A graphic-novel series for emerging readers about the simple magic of true friendship
 
Easy-going Fox and anxious Rabbit seem like total opposites. But, somehow, they make the perfect pair! Whether searching for hidden treasure or planting a garden in their own backyard, Fox and Rabbit find everyday magic at every turn. On this first adventure, the pair will discover some new favorite things like sunsets, dandelions, and cotton candy. And they’ll face new fears like heights, swimming, and (poisonous!) frogs. Thankfully, there’s nothing Fox and Rabbit can’t do together!

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I love the adventures Fox and Rabbit have. They are such great friends that enjoy having fun together. This book had a few stories.

The first story they both go to a fair. Fox has a swell time winning, while Rabbit cannot win anything. At the end they enjoy the fireworks and the time at the fair.

The second story they go to the beach. Fox can’t wait to go swimming, while Rabbit found every excuse to do anything to avoid the water. He is super scared of the water. Rabbit decides to dig the deepest hole. Fox finally gets him in the water and he loved it. They enjoyed the sunset and find a message in a bottle.

Their next adventure is the map they found inside the bottle. They are supposed to find a secret island, but they need to cross high mountains and creepy smelly waters. They were both brave and made it to the island, but didn’t find what was so fantastic about this place. They enjoy their company and nature.

The last story Sparrow teaches them how to garden. They worked so hard to see their plants grow to find them all eaten. Rabbit just couldn’t help himself.

I love Fox and Rabbit’s adventure, because they always play together and go on adventures together. There are times where one is having a happier time but at the end they work together to make each other happy. The illustrations are so cute. I love the turtle arriving at the end of each chapter asking if he missed anything. That is super funny.

Keeping Mr. Ever After
Annie K.
Publication date: December 29th 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis:

Getting dumped via text on my first day as a high school teacher wasn’t the ideal way to start my morning. Neither was getting hit on by one of my students. It was all a ridiculous wreck, until the beautifully single Mr. Drake McCain found me hiding in the dark in my classroom. Sixty seconds later, he had me laughing and I kind of couldn’t stop staring at his lips.

Drake isn’t complicated. He’s sweet and kind and insanely adorable. The chemistry between us? It’s there in spades. One moment we’re making out in a locked janitor’s closet, and the next I can see myself eating pancakes with him every Sunday morning for the rest of my life.

I believe in fairy tales and happily ever afters, and maybe the search for Prince Charming is over.

Cue the reality check in the form of one bad decision made six weeks ago.

Keeping Mr. Ever After is a sweet and sassy romance with a happy ending, perfect for readers who want all the swooning without the explicit content.

by Sarah SuttonPublication date: January 2021
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult

Synopsis:

Addy Arden lives in a land called denial.

After losing her dad in a car accident, she’d rather pretend things were okay than be crushed by grief and guilt. Her friends buy the fake smiles and her mom doesn’t seem to notice…or care.

And Addy is doing great until she’s paired with Vincent Castello, the most intimidating senior at Greenville High, for a class project. Interview a random classmate and write a report on them. Should be easy, right?

Not by a longshot.

Because the car accident that killed Addy’s dad? It left Vincent’s father paralyzed.

Talk about an awkward ice-breaker.

As the two grow closer, can Addy face her grief and guilt head-on and put her past behind her, or will she let it consume her, and lose the guy who truly takes her breath away?

Goodreads Blurb

“I’ve always looked upon cartooning as comedy’s last frontier. I have done stand-up, sketches, movies, monologues, awards show introductions, sound bites, blurbs, talk show appearances, and tweets, but the idea of a one-panel image with or without a caption mystified me. I felt like, yeah, sometimes I’m funny, but there are these other weird freaks who are actually funny. You can understand that I was deeply suspicious of these people who are actually funny.”

So writes the multitalented comedian Steve Martin in his introduction to A Wealth of Pigeons: A Cartoon Collection. In order to venture into this lauded territory of cartooning, he partnered with the heralded New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss. Steve shared caption and cartoon ideas, Harry provided impeccable artwork, and together they created this collection of humorous cartoons and comic strips, with amusing commentary about their collaboration throughout. The result: this gorgeous, funny, singular book, perfect to give as a gift or to buy for yourself.

