The Seasons Within Me by Bianca Pozzi
I am mostly sure I have read The Seasons Within Me before. I do not, however, think I have reviewed Bianca Pozzi’s story before. This book was read via Edelweiss and due April 2023 Now, even if I have reviewed this book before, I was in a different frame of mind. It is a few days before Christmas, I am trying to keep my happy on (why I have a bowl of Grinch poo on my desk), and I was in a mood where though […]
The Twelve Cats of Christmas by Feather Flores
I admit, I do not like children or pets near Christmas trees. Not so much because they cause havoc (which they do) but for their own safety. And in The Twelve Cats of Christmas one of the things we see is how several cats do a lot of havoc and disregard safety! Feather Flores must have said one day, “Hey! I want to write a Christmas book and let us use cats in the Twelve Days of Christmas!” And we should be happy they did […]
Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty
Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink by Stacy McAnulty
Good thing I am not a zombie, as it would have made me very hungry to see the delicious brain in all its glory on the pages of Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty. Our zombie friend/chef is the nicest zombie you will ever meet, but you better not even let them smell your brain as it is a very important item for our survival (such as running away from zombies and telling us to get our thumb out of a vampire’s […]
Beautiful by Stacy McAnulty
Beautiful by Stacy McAnulty was published around 2016. “Back in the day” when books for girl power were still somewhat new. Therefore, reading this gem now feels a little cliched. However, it is still relevant and a kick-butt tale. This dual aspect made me think I would love to see the reverse side of the story for boys. Have him “be tough” as he gently plays with a doll. Or “proper attire” and is in top hat and tails (of course, if he/they wish to have […]
Love, Z by Jessie Sima
I am not completely familiar with the Robot Z, yet this book is familiar due to the theme. The simple question, “What is love?” is not as easy as Z would have hoped in Jessie Sima’s picture book Love, Z. But a wonderful journey later, Z finds that love might have been closer than they thought at first. A sweet, cozy story about family, friendship, and the real meaning of love. While this would have been a great Valentine’s Day book, it is also a […]
A is for Axolotl: An Unusual Animal ABC. by Catherine Macorol
I admit when I first heard of a fossa, I thought it was something made up for one of the Madagascar movies. But NO! It is REAL! As are all the wonderful and goofy animals you will find in A is for Axolotl: An Unusual Animal ABC. First, you might need to learn how to pronounce such critters as axolotl, quokka, vaquita, and others. There is (at least in my reader copy) no pronunciation guide. Catherine Macorol, next time, even if it is a reader […]
