A story for book and bear lovers!

Bearnard’s Book by Deborah Underwood

by Leave a Comment

Bearnard’s Book is a bit obvious to the adult reader what Bearnard’s book is going to be about, but Deborah Underwood draws the reader into the story showing the things it might be about. When Bearnard researches books about bears he learns they float, have porridge stolen and are messy. But Bearnard is not able to float (he is a bit afraid to actually) and he does love his porridge, so he just could not deal with it stolen, and well Bearnard is very much not a messy bear. With the help of his friend, Gertie (a duck), he learns […]

Be You, I’m already taken

Being You by Alexs Pate

by Leave a Comment

Being You by Alexs Pate and illustrated by Soud is a fairly idealistic look at being You. The story is very modern. Therefore, if you are looking for a slightly different book about “it’s good to be you” story this is it. I do not mean the story itself is different (the story is like any other with this theme) but the illustrations are different. While there is a mix of children there is defiantly more minority children. And the feeling of the illustrations gives you a more city school feeling. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. In fact, […]

Some Ghouls Do

Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummin

by Leave a Comment

Halloween. There is probably no better holiday. Okay, I am not into the spooky aspects of the day, but the fun and child-like qualities of the holiday is what get my spirit flying. And, of course, CANDY! And Stumpkin has all the fun of the holiday. This pumpkin is perfect: rounder than a basketball, more orange than a traffic cone, not any bad sides! However, he has one small flaw: he has a stump and not a steam. Therefore, nobody wants him to be their jack-o-lantern. Until (spoiler) the end when he finds the perfect home. The themes of “being […]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and these (not so) Ugly Five!

The Ugly Five by Julia Donaldson

by Leave a Comment

The Ugly Five is a FIVE rating all around. I had known about the group of animals called The Ugly Five but had forgotten about them until reading Julia Donaldson’s book. At the end, she gives more information on the different animals as well as the others in the “Five Series” of animals: The Big 5, The Little Five, The Ugly 5, The Shy 5 and The Impossible 5. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to the five animals that are not the loveliest by the standards of the other animals of the plains. However, […]
