I live in a house with service mice and a grumpy old man

I Live in a Tree Trunk by Meg Fleming

March 9, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

  I live in a tree trunk. I live in a barn. I live in a shoebox. I’m down on the farm… So say the animals (and much more) of I Live in a Tree Trunk. Each animal, in simple text by Meg Fleming and simple art by Brandon James Scott, tell us where they live. Things are aimed at the aged three and up, with a few rhymes to help pass the time. There is nothing OMG Best Book Ever! to this picture book, […]

Move over Tiny Rex! The Big Predators are in town!

Mega-Predators of the Past by Melissa Stewart

January 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

“Dinosaurs? What is that? Something you put ointment on?” You will say after reading, Mega-Predators of the Past. Those (as the book says, but honestly, I agree with) scene stealing dinosaurs are nothing compared to the real predators of history. From the smallest (great scorpions and griffenflies (a really large dragonfly-like being) at 28 inches) to the largest (the over 100-foot blue whale) you will see the great creatures. Melissa Stewart gives us as it was. Or, in the case of the blue whale, how […]

Champion Chompers, Super Stinkers and Other Poems by Extraordinary Animals  by Linda Ashman

November 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Champion Chompers, Super Stinkers and Other Poems by Extraordinary Animals  might be one of my favorite books this year. Linda Ashman and Aparna Varma (illustrators wonderfully done by) crated a book that has facts, little fiction, and a lot of fun. A page of facts follows a poem about different animals and the things they do. Chomp well, stink well, and so much more. I am partial to the stinking ones (okay, I like some of the chompers, too. And then there is the ones […]

I might pick on the frogs in this review but there is an elephant too

It's Tough to Be Tiny by Kim Woolcock

June 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What if I told you that being small was not as bad as it might seem? In fact, it can be cool. Oh sure, we vertically challenged people might not be able to reach the average height shelf in the store and have to smile nicely to the tall gentleman for assistance, but if you were some of the animals in It’s Tough to Be Tiny you would be the cat’s meow, bees’ knees and frog of the bog! Kim Woolcock writes about the tiny […]

It’s a zoo out there

A Troop of Kangaroos: A Book of Animal Group Names by Lisa Mundorff

June 23, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

How do you write a 250-word review on a book with probably less than 100 words? Very carefully! A Troop of Kangaroos: A Book of Animal Group Names (written and illustrated by Lisa Mundorff) is a clever book about names. And not just “Kathy Kangaroo” or “Sammy Sardine” or “Bob Otter.” No, I mean that a group of sardines is call a family. A bunch of kangaroos are called a troop. And a bunch of skunks are a real stench. No, really a stench of […]

Play in the Wild: How Baby Animals Like to Have Fun (In the Wild). by Lita Judge

February 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Lita Judge is at it again with Play in the Wild: How Baby Animals Like to Have Fun (In the Wild). They show us how adorable baby animals do adorable things in the wild. Each animal is given a small paragraph or two showing how play helps them grow. And how play will help them survive when they are older. Sweet illustrations that are not overly bold, but not muted either, run about the page letting us know how each critter jumps and plays and […]