My Review: Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I was expecting a collection of cartoon stories almost like a comic book, but they were mostly a cartoon image per page that would have a caption. Some were funny, others I didn’t understand the joke. My favorite part was the illustrations. They are exactly the illustrations you can find in newspapers. Harry did a wonderful job with the illustrations. I did enjoy the illustrations that had Steve and Harry, when an idea came to light. Those illustrations and captions were very funny. I loved how they included some color on some of the illustrations. I love a pop of color. Overall, a fun quick book to read with funny images and captions. They also worked very well together to bring a book that can brighten someone’s day.

Author Biography

Stephen Glenn “Steve” Martin is an American actor, comedian, writer, playwright, producer, musician, and composer. He was raised in Southern California in a Baptist family, where his early influences were working at Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm and working magic and comedy acts at these and other smaller venues in the area. His ascent to fame picked up when he became a writer for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and later became a frequent guest on the Tonight Show.

In the 1970s, Martin performed his offbeat, absurdist comedy routines before packed houses on national tours. In the 1980s, having branched away from stand-up comedy, he became a successful actor, playwright, and juggler, and eventually earned Emmy, Grammy, and American Comedy awards.

Author Biography

Brynn Ford is an independent author of romance in all of its beautiful and sensually taboo forms. She is a lover of the dark, twisted, and playful and strives to bring the unmentionable aspects of passionate romance into her stories.

Brynn resides in the Midwest with her husband and sons, whom she expects will someday be embarrassed by their mom’s books. When she isn’t obsessively writing, you may find her binge watching favorite shows while eating far too much junk food or fanatically reading, always seeking to lose herself in the emotional roller coaster of a damn good story.

She is quite the idealist, despite her fascination with the wicked and warped aspects of humanity. Some of her stories may run out of words before a happily ever after, but she’s a firm believer that her characters continue to live on outside the pages in the minds of her readers. Stories don’t end just because there aren’t anymore pages to turn.

Eventually Evie
by Cat Lavoie
Publication date: January 4th 2021
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance

Synopsis:

How are you supposed to get your life back on track when the Universe won’t stop messing with you?

After a series of personal and professional setbacks, interior designer Evie Glass has lost faith in herself and the world. The last thing she needs is her loud, boisterous family poking their noses in her business, so that’s why she avoids opening up about anything—especially her love life—during their weekly dinners. Thankfully, her bestie and next-door neighbor, Matilda, always has her back.

When Evie is asked to cat-sit Matilda’s beloved rescue, she’s not thrilled at the prospect. One well-meaning mistake later and a distraught Evie is rushing her furry charge to the ER where she meets and is instantly smitten with Fletcher West, a charming veterinarian who seems to return her interest. That is until they both realize they’ve met before—ten years ago when he was dating her temperamental cousin. Fletch’s break-up with Bee put him at the top of her family’s hit list and makes him the last person Evie should be dating.

In addition to navigating a secret romance with Fletch, Evie must also deal with a demanding new job, an eccentric client from her former life, and an ex who’s suddenly blowing up her phone. She convinces herself she’s got it all under control, but what happens when things start falling apart and Evie learns she’s not the only one keeping secrets?

One thing’s for sure…

Eventually Evie’s got to take a chance—on love, on life, and on herself.Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55690516-eventually-evie

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling How to Catch series comes a new winter adventure!

Our heroes’ entry for the snowman contest has magically come to life—and ran away! Can YOU help catch it? Get ready for snow much fun as you travel through a winter wonderland with running, skating, and bouncing through trap after trap to catch the snowman and claim the winning prize. Will the snowman teach our heroes a lesson they’ll never forget? Who snows!

I don’t thumpity-thump or give warm hugs—
that’s for my snowman friends to do.
Clever kids will try to trap me,
but who will catch me…YOU?

My Review: Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I loved the illustrations. The illustrations were adorable and colorful. A snowman is created by a group of children for a contest. A snowman usually comes to life with a hat, but in this book he comes to life with a snow star. Which many have posted that it references Olaf from Frozen. The children create many funny traps to try to catch the snowman. He was so smart that he beat them at their own game. At the end they never catch him, but he leaves them an amazing gift. Overall, the book is cute. Received the book from Sourcebooks early reads to give an honest review.
