Review By HOMA WOODRUM We are Eric Carle fans so I love discovering new (to us) books with his illustrations. Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too? is a great book with a veg and family friendly theme (and a wonderful companion to Mister Seahorse). Each page asks if a different animal has a mother, responding on [...]

The Fox and the Hound
August 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Movies
Review By JESSICA ALMY “The Fox and the Hound” is classic Disney, in the best sense. In this 1980s animated film, the makers of “Bambi” are at it again, taking on hunting from the animals’ perspective. While some scenes are a little scary — the hunting scenes frightened my kiddo, as did a scene with [...]

The Cats of Roxville Station
May 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Books
Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN Do you remember having summer reading lists dished out by your public school? There was always such diversity and intrigue (at least in my opinion) amongst the titles that made it to the list. One that I’ll never forget was My Side of the Mountain, also written by Jean Craighead [...]

The Lonely Scarecrow
November 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY All that the scarecrow in Tim Preston and Maggie Kneen’s picture book wants is for the animals to like him. If only he weren’t so, well, scary. This simple story follows the progression of the seasons with stunning illustrations of foxes, badgers, ducks, mice, and even a snail. The wheat grows, [...]
