Bird by Kristin Rosetta Elliott Hood
Through the site that I get most of my online readers, I found several older titles. And by older I mean as far back as even 2002. The publisher was reissuing a few things I was assuming, but that is always fun as you never know what you will find. One of those books, that I almost did not read, was Bird by Kristin Rosetta Elliott Hood and illustrated by Shadra Strickland. This was one from 2017. This book was at first something that seemed […]
Art Club by Rashad Doucet
Art Club by Rashad Doucet is fun. It has a modern take on things, has a mostly diverse cast, and while we know the coming of age story, it is fresh. Best for ages 10 and up (younger can read, but I’m not sure the concepts would be okay for some. Content is fine). There were a few bumps (things solved too conveniently, a few cliches for the adult characters) but overall everything works well. The idea is how the adults in our main character’s […]
Not Perfect by Maya Myers
We Light Up the Sky with Music! by Nick Maland
I like books not just because they are fun, but because there is fun for everyone. Now you might not like a book about Best Buddies; or Romance; or World War Two. But that is okay, there are plenty of leaves on the tree for you to find something you do like. And that is what Not perfect and We Light Up the Sky with Music! was for me: one like and one not like. Maya Myers’s story is one anyone can relate too. Being […]
Grandpa and the Kingfisher by Anne Wilson
I have recently read several titles with grandparents recently. One of those books was Grandpa and the Kingfisher. At first, I thought that the book would not be “fun” as okay, follow a bird during its life cycle? Been there done that (and been doing that for about three years now with a robin family that has taken to nesting on the porch. And pooping on my turtle statue). However, I then thought, okay I know this but would it work for a child? Maybe, […]
Eleanor’s Moon by Maggie Knaus
When I saw the title of Eleanor’s Moon for some reason, I was thinking it would be a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt, another Eleanor biography, or a fiction story about a girl named Eleanor who would do great things. Instead, it is a terribly sweet story about girl who was born on a bright harvest moon night, and her grandfather, and how the moon connects them. The story is simple, we follow these two best friends as they do almost everything together. They are only […]
Got Your Nose! by Alan Katz
Let’s get it out of the way: If I had to pick a nose (book), I would pick this one. I can’t catch my nose, it’s too runny. I hope I don’t blow this review. Alan Katz did similar and a few more jokes inside the pages of Got Your Nose! The “you’re never too old for silly fun” is the center of the tale. When Becky’s grandfather Max makes a surprise visit, they sing and play music and end up on a surprise adventure: […]
