Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Vincent the Vixen: A Story to Help Children Learn about Gender Identity in Books
Apr 10, 2018
a short, illustrated book with supporting (teachers/parents) questions. This subject matter may not be seen by all as appropriate for the apparent target age of this book, however, having such a resource to turn to in order to support an individual questioning their gender at a young age is an invaluable resource. Sensitively approached, from a "safe" point of view of a family the main character is encouraged and supported throughout.
Definitely a book to have in all school and alongside medical professionals who work in this field.

See like a vampire?
Illustrated in the colours that the vampires of this graphic novel can see, Red, Black and white dominate the wood print style images. No to everyone's preference, and it does tire the eyes after a while of reading, the story starts off humorously but does seem to find it difficult to go further than that, not finding its place successfully throughout the remainder of this Graphic novel. A shame as I think it all had potential.
Mike (8 KP) rated Neverwhere in Books
Oct 10, 2018
I first read Neverwhere a long time ago, it was an excellent book then, and it still is. Neil Gaiman has an excellent way of describing the scenes and characters, and the story is gripping in a way that makes you not want to stop reading. This new edition, beautifully illustrated by Chris Riddell is wonderful, he draws from Neil's descriptions the characters as I imagine them, and, using the "author's preferred text" and additional material make it well worth the money. Buy this book, it is a beauty to behold, and wonderful to read.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated I am, I am, I am: Seventeen Brushes with Death in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.

I received this book for review
I found this to be a wonderful little tale following 24 hours in the life of a newborn lion cub.
Every gorgeously illustrated page is packed with images of savannah birds and creatures to spot with a helpful picture guide inside the front and back covers for what they are. My 8yr old thoroughly enjoyed going back and forth through the pictures and then asking for more information of each of the animals he had found.
Highly recommended, both informative and entertaining.

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?
