“Five silly ghosts floating by a gate. The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late.” But it is not too late for you to pick up Five Silly Ghosts for your special witch, ghost, pirate, alien, princess, or goblin! Five Silly Ghosts is a little board book with the same “five little ghost” story (counting, rhyming and having fun) that we have seen before. There is nothing new for the person who knows this rhyme. However, it is still great for the toddler […]
Click your clack and Moo your moo….unless You’re in school….or can you?
Click, Clack, Quack to School by that fabulous team of Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin has Duck still being ducky, but it needs a little more…something! I am not sure what that something is, but this addition to the Click, Clack, Moo series is missing the “muchness” that was found with the others. With that said, it is a nice book to read on the first day or school or on a day that school has been going for a while. This book is not […]
CBR Bingo: Brain Candy
Celebrity memoirs are an escapism go to of mine and I am sort of surprised I didn’t already tag one of them as my “brain candy” bingo square.

Jon Benjamin, the H standing for Henry although his friends and family have already referred to him as Jon, recounts his life’s failures in this quasi-memoir. I listened to the audio […]
Sugary sweetness and a lot of fur, claws and cuteness
This is my Brain Candy (mmm candy…) Kids will love Fuzzy’s Great Escape (Class Pets #1) by Bruce Hale. Me? I enjoyed it, even with the fact that there were a few holes in the story line for me. The story seems to start in the middle of a series. Perhaps there was another series that introduced Fuzzy and friends? There will be others in the Class Pets series, so perhaps he plans flashbacks. (There is a character mentioned that you have never meet as […]
It’s only a novel…
In Northanger Abbey we meet Catherine, an optimistic young girl who likes novels. She goes with her parent’s friends to Bath where she makes new acquaintances and meets Henry Tilney to whom she becomes attached. However Catherine is at once too naive in her friendships as well as a bit too imaginative. Stories are made up and they create stumble blocks for Catherine’s true happiness; marriage to Mr. Tilney. “There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have […]
There’s Always a Road to Here, No Matter Where Here Is (#CBR10Bingo)
I went away this weekend with one of my favorite people and we spent our time looking at gorgeous scenery, visiting museums and historic sites, and eating and drinking local. In doing so we spent a lot of time in the car going from place to place, so my travel buddy suggested we listen to Anna Kendrick’s autobiography because he was sure I would really enjoy it. This is why he’s one of my favorites, perfectly lovely weekend away and happy to re-listen to an […]
