This is not your mothers alphabet book! This is not for a young child just learning their alphabet. This alphabet book could be given to an adult. I could also see this used in classes as low as second grade but upwards to junior high due to the items mentioned. It would be a great gift for someone who collects alphabet books. Now why this book is so fantastic. P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Ever by Raj Haldar and Chris Carpenter (illustrated by […]
Classical and modern take on love and children in a new picture book
Love You More is about a couple of parents telling their child how much they love them and what they have learned from loving their child. The parents thought they knew true love with each other, but their child has taken them to another level of love.

My question is, why is this a kid’s book?
The Berenstain Bears: We Love Soccer! is a takeoff of the original Berenstain Bears series. Some of us grew up on the 8×8 paperbacks, some of us had early readers, some of us watched the television series and some a combination. Mike Berenstain has created another set of books that take off from the originals with new and old favorite characters. He now covers themes that are a bit more modern then just “new baby” or “jealous” or “eating too much junk food” or “the […]
Stevie Edwards is a poet, editor, and educator: read why that is
Sadness Workshop: Poems by Stevie Edwards is one of those books that you do not expect a lot of. Around thirty pages, what can she possibly have to say? A lot apparently. Twenty-four poems talking about life. Twenty-four poems talking about the ups and downs of being alive. When I see something set up so “small” I cannot help but wonder if there is a reason behind it or was that all she had at the time? Twenty-four poems: Twenty-four hours in a day? Less […]
You might not agree with my view of hunting but hopefully will agree this is a good book
First, I will be right up front: I grew up in a family of hunters. My mother could outshoot my father when they meet/where first married. I grew up around guns. I was taught to respect them. If I had wanted to, I am sure my father would have taught me to shoot. I have seen animals displayed in ways many people would not approve of or could possible handle. Second, I am a proud meat eater. Have been all my life. And finally, I […]
Why? This Old Thing? Well it’s new to me!
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is my “This old Thing” We know the story: A little girl falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a world of nonsensical and amusing characters. We know the controversial story behind Lewis Carroll and the real Alice. We have probably all have seen at least the Disney movie version. I have seen several live action ones (from Ringo Star as the Mock Turtle, Andrew Lee Potts as Hatter, Phillip Winchester as the Knave and of course, ol’ Johnny Depp) […]
