How NOT to Make a Jelly Sandwich by Ross Burach

October 8, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

In my role as a bookseller, behind the scenes operator and an aunt I find many different types of books with varying degrees of likable success. One of those books I found recently was an online reader called How NOT to Make a Jelly Sandwich by Ross Burach who is doing double duty as author and illustrator.  The book’s result became one that was not different in the sense the idea was different (a girl makes a sandwich in a creative way as we have […]

This book was not meant for me. It is […]

The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach

April 9, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Therefore, I was excited to read about myself…. I mean about a caterpillar […]
