I just read that if you act in a DC movie or Marvel movie, you are now part of that franchise and cannot crossover. In fact, you are not even allowed to go to a premier of the other franchise less it confuses fans. Thankfully, as a fan of both franchises (or at least a few characters in each) I can watch whatever or read any graphic novel I want. And I wanted to read some DC graphic novels for the teenage age range. I […]

Fern and Otto besties on an adventure

Fern and Otto: A Story about Two Best Friends by Stephanie Graegin

by Leave a Comment

Fern and Otto: A Story about Two Best Friends is an adorable book about friendship. But it is also about one friend who probably needs some special glasses to see the adventures right in front of him! And, of course, there are adventures aplenty for Fern and Otto. Much of which are more exciting then first look would assume. These two friends go out looking for an adventure that is more exciting than the one Fern is writing about in her book (enjoying themselves, each […]

The final work from Tomi Ungerer

Nonstop by Tomi Ungerer

by Leave a Comment

When I first saw Nonstop by Tomi Ungerer I figured it was going to be an odd little book. Maybe serious, but nothing too drastic. Maybe even funny in a quirky way. Also, I would not have been surprised if it had been a wordless picture book. It had gotten press, but I was thinking since the art was different and the fact it was Ungerer (not to mention his last picture book) that was the reason it was getting attention. Instead, I was slapped […]

Just breathe, Juliet, just breathe

Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera

by Leave a Comment

Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera has been on my radar for awhile now. However, it always seemed daunting. Perhaps it was the subject, perhaps the length of the book itself or just the fact I am not in an actual novel reading mood this year. Therefore, when I saw that it was going to be in a graphic novel format, I preordered my copy. It was going to be illustrated by Celia Moscote (an illustrator I was unfamiliar with), but the cover gave […]

Picture books are fun

Packs: Strength in Numbers by Hannah Salyer

Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light by Apryl Stott

Macaroon Mouse the Christmas Eve Adventure by Nancy Brigham

by Leave a Comment

I cannot help myself. Picture books are fun. They are easy and help me think, “Well by George the III, I just accomplished something!” And these three books are ones that I accomplished. Packs: Strength in Numbers by Hannah Salyer (Rating 4) The book starts off with a simple poem like sentence about the connections of together; then BOOM! Sayler starts with examples of animals and their connections to the theme. By the end of our story, we go back to the simple line of […]

When One Book Closes, here are two others

Wild about Dads by Diana Murray

Little Monster Trucks GO! by Doug Cenko

I Will Dance by Nancy Bo Flood

by Leave a Comment

I cannot concentrate on long novels of late. When that happens (and occasionally it does), I turn to my picture books (hence why this is number 3 of a list of picture books today). No theme to these. Just three books I read, I liked and wanted to pass along to you. Wild about Dads  by Diana Murray (author), Amber Alvarez (illustrations) While I am giving this a 5, it is a 4.5 mostly because I wanted more! MORE dads and the things they do! […]
