Lindsay (1760 KP) rated The Berenstain Bears and the Christmas Angel in Books

Dec 14, 2021

Are you looking for another good faith-based book for your child or children around Christmas? Well, The Berenstain Bears and the Christmas Angel will not disappoint. It is sweet as the cubs wait for snow and then get it. They head outside and play in it. They start to wonder what kind of snowman to create.

Children will enjoy this and want to reread it as they continue to be well. This one is a bit different from your typical building of a snowman. Mama and Papa help teach the cubs about their chosen snowman once they have built it.

Children will learn about the Christmas angel named Gabriel. I love how the cubs help each other and bounce off ideas. Their littlest one helps by just being herself. She gives them the idea when she does this.

This book is another classic book for any favorite fans of the Berenstain Bears. These books stand more based on faith and teaching of the Bible so children can learn it. I love these books the best. The author does a beautiful job with this book.

Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated The Grizzly Mother (Mothres of Xsan #2) in Books

Feb 24, 2020

What a beautifully illustrated book! This books follows a grizzly mother bear with her two cubs from hibernation to the next season’s hibernation. It teaches children about different aspects of the grizzly bear’s life in different seasons and their interactions with the Gitxsan community.

I love how it has definitions of words that children might not know (e.g. metabolism).

I think more information about the geographical locality and the Gitxsan would make this book so it is more accessible to children more globally. Afterall, who wouldn’t want to learn about grizzly bears?

Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself

Walt Whitman, Allen Crawford | 2014 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"My copy of Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself, an illustrated beauty of a book by Allen Crawford, which exquisitely spreads out Whitman’s famous Leaves of Grass poem over 234 pages. Its cloth-bound body was a gift from a friend who had been staying in Paris, and it bears a stamp from the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore situated on the Left Bank. The friend is a dear one who I barely see given our current geolocations, but the sort where years can pass and you can still converse as if it were yesterday"

Movie Favorite

"Les Quatre cents coups, better known as The 400 Blows, a film that every man can relate to, because every man once was a boy. It also bears the historical importance of being among the first films of the Nouvelle Vague, along with Breathless. [The last shot] is one of the few freeze fames that I think really works in the history of film. When you do a freeze frame, you have the opportunity to find the exact shot that you want — no guessing. And [director Francois Truffaut] used it to the full effect."

Ross (3284 KP) rated Louder Than Bombs by The Smiths in Music

May 14, 2020

Rolling Stone's 369th greatest album of all time

Good compilation of early Smiths classics, featuring the superb Panic, and a number of their other well-known songs - Ask, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, William It Was Really Nothing and Pleasex3 Let Me Get What I Want.
At times, Morrissey comes across as an annoying whiney child, and even looking at the song titles bears this out. I do wonder if he was breast-fed too long maybe.
Overall a great album if you can give him a little leeway with his whining.
