last night of the Titanic, for the moment just before it hit the iceberg to how the rescued passengers were picked up by the Carpathia. I know about as much about the sinking of the Titanic as I’ve gleaned from the movie, but it was fascinating to see myths set straight and learn more in this short book. Lord meticulously gathered firsthand […]

My name is Sunny & my story is on da money!

Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark by Remy Lai

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I adored the Surviving the Wild first two books about a koala and elephant. And Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark is another cute story of Surviving the Wild series. This time we explore how one shark makes friends, learns about humans and their trash. And while Sunny is getting in and out of trouble, we learn about the type of shark Sunny is, the fish that are helpful to them, and yes, our human trash and the problems it causes. The pacing of this […]

Exploring the world on the pages of these books

Fabien Cousteau Expeditions Deep Into the Amazon Jungle by Fabien Cousteau

Fabien Cousteau Expeditions Great White Shark Adventure by Fabien Cousteau

July 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

After a little research, I realized that one of the issues I was having with the Fabien Cousteau Expeditions book of exploring the Hawaiian ocean (the seemingly humble brags of Cousteau himself) was that it was the fourth book in the series, and it was recapping the previous stories. In Deep Into the Amazon Jungle by James O. Fraioli and Fabien Cousteau, this issue comes up when mentioning his Artic adventures (book two) but it felt less “braggy.” (Book one is Great White Shark Adventure […]
