Pest? A Matter of Perception

Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains by Bethany Brookshire

March 25, 2023 by LittlePlat 8 Comments

  What defines a pest, really? What makes one animal seen as a loveable little critter that we want to share our space with and the other an irredeemable menace marked for eradication?  In Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains, Bethany Brookshire attempts to answer this question by giving us a cultural history of our relationship with these species we deem ‘pest-y’ and what makes us so quick to assign them a villainous role.   One of things that really stood out to me is […]

Making the leap to being brave

Evergreen by Matthew Cordell

February 20, 2023 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

There is a book called Evergreen that has this classic looking old school squirrel on the cover. I am thinking Arnold Lobel has come back to do one more work for us! As my childhood book Miss Suzy by Miriam Young, flashes before my eyes. But then I realize it is a book by Matthew Cordell (who is also terribly cool). It is a book that just came out early February 2023. This story is about a squirrel called Evergreen (which honestly, is a cool […]

A book about a cute bat and their cute squirrel friend

Little Bat Up All Day by Brian Lies.

May 2, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Bats at the Beach by Brian Lies. Therefore, every so often I pick up one of their new books (or read again an older one). This summer, we will add Little Bat Up All Day to the line up of batty good times. This time we have Little Bat on a new adventure. Curious about what the animals do during the daytime, Little Bat decides to stay up all day. At first, things are confusing and scary. After all Little Bat is […]

Squirrels and pie oh my!

Apple of My Pie: Norma and Belly by Mika Song

April 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Norma and Belly V01 Donut Feed the Squirrels has a second installment with Apple of My Pie. Ad when I finally got my hands on this early/easy reader I was most happy as the first book was a tasty treat. (Now I need wait until August 2022 for Pizza My Heart). Mika Song’s cute squirrels are back and ready for adventure. Pop the Squirrel accidently gets squirreled-napped as he falls into the truck that goes to the apple farm. It is up to Norma, Belly […]

She’s stolen Spiderman’s theme song (kinda) and talks to squirrels

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Powers of a Squirrel by Ryan North

December 28, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am hoping to be able to get at least one more review in after this one, as I would not want to have my last review be a negative one. Of course, since there are only three more days… I am not holding my breath. I was so VERY VERY VERY excited (if you have not guessed) about a superhero that was part squirrel/part girl. (I am easily distracted by shiny objects, squirrels, books in general and books that happen to have a shiny […]

Two reviews for the price of one post

Baby Monster by Andrea Pfeiffer

I Want to Sleep Under the Stars by Mo Willems

September 9, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It is that time of year again: New reader copies. And two that found their way to my reading desk were a picture book called Baby Monster and an early reader called I Want to Sleep Under the Stars! (Unlimited Squirrels V03).  They have nothing in common except I read them the same day and knew a 250 review each would be hard. Andrea Pfeiffer created Monster Baby.  It is an amusing and rhyming text story about a couple (of scientists) who made a bundle […]
