A Whisper in the Snow, due to some slightly choppy language, caused me to have to stop and start a few times. The text is rich, but I think it might have been translated. Therefore, making the (I am assuming German) original text to English not an easy transition for some people’s ears. This makes it only a rating of 4.5. This is because of two main points. The first is that Ferdun Oral’s illustrations are amazingly fabulous pieces of art. They are items that […]
Do you celebrate with your family? Well so does this family!

And a tradition I try and do is find a couple new books to add to the Halloween collection of treats Bone Soup A Spooky Tasty Tale is the stone soup […]
“Five silly ghosts floating by a gate. The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late.”
“Five silly ghosts floating by a gate. The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late.” But it is not too late for you to pick up Five Silly Ghosts for your special witch, ghost, pirate, alien, princess, or goblin! Five Silly Ghosts is a little board book with the same “five little ghost” story (counting, rhyming and having fun) that we have seen before. There is nothing new for the person who knows this rhyme.
