Paws V01 Gabby Gets It Together by Nathan Fairbairn

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I gave the second book in the PAWS series a higher than I might have score for potential. But after reading book one, I think I need to bump that down. As book one, Paws V01 Gabby Gets It Together, was a real pooper. Book two was probably given a three (I do not remember, but I do remember it did not “grab me” but I figured that was because I hadn’t read book one). This time it is a one, or a 1.5 at […]

The Best Dog: Hilarious to Heartwarming Portraits of the Pups We Love by Aliza Eliazarov and Edward Doty

April 28, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: I did not read every page of The Best Dog: Hilarious to Heartwarming Portraits of the Pups We Love but did read the majority. The book is a nice art/coffee table book. It is a good gift for the dog lover. A few lines to a paragraph accompany each of the dogs and their photograph. The stories range from “this dog likes parmesan cheese on their food” to “this dog, that I rescued two days ago, alerted me to the fact the farms […]

One plus one equals WAAAY too many rabbits

Too Many Rabbits by Davide Cali

December 16, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Another Edelweiss read was Too Many Rabbits. And I will assume that Davide Cali’s book was only a sample, as there were a few missing pieces, but enough was given so I know that in mid-March 2023 this book will be on all the lists. I will be honored for the illustrations of Emanuele Benetti, it will be noted for the text of Cali, and it will be applauded for the subject. I would not be surprised if Angus Yuen-Killick was given note of their […]

Bathe the Cat by Alice B. McGinty

Latke, the Lucky Dog by Ellen Fischer

December 9, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Bathe the Cat is a love it or not book. And it all depends on what you think of insanity and a very naughty cat. One of the dads of the story wants everyone to clean up as Grandma is coming soon. But even though he has a very put together list of chores posted, the cat (who is on the list as the recipient of a bath) decides to mix things up and mayhem ensues to the point of sweeping the fish, mopping the […]

The short book with a long title and big idea

My Very Own Special Particular Private and Personal Cat by Sandol Stoddard Warburg

November 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My Very Own Special Particular Private and Personal Cat has a feeling of not being a contemporary story, but also has a contemporary theme. I believe this book was originally from the 1960s, but the idea of self-confidence, self-understanding and self-autonomy comes into play as we see in several of today’s stories. Sandol Stoddard Warburg (author) and Remy Charlip (illustrator) created a story about boundaries that a young boy learns from his cat. The cat of the story is a simple creature but has a […]

Mindy and change

Paws: Mindy Makes Some Space by Nathan Fairbairn

October 28, 2022 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

Paws: Mindy Makes Some Space by Nathan Fairbairn, and illustrated by Michele Assarasakorn   This book is a cozy friendship story that includes three best friends, lots of dogs, a cat named Chonk, and (finally) new friends. There are a lot of bumps along the way (and hopefully only chocolate in the face of one girl) but still it makes for a fun read.   Now the bumps are several fold. First, there was a story plot mentioned that was confusing to me as I was thinking […]
