Snow Foal by Susanna Bailey
I would have enjoyed Susanna Bailey’s Snow Foal a lot when I was about ages 10 to 14. I would have liked the free spirit of the main character, how she struggles to be independent, how she needs to go home, and how she learns home can be where the heart is, even if it does not always include all the people you love. As an adult, I still appreciated most things, but sometimes Addie’s attitude left little something to be desired. The other characters […]
The Old Truck by Jerome Pumphrey and Jarrett Pumphrey
I had heard of The Old Truck by Jerome Pumphrey and Jarrett Pumphrey, but never saw a copy. That is until I accidentally came across it as an online reader copy. The version I found was for the board board edition. I was only about half way through when I knew that I must find finished copies (thankfully currently available) and send them to all my adopted great-nieces/nephews and save a copy for the future official great-niece (who is due May 2024). And as soon […]
B Is for Bellies by Rennie Dyball
Parker’s Place by Russ Willms
Big Wig by Jonathan Hillman
I was going to use B Is for Bellies by Rennie Dyball as my Bingo Bodies but found another one instead. Therefore, I just decided to add this to a review of two other books about being yourself. Starting with a bunch of bellies (well, we have A first as B is for Bellies is an alphabet book) we have a self explanatory picture book. This book is about big bellies, small bellies, black and brown, and white and purple bellies (okay maybe not purple). […]
Farm Crimes V01: Cracking the Case of the Missing Egg by Sandra Dumais
Farm Crimes V02: the Moo-Sterious Disappearance of Cow by Sandra Dumais
If Doctor Dolittle and Amelia Bedelia had a child, it would be the Inspector. Columbo looks like Sherlock Holmes in comparison to Van Hoof! To say Inspector Billiam Van Hoof is bumbling is an understatement. But ages six to nine will be rolling in the cow patties laughing at the antics our not-so-heroic hero. In Farm Crimes V01: Cracking the Case of the Missing Egg our hero gets lost on the way to the farm (at the bottom of the hill that he lives on […]
Apple of My Pie: Norma and Belly by Mika Song
Norma and Belly V01 Donut Feed the Squirrels has a second installment with Apple of My Pie. Ad when I finally got my hands on this early/easy reader I was most happy as the first book was a tasty treat. (Now I need wait until August 2022 for Pizza My Heart). Mika Song’s cute squirrels are back and ready for adventure. Pop the Squirrel accidently gets squirreled-napped as he falls into the truck that goes to the apple farm. It is up to Norma, Belly […]
