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 […]
“I’m looking for something different in a partner by my side”
Prince & Knight by Daniel Haack, Stevie Lewis
I picked this up based on the cover alone; thankfully the story and art inside make it well worth it. Prince & Knight tells the story, in rhyme, of a prince who is going to ascend the throne sometime soon, so his parents decide that it’s about time he gets married. While they’re on their round-the-world tour of eligible princesses, a dragon attacks their kingdom. Wanting to help his people (and get away from the awkwardness of this whole trip), the Prince rides home to […]
Talk to the mountain
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 […]
Krampus kramps your naughty style
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 […]
No if and or butts about it, these books are from top to bottom fantastic
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 […]
You don’t want to be treated like family by THIS family
Cry Out Loud by Tara O’Connor
Tara O’Connor has four authored and illustrated titles to her name, plus several others she is the illustrator of. Cry Out Loud is one of those titles she is the complete creator. I have read three of her works (the fourth is being searched for…). Each one is a little different from the others, yet they all have a similar tone. However, one of the interesting things is that I would say each book is for a different audience. Their memoir Roots, is for the […]
