Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty

Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink by Stacy McAnulty

May 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Good thing I am not a zombie, as it would have made me very hungry to see the delicious brain in all its glory on the pages of Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty. Our zombie friend/chef is the nicest zombie you will ever meet, but you better not even let them smell your brain as it is a very important item for our survival (such as running away from zombies and telling us to get our thumb out of a vampire’s […]

Penguins!

Passionate about Penguins (About Animals) by Owen Davey

May 11, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Passionate about Penguins (About Animals) is a really cool book. The text by Owen Davey shows that they know their subject, know how to present it to keep your attention on said subject and knows how to make you want to know more. As an adult I was learning things and wanting to save all sorts of facts and was laughing about some of the more humorous elements. And there were POOP facts! If you have read any of my reviews you know that I […]

A story gem

Brown is Beautiful by Supriya Kelkar

May 4, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am going to cheat and give you the publisher description: On a hike with her grandparents, a young Indian-American girl makes note of all the things in the wilderness that are brown, too. Includes instructions on how to make a scrapbook. Why am I cheating? Because that is all you need to know about the story. What I want to focus on is how awesomely awesome this book is. We know that story, but this time we have a voice that is poetic, sweet, […]

Turtles are cute, turtles are fun. And when you read about Yoshi, you’ll want one!

Yoshi and the Ocean: A Sea Turtle’s Incredible Journey Home by Lindsay Moore

May 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Note: If I have italicized a large amount of text, it is because it is directly from the publisher description.   Turtles are cute, turtles are fun. And when you read about Yoshi, you’ll want one! Okay, you cannot have a loggerhead turtle for several reasons, but you can learn about one special one in Yoshi and the Ocean: A Sea Turtle’s Incredible Journey Home. In this longer picture book, we follow a young turtle from the time they were caught and injured in a […]

The oldest joke in the book? Maybe. But one of the wonders of the worlds for sure

Yours ‘Til Niagra Falls by Brenda Z. Guiberson

January 19, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Seriously just read this book, okay? It is awesome! The highlighted history of Niagara Falls comes to life with the voice of the falls itself in this picture book by Brenda Z. Guiberson.  Poetic and straight forward, this book is a must to have for science classes, history classes and for environmental studies. The title of Yours ‘Til Niagra Falls might be one of the oldest jokes in the book, but dang it! This time it is worth it and more!  This story is told […]

Growing up

Green Green: A Community Gardening Story by Marie Lamba

August 20, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I think the understatement of the year, century even, is I like books. A lot. And I enjoy working at a bookstore where I can find books I would not normally get in another job (short of a library). I find books that I would not even think of looking at let alone reading. And one of those genres is picture books. I have found once we become “older” we think these are too young, babyish even. We become snobs. I say, “Pa-shah on you!” […]
