Lovin’ those summer reads

Out of the Blue by Nic Yulo

Hair Love ABC’s by Matthew A. Cherry

by Leave a Comment

Theme of this review is: I had two short books and not enough to say about either to make two 250-word reviews. And this time it is only one CBR15Passport, new to me author Nic Yulo. The first book is Out of the Blue by Nic Yulo (who also is the illustrator of this mad capped adventure) is about smallness and bigness. Our gal Coral is a big dreams and big adventure gal, but it is hard to do that when you are the smallest person […]

Lucky Horse Shoes by Kathy Cremer

CBR15Passport, New to me author I could say these books are connected by the fact they are books (a good reason as far as I’m concerned). Or I could say they are connected because they are picture books (better reason). Or I could say they are connected by Kathy Creamer (which is the best as they are). I didn’t know who Creamer was before these books. And between their author and illustrating, I now know they have a bit of a creativeness to them that […]

I liked the Porcupine picture

Moonlight Prance by Serena Gingold Allen

by Leave a Comment

The publisher description of Moonlight Prance says it best: Foxes, hedgehogs, and other nocturnal animals come out to dance and play at night, in this rhyming bedtime story with tabs to pull and push. I had been wondering about the tab part of the book as I read it via online and there were these spots in Serena Gingold Allen’s story I was thinking, “What in Blue-Blazes-Sam-Hill is that????”  As the flap was not shown, so there was a blank space or something odd looking […]

One shiny red apple

Mine! by Candace Fleming

by Leave a Comment

If you have a couple of children who enjoy reading, but not sharing you might want to give them this book. Or one book for each child you have. Because it they are like the mouse, deer, beer, rabbit, and fox of the story Mine! they will not want to share a treat as wonderful as this book. Or in the case of the animals, a red, delicious looking, crisp, round, sweet, apple that is hanging in the tree, ready to plop down and be […]

This is my world and yours

Coexist by Lauren Grabois Fischer

by Leave a Comment

Every page in Coexist by Lauren Grabois Fischer has the words, “This is my world.” Until the very end and you have, “Yes. This is our world.” And, not counting the parental afterwards and the extras, this is the entire story. Therefore, this works best with the really young listener or the young reader who is just starting to read (as they will probably memorize). However, if you are like me when babysitting, or with the nephews, and had to read the same book over […]

Gift and Read

Unicorn Christmas by Diana Murray

We’re Off to Find a Fairy by Corey Reid

by Leave a Comment

Christmas is around the corner, and some people like to give books for the day.  I have two books that might work as gifts. Now it might not get to you before Christmas if your store does not have it in stock, but you can put it on your list for next year. What am I talking about? Unicorn Christmas by Diana Murray, that’s what! Okay, so I was not completely thrilled with the text (it was a tad younger than I usually like) but […]
