I Dissent – Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark Written by Debbie Levy and Illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley

October 10, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. While I Dissent may look a biography picture book about the Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to any adult passing by, it apparently sends out a secret signal to children that it is actually a superhero book.  Don’t feel bad if you miss the signal.  It’s on a very unique and subtle frequency.   There are no lasers, no Star Wars, no Minecraft anything, no construction vehicles, […]

Manner-Man by Sherrill S. Cannon and Illustrated by Kalpart

February 20, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy of this book from the author.  No other compensation was received.] Wouldn’t it be awesome if, when you’re at the park and children aren’t being nice, a superhero would swoop down and literally teach them some manners? “He teachers good manners, so take his advice:  If someone starts shoving, just shout out ‘Not Nice!’” Manner-Man is a multi-award winning book that indulges my son completely!  I will happily take all the help I can get when […]
