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 […]

October 28, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

Thank you to Disney for providing the book for review and a prize pack for the giveaway. Bruce. Man, what a mom. He’s supposed to be hibernating, but instead we find that he’s in Miami with his four adopted geese kids. He might not be happy about it, but he’s doing it like a champ.

He is who he is. But one day, Kraken starts to really […]

Mr. Particular: The World’s Choosiest Champion! by Jason Kirschner

June 6, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received.] Mr. Particular: The World’s Choosiest Champion is a fabulously action-packed graphic-novel styled picture book with retro-esq illustrations. It is an entertaining and delightful plea for people everywhere to examine their particularities, keep what’s helpful and discard what isn’t. It has a great message of how we should balance improving ourselves with being true to ourselves. If you do, you might just find that your real super powers […]
