The Wild Robot on the Island by Peter Brown
Cbr17bingo Red (the red that highlights the top of the cover) The Wild Robot on the Island by Peter Brown is currently available, yet I read via an online reader. This picture book is based off of the novel also by Brown. It takes the highlights of the first book (or I am assuming as I have not had the chance to read the series yet) and adapts them for the five and up crowd. Overall the book is fun and cute. It has moments […]
The Mixed-Up Owl by Marzena Sowa and Joanna Lorho
cbr17bingo Bingo O I admit it, I’m fudging the Bingo O square a bit. I couldn’t find an O title where the letter O started the full title, but there is the letter O in the word Owl, so I am counting this title to fill the spot. Yet, it is not just the title that is an O as the text is “Oh, that is interesting,”and “Oh boy this is going to be something your child will love.” At first, the idea seems like […]
Batcat V03 Cooking Contest! by Meggie Ramm.
cbr17bingo B (for Batcat) When you find yourself reading a series, there are only two options. The first, only read one and hope that you can live with any open ending or continuation to the story unanswered, or two, be like me with the series Batcat and try and read them all! Volume 3 of Batcat is Batcat V03 Cooking Contest! by Meggie Ramm. This time there is more fun and cuteness from Batcat (who is a nonbinary, part bat and part cat creature) and […]
The Runaway Pancake by Tiny Fisscher
Sleep Here, Wake There by Caio Zero
cbr17bingo Culture (Runaway Pancake) and Work (Sleep Here, Wake There) When you are a reader of the children’s genre you find all types of books. One of my favorites are picture books as they are fun, unique and quick reads. Still, they can have deep messages and/or be quirky and fun. The Runaway Pancake by Tiny Fisscher and illustrated by Sophie Pluim (currently available but read via an online reader copy) (CULTURE) is a fun and quirky one with a fun take on the Gingerbread […]
Fox and the Mystery Letter by Alex G. Griffiths
Recently one of my coworkers reviewed Fox and the Mystery Letter by Alex G. Griffiths as author and illustrator. I was interested in it as this coworker and I have one of two things happen when a book is talked about by the other: We both love it. Or one of us hates it. There’s not much in-between. That same day I saw the review for the book and they talked about it in other places, was the same day I received an email with […]
Max, a Little Axolotl #1 (An Original Graphic Novel) by Joey Spiotto
Axolotl and Axolittle by Jess Hitchman and Sarah Rebar
I cannot say that Max, a Little Axolotl #1 (An Original Graphic Novel) is the best book I have ever read. I cannot even say it was a great book. Joey Spiotto made a cute story about coming out of your comfort zone, friendship and even a little bit about axolotls. The thing is, as an adult, I can like and appreciate the book, but it was slightly too simple for my personal tastes. Therefore, at least five and up would be a good read-to […]
