Max the Flying Sausage Dog: Book Three A Scary Tail by John O’Driscoll and Richard Kelley and Illustrated by Arthur Robins

December 6, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

[Reviewed from copy received courtesy of Words in the Works] Max the Flying Sausage Dog is one of our absolute favorite book series.  The subject, the humor, the prose, and illustrations are so perfectly and expertly done and so completely inline with our family’s sense of humor that we’re all enamored with books one, two, and now three. The hardest my eldest son has ever laughed was when we read the first book of Max the Flying Sausage Dog.  He […]

Because of Thursday by Patricia Polacco

October 13, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. Good things happen to Annie Fetlock on Thursdays.  She met her husband, they got married, her children were born, she and her husband opened a restaurant, and she created her signature dish – Poke Salad- all on various Thursdays.  For a long time, Annie’s life was very, very good. Then on a far-off Monday, Annie’s husband passes away.  And, understandably, it is very hard for her. She […]

Jimey the Woodpile Mouse by Elar Ericsson — Perfect Picture Book Friday

April 17, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.  No other compensation was received.] Jimey (rhymes with Eye Me!) the Woodpile Mouse is a beautiful, kind, and one of the most reassuring stories I’ve ever read. It is so well done that it stays with you long after you’ve read it, quietly reminding you not to worry because everything is going to be okay. My eldest son adores Jimey and we’ve read it a countless number of times.  It […]

After reading this story and getting to see what life as a wizard is really like, you’ll feel that you and your family have more in common with wizards than not, and you might find yourself grateful that your […]
