Pup 681: A Sea Otter Rescue Story by Jean Reidy

May 27, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pup 681: A Sea Otter Rescue Story is based loosely on an actual situation of an otter (Luna of the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago) being rescued. After I finished reading, I was not sure I liked this cute, poetic story of a baby otter and the adventure it takes to find their home. I feel that is probably since it was too cute for me in places, and maybe also even too short. But this book can be fun for the right audience. There are […]

Moon and You

May 15, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Hello to You, Moon, Sally Morgan, Sonny Day and Biddy Maroney have made a book for you. As Sara O’Leary and Ashley Crowley have made a book for The Boy and the Blue Moon. And as Alison Oliver made a book for a girl called Moon. And my theme is books about the moon (if you have not guessed). Hello to You Moon by Morgan is a simple book about animals saying hello or goodnight (as the case might be) to the moon. The delightful […]
