Unicorn Boy Volume One by Dave Roman
One weekend I had no energy to do anything but move my eyes across a page, as I sat and turned pages of a book. Therefore, I sat on my porch, propped a book onto the table that lives there and read Unicorn Boy Volume One by Dave Roman. Which if the cutesy cover didn’t clue you in to the fact that it is a super fluffy and light book, the title would have. Not to say it is bad, but for an adult who had […]
Recently a coworker asked us to send some of our favorite Banned and Challenged book titles and a little snippet about it and/or why we love it. I emailed her back and said did she want them alphabetically, order of importance or just my favorite? How did I approach it? I thought, send a few favorite author(s), but that was too many. Just every book I read that has been B-and/or-C? Way too many to do. Therefore I said “Make it simple.” And found a […]
Cry Wolf Girl by Ariel Slamet Ries
I think I dislike everything about this book, Cry Wolf Girl, yet it was an amazing read. I just could not put it down. There are no natural breaks so it was not like I could stop at the end of a chapter but that didn’t matter. I just wanted to gobble it up. The book makes you think, feel and question. There are clearly marked paths we are taking, but things are not straight forward. It is artistic. It is not what you think […]
I Am the Mountain by Steven Weinberg
I Am the Mountain by Steven Weinberg is a fun and cute illustration that paints the seasons as seen by a mountain. While good for most ages, this book is broken into four “chapters” (each season) that might be best for an adult lover of art, nature or unique picture books. It might seem easy at first glance, but there are layers and it can be deeper than you would think. Read via an online reader copy but I think I might find a finished […]
Tonight Is Krampus Night by Kyle Sullivan
One thing I try to do every year is to find at least three Christmas books and at least one other winter holiday book. The Christmas books I try to find are a religious one, a more fun one (Santa, or silly reindeer have been in the past) and an Other book (maybe spiritual but it hits the spirit of things). I try to find one Hanukkah and one Winter Solstice, or something that is a holiday and/or just fun. This year I found a […]
Whose Furry Butt Is That? by Christianne Jones
Butt or Face? V03 Super Goss Butts by Kari Lavelle
Butt or Face? Volume 4: Ador-A-Butts! by Kari Lavelle
There are several books in my “naughty but funny” category when it comes to the “is it butt or face” question in the genre of children’s science books. This time Whose Furry Butt Is That? gets down to the bottom of things and asks the hard questions. Or the question of can you tell who this butt belongs too? There are hints, clues and photographic images. Things are funny and educational. It will get your younger reader interested while they giggle (mommy/daddy/teacher said BUTT!). In […]
