Happy Thanksliving!

November 7th, 2011 · 5 Comments · Books

Review By JESSICA ALMY It’s no secret that Nathalie VanBalen’s Garlic- Onion- Beet- Spinach- Mango- Carrot- Grapefruit Juice gets me totally, TOTALLY pumped! Or that ever since my husband and I started making our free-form garlic mashed potato pie stuffed with kale, carrots, and leeks (a veganized version of an old Vegetarian Times recipe), Thanksgiving is [...]

The Owly Books

September 28th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Books

Review By HOMA WOODRUM I met Andy Runton, the author of the Owly books, at the San Diego Comic Convention in 2005.  I had never heard of his books but they had an adorable owl on the cover so I couldn’t resist.  They are largely wordless stories, the talk bubbles are filled with pictures and [...]

Sometimes It’s Turkey, Sometimes It’s Feathers

May 24th, 2011 · No Comments · Books

Review By JESSICA ALMY I’d first heard of Lorna Balian’s picture book Sometimes It’s Turkey, Sometimes It’s Feathers because it was recommended on the Vegetarian Resource Group’s veg parents listserv. Then I noticed that readers had also listed it on Goodreads as a good book for vegetarian and vegan kids. So of course I had [...]

Dogs Have the Strangest Friends & Other True Stories of Animal Feelings

March 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Books

Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN I had the pleasure of hosting Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson at a conference some years ago at Farm Sanctuary. He’s as down-to-earth as the animals he depicts in his books on animal sentience. Most recognized for When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love, Masson is a committed animal advocate [...]

Looking for Easter

March 17th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Books

Review By JESSICA ALMY I’ve been on a quest for vegan-friendly Easter books for two years now, but the pickin’s are awfully, awfully slim. It’s a surprise too, since Easter is about new life, so you’d think there would be a huge number of life-affirming children’s books. Not so. Happily, Dori Chaconas and Margie Moore’s Looking [...]

Standing Up to Mr. O.

February 19th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Books

Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN If I had the chance to modify the lyrics to The Sound of Music’s My Favorite Things, I’d be sure to list “finding random children’s animal rightsy books at the library” as one of them.  I just recently scored this little literary nibble. Claudia Mills’ Standing Up to Mr. O. [...]
