Lots of Good Stuff in these books

Colorful Mondays: A Bookmobile Spreads Hope in Honduras by Nelson Rodriguez

Fiona the Fruit Bat by Dan Riskin

What's Inside a Bird's Nest?: And Other Questions about Nature & Life Cycles by Rachel Ignotofsky

July 13, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like books. You like books. The neighborhood in Tegucigalpa, Honduras likes books. And Luis likes books in Colorful Mondays: A Bookmobile Spreads Hope in Honduras. A lot. And he cannot wait for the bookmobile to come once a week. He cannot wait for the adventures he will find inside books. And he cannot wait for the happy feelings he gets by reading, then telling, the stories. Nelson Rodriguez, Leonardo Agustin Monetes, Rosana Faria, Carla Tabora, and Lawrence Schimel got together and wrote, illustrated and […]

The known and maybe you’ll figure out

What Will I Discover by Tanya Lloyd Kyi

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, Genre (science simplified & how you can do it) What Will I Discover is at the surface an easy story. It is just about scientists and what they know, but then it goes deeper into what they do not know. And our narrator starts explaining all the wonderful things that are still left to be discovered, and they might be the person to do so. Tanya Lloyd Kyi has a sweet story about science and even a little about imagination. Yes, it says it […]

A weekend and a lunch read

Origin of a Hero (She-Ra Chapter Book #1) by Tracey West

What Will I Discover by Tanya Lloyd Kyi

December 19, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two books that found their way to my reading pile were a middle reader chapter book and a short, but ultimately fascinating picture book.

Origin of a Hero (She-Ra Chapter Book #1) by Tracey West (illustrations by Amanda Schank) is a short […]
