The Dino Door by Josh Funk and Renée Kurilla
The online read The Dino Door by a favorite author of mine, Josh Funk, was enjoyable, but did not WOW me. I do like the very end with the silly image that gives a fourth wall break, in one of the pictures on the bedroom wall of the child, so that boosts the overall simplicity, but getting there was not my thing. And when I say simple I mean simple as there are maybe a dozen or so words on the pages total. Writing a […]
Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast V07 Whodonut?: A Holiday Mystery by Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney
Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney had me at Miss Maple and lost me at gummy bugs! Okay, well, they didn’t lose me, just made me pause. But then they had me again at Elvis Parsley. This seventh addition to the Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series, Whodonut?: A Holiday Mystery is a fun, cute and different holiday story. While the “Who Dun-it” aspect and the idea of the last book in a series is not new, the way Funk and Kearney presents things is […]

Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale by Josh Funk
Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale is a book that is on sale. And if you wish to read, this book by Josh Funk, I say don’t be a punk and go forth and do so! You will be happy and look like a pro. Okay, that is the last rhyme I will do (or at least for a time). This picture book came onto my radar when I learned that Josh Funk was having the book Dear Unicorn (illustrated by Charles Santoso) published in […]
