Sun is a comfortable book that deals with the generations of grandfather and grandchild, patience and imagination. Sam Usher has continued his Seasons with Granddad Series Storm, Rain and Snow with Sun. These stories have a lot of color that represents their season. In Sun there are many bold reds, warm yellows, and deep oranges mostly, but all the colors represent as well. They are bright, warm and sunny. They fit the feel and theme of the book perfectly. The plot of the story is […]
It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus and everything (spoiler) will be okay!
It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus! is a very basic “first day of school jitters” story, but this time it is told from the buses point of view. Claire Messner has created the illustrations showing the reader (slowly as you go along) the apprehension growing on the face of the bus. This is a cute touch and makes it realistic. Jody Jensen Shaffer It’s Your First Day of School Busy Bus! is a very basic “first day of school jitters” story, but this […]
If Wishes were books I’d have more than I do even now!
This is going to be my Delicious! Book. As the rules said that food had to mentioned. Just not what kind of food. And yes, food is mentioned. Granted it is food for a cat, but food nonetheless.

And in the theme of many fairy and folktales the snake promises wishes […]
Introducing Your Friend and Mine: The Honeybee
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, […]
