Are We Human or Rabbit?

Watership Down by Richard Adams

February 10, 2020 by Ale Leave a Comment

While my father’s bedtime stories to me were Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, my husband’s father read him Watership Down. It’s a book I’d never heard of before meeting him, and as it was a huge part of his childhood, I felt I should finally get around to it. In a word, this book is about rabbits. On a larger scale, this book is about a journey, not unlike the hobbits’ trek in Lord of the Rings. But if you’re looking at this book metaphorically […]

How to Track an Easter Bunny by Sue Fliess

E Is for Easter by Greg Paprocki

March 22, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

How do you track the Easter Bunny? Follow the black jellybeans, of course! (Just don’t eat them). Seriously, this new picture book How to Track an Easter Bunny by Sue Fliess (with some out there illustrations by Simona Sanfilippo) is a “you will love or “eh” this book” kind of book. The rhyming text and the sugar popping Easter colors will make it or break it for you. It is politically correct (the Easter Bunny she) and the text is modern but does has a slight classical feel. The […]

Mom, red wagon and apple pie

Hungry Bunny by Claudia Rueda

March 21, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Interactive books that are not necessarily an interactive book are hard to find. But they are the ones that work the best for me. Call it my imagination but I can usually make an interactive book out of anything. Not always, but thankfully there are books like Hungry Bunny where you do not have to “make up” the action/play. Claudia Rueda’s signature format is steady throughout most of her books by allowing you to interact with her main character, this time a Bunny, as they […]

Hopefully this is not a sign of six more weeks of bad books

Brownie Groundhog and the Wintry Surprise by Susan Blackaby

January 7, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Looking at the sale books at work, I found Brownie Groundhog and the Wintery Surprise. As Groundhogs day gets so little love, I figured this might be one of the few books out there about this fun holiday. Spoiler: It’s not. Susan Blackaby’s story is about three friends who spend the day having a picnic in late December, only at the end, to have Brownie (a groundhog) go off for her winter’s nap. She tells her friends the fox and the rabbit, she will see […]

    I completely agree with that, and have even had thoughts of some kind of Romantasy homage fairy tale collection! But...

    This sounds amazing. I saw some discussion today about contemporary monster romance being the descendant of fairy tales.
