Word of the Day: Kindness

Can Sophie Change the World? by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace

A Small Kindness by Stacy McAnulty

Hundred Feet Tall by Benjamin Scheuer

June 2, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Kindness is the word of the day. Or, at least, the word of the review. Sophie wants to give a gift for her grandfather. He says he does not want anything, but when she insists, he asks her to perform a good work and change the world (a mitzvah). She does not know how she can change the world. She is just a kid and not able to do big things. But when she tells her grandfather of the acts she did while trying to […]

Hungry or thirsty? Read a book.

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 […]

Strap on your tiara and wear your pirate sword

Beautiful by Stacy McAnulty

May 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Beautiful by Stacy McAnulty was published around 2016. “Back in the day” when books for girl power were still somewhat new. Therefore, reading this gem now feels a little cliched. However, it is still relevant and a kick-butt tale. This dual aspect made me think I would love to see the reverse side of the story for boys. Have him “be tough” as he gently plays with a doll. Or “proper attire” and is in top hat and tails (of course, if he/they wish to have […]

Two books, two ways of telling the same story

Ocean! Waves for All by Stacy McAnulty

The Sea Knows by Alice B. McGinty

July 8, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr12bingo How-To How does a person who likes children’s books find a “how-to book” that is not dull or confusing? I have found several “how to” books or even science or craft kits, and thought, “I’m college educated, and I have no idea what is going on here, how is a kid supposed to figure it out?” But I put my thinking cap on and while waiting for those few minutes at the end of the day to go by (that 10 minutes you can’t […]

cover of the book The World Ends in April by stacy mcanulty

“Not that an asteroid crashing into our planet is a good thing, but it does put everything else into perspective.”

The World Ends in April by McAnulty, Stacy

January 30, 2020 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

Eleanor Dross is getting a little weary of her life. School, as always, is terrible. She has only one friend, and while Mack is the best, she could do without everyone else ignoring her or worse.  Her grades? Let’s not talk about it. And home life, it’s fine, but nothing to, well, write home about. Her recently widowed dad is doing his best. And they have Grandpa Joe to help out too. But Joe is a “prepper” – that is to say, he’s most excited […]

Max is back and knows Soccer

Max Explains Everything: Soccer Expert. by Stacy McAnulty

July 3, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Max Explains Everything: Grocery Store Expert started Max’s teaching journey and now he is back for round two with Max Explains Everything: Soccer Expert. Stacy McAnulty’s Max is exactly like before. Therefore, if you like the attitude and antics that Max did, then continue the journey with this book. If you did not like Grocery Store Expert, then please stop here. I was not a fan of Max while in the grocery store and not a fan of his while he plays soccer. Of course, […]
