Caveboy Crush by Beth Ferry

December 27, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This Caveboy has a crush. And boy does he have it bad! Neander is your typical kid: chases mammoth butterflies; plays with his pet rock, Rock; fishes and more. In fact, it is when he is fishing that he catches a glimpse of the most amazing, perfectly hairy gal. He would do anything to get Neanne’s attention. It is not until a comment from his mother to his father that Neander gets an idea on how to act on this thing called Crush. Caveboy Crush […]

Kissy-poo time

Sealed with a Kiss by Beth Ferry

September 12, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sealed with a Kiss is one of those books that you think my might not like, but turns out you do, but not as much as you might have hoped. Beth Ferry’s story about a new seal in town and how she tries to make friends is amusing. Our seal heroine is new at the zoo and wants to make friends. When the sparrow comes down and gives her a kiss, she knows that to make friends she cannot sit and wait for them to […]

A loving bond grows between the two unlikely friends

The Scarecrow. by Beth Ferray

September 11, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Erin and Terry Fan are at it again with their lovely illustrations in The Scarecrow. These works of art are the right colors, tone and filled with details that fit the theme and feel of the story. And while the story is a tad too sugary (in parts) for me, the illustrations help calm that effect.     With that said, Beth Ferry created a lovely book about love, friendship and possibly you could even say that it is a little bit about adoption as […]

Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish by Beth Ferry

May 6, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish is a cute, funny and traditional birthday celebration. Tom Litchenheld’s has created colorful, funny and rowdy illustrations. It might not be the best gift to give as a birthday gift, but it would more likely be a fun read before you have a party. But make sure you or the person putting on the party has read it before you introduce it to the child. This is to make sure that you know all the rules and are prepared […]

Raven’s Family Tree

Squirrel’s Family Tree by Beth Ferry

April 3, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Raven’s Family Tree…. I mean Squirrel’s Family Tree is really a 4.5 rating as it is not my OMG FAVORITE book ever, but it is a book with some strong pieces to it. The story is about how squirrels and oak trees depend on each other. If the oak tree did not grow, the squirrel would not have a home or acorns to eat. And since the squirrels bury the acorns, and forget where most of them are stashed, oak trees can grow from these […]
