#CBR10Bingo: White Whale (on my TBR-list for more years than I can count) Macy used to love running and was very good at it, until one morning, her father (and coach) had a heart attack, and now, Macy doesn’t do that anymore. Instead, she keeps her life strictly regimented and works very hard at her school work, so as to not have to think too hard about her feelings. This summer, her boyfriend Jason is going away to “brain camp” and she will fill in for […]
Ants are not the only uninvited guest here!
The cat-and-mouse game has a new twist with best friends Oliver and Philbert. They are the main characters in Picnic with Oliver (a companion sequel to Tea with Oliver). They are two unusual best friends who go out on a picnic, despite that it looks like it might rain. This, of course, means trouble for our friends. Mika Song creates a lovely story of friendship, adventure and adaptability. While having read the first book might have filled in a few “holes in the story” this […]
Halt! Who Goes there? Friends or Foes…?
When you read advanced reader copies you should be careful about three things: will the text change (therefore, be careful when quoting); will the cover art change and finally will the title change. Friends and Foes: Poems About Us All has at least two of these. It has the change in name and cover image (though I am keeping the image of the F&G as I liked how it came out!) Douglas Florian is a poet known for being deliciously fun, whimsical and quirky. Some […]
Tiny bubbles Make me happy
Bubbles. Who does not like bubbles? Kangaroo sure does! And in this cute (but has been done before) story, Kit Chase shows us how much Kangaroo loves blowing Bubbles. In fact, when she finds some new ones floating by, she follows them and finds Koala. Who is blowing bubbles, too, but does not see very friendly. In fact, is down right shy. Soon, he starts to play with Kangaroo (although while he’s still in the tree). Yet, when Kangaroo needs help from the big bubble […]
Party On, Princess!
I like knowing that if I recommend a book to a child there will be other books by the author. Or in this case, more in a series. Party Time Book One in the Puppy Princess series combines two things that will tickle the fancy of some readers: puppies and princesses. Party Time is the story of a young puppy princess who just does not want to be proper, behave and take baths. And especially does not want to wear pink ribbons in her fur. […]
I am Sorry to Inform You…… I Just Ate My Friend
Maybe I missed the point. Is it a book about karma? I am not sure. With that said, it really is not something I will be recommending. There is nothing redeeming about this book. I would not put my reputation on the line for this book. If you like it, please tell me why. With most books I do not like, I really do feel bad about it. I understand the hard work that authors and illustrators put into their work. I am a writer […]
