This a solid 4.5 as the only issue I have is that I would have liked more facts at the end or even more within the text of the story. This is a poetic story about our friend, The Honeybee. Kirsten Hall and Isabelle Arsenault have created a story that the adult is not going to mind rereading. It has a lot to it, and while there is not a lot of traditional action, this is a lot going on. The rhyming text reminded me […]
Oliver’s Tree and His Friends
Oliver’s Tree is a straight forward story of how a couple of friends (Lulu and Charlie) try and help their elephant friend (Oliver) play in the trees like they do. After all, there is a reason that elephants do not climb trees. This is a cute, fun and sweetly illustrated book. There is not a lot of “meat” to it, but there is the perfect amount of story and adventure for the toddler set. I enjoyed Lulu’s Party, and have not yet read Charlie’s Boat, […]
Dreams of an Extraordinary Life.
In The Dress and the Girl by Camille Andros a young girl dreams of having an extraordinary life. While wearing her favorite dress her mother made her, she goes and enjoys the simple life of her village: watching the sunset, doing chores, picking flowers, going to school, playing and riding in wagons. One day, her family takes a special trip. They are emigrating to a new country. And while the girl and dress still play and go to school, instead of a wagon they are […]
Come see the glory of Vermont!
It is fitting that my 300th book be set in my home state of Vermont. And since Vermont is so awesome, I am reviewing three books! Trust me, no single book can hold all our greatness! And due to the nature of each book, it does take three books to live up to the glory of my state. These three board books are meant as tourist mementos of your trip for your toddler and not an in-depth look at the state. Night-Night Vermont by Katherine […]
Our Days are Numbered, but not the feelings You’ll get after reading Hilborn
Amazons review of Our Numbered Days by Neil Hilborn hits it on the head. He might be talking about love and heartbreak, but he is also dealing with mental illness, loss and death, therefore there is “nothing saccharine” about it. His humor is dark, self-deprecating and raw. Sometimes too raw. He is honest to a fault sometimes and rips the band aid right off. Even when there is no band aid on in the first place. While accessible to almost everyone these poems are for […]
Come along Childe and visit a new world
Edmund and Childe were swapped at birth. Now Edmund, a child of the fae, lives as a changeling in the human world; never fitting in, but very desperately wanting to. Childe is the pampered pet of his fairy parents. He is a curiosity in the court of the World Below. But when Hawthorne, an evil sorceress, takes the throne, it is up to these two along with Edmunds older, human sister and a “walking candle” (a golem) called Wick, to stop her. Prince and the […]
