Louisiana’s Way Home by Kate DiCamillo is my #CBR10bingo on a list book. It is on the Publishers Weekly The Most Anticipated Children’s and YA Books of Fall 2018 While I give this book a five there were a few plot holes for me. (Spoiler) Louisiana never sees it is wrong to steal from the vending machine (or worse to get her friend to do it for her). She might be about 10 years old in the late 1970’s and her Granny might not be […]
HOW in the world is a book about ROADKILL actually so FREAKIN’ (only I didn’t say freakin’) funny?????
This is my chosen for its cover book. At first, I thought it was a dancing dinosaur. I then wondered why the dinosaur was tip-toeing across the road. I then read the title. Oooo-kay. This is going to be. Interesting. Hopefully. I was afraid it was going to be very dull and academic. It is not. The author makes sure you are right there along for the journey. She presents her story just as that, a story. The facts are there, but you might be […]
A lighthearted parody of Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar,
The Very Hungry Pregnant Lady is a spoof of that board book favorite, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. The spoof aspect can be a bit much sometimes by having the joke “over played” and done too many times. (Yes, I am looking at you Goodnight Moon spoofs). This time, however, the spoof is hilarious. And it would be the perfect baby shower gift (not so much for the child but for the mother herself). However, there is nothing inappropriate, so a child could […]
Sink your chompers into this nutty tail Humorous Stories
Honestly, I had great hopes for this newest creation by Mo Willems (as I am a little nuts about squirrels). But I Lost My Tooth has too much in the way of shenanigans and not enough bite in the facts about the subject matter area. Granted there are some pieces of information too sink your chompers into about teeth and squirrels, but I would have liked to have seen more. Yet, I am assuming that for the age it is aimed at (The Elephant and […]
Princess Arabella goes to school and I go back to the bookshelves to find another book
Princess Arabella Goes to School by Mylo Freeman is part of a picture book series that shows a princess who is not your typical looking princess. Granted, she has adventures like anyone else, but she has her own special take on things. And her own special way of how to be a princess. The colors of the book are great. They are bold and sassy like our princess. They move the story along. They show how Arabella thinks of herself and the world. The […]
Takes Two to Make a Tango
This is my Fahrenheit 451. To this day I have a hard time understanding the minds of people who ban and challenge books. You do not like it? Great. There are another 4 billion books out there. Find one you do like. But do not tell me I cannot read a book. Justin Richards, Peter Parnell and Henry Cole came together to make And Tango Makes Three. The story is a true story about two penguins in the New York Central Zoo. These two love […]
