Cannon-balling into one Octopus Garden (or something like that)

Cannonball! by Sacha Cotter

How to Put an Octopus to Bed by Sherri Duskey Rinker

Thank You, Garden by Liz Garton Scanlon

When you need a picture book (or five) to get you out of your reading slump, you hope that one will WOW you. Sadly, I only felt, “That’s nice. But I am not going to be able to write 250 words on each.” Therefore, a collection of three of those picture books reviews! The cry of “Cannonball!” has been heard at the local pool or swimming hole for decades. This time, we hear it from a young child trying to learn how to do the […]

Three Cheers for the skid-steer!

Three Cheers for Kid McGear!: (Family Read Aloud Books, Construction Books for Kids, Children’s New Experiences Books, Stories in Verse) by Sherri Duskey Rinker is another book in the Goodnight, Construction Site series.

It’s all about you

Remarkably You by Pat Zietlow Miller

Celebrate You! by Sherri Duskey Rinker

September 11, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Remarkably You by  Pat Zietlow Miller and Celebrate You! by Sherri Duskey Rinker are two books to add to the “be yourself” books and the “you are great as you are” books.

And to all a Good night…

November 8, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Construction Site on Christmas Night by Sherri Duskey Rinker is like the other books in the series of construction vehicle friends. This makes it a nice addition to your collection of construction books created by Rinker and A.G. Ford. Or if you are not familiar with the series, it is also for fans of construction vehicles. It is also centered around the theme of the Christmas spirit of giving: the construction team works hard to give a special gift at the end of the book […]
