Caralyn buehner snowmen books6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Recommended to anyone who read and enjoyed Snowmen at Night, as well as to anyone looking for fun Christmas stories told in rhyme. ![]() Caralyn Buehner's text, meanwhile, depicts a heartwarming array of traditional Christmas activities, highlighting the importance of communal celebration. It also contains hidden images that young reader/listeners can hunt and find. Mark Buehner's artwork here is especially lovely, capturing the mysterious beauty of snowy nights and the festive appeal of holiday lights. Like the first picture-book about those snowy figures and their surprising nighttime adventures, Snowmen at Christmas pairs an engaging read-aloud text in rhyme with bright, colorful illustrations. From decorating the Christmas tree in the town square to joining in a round of carols, the snowmen know how to mark the season, returning to their daytime places with a special holiday glow in their hearts. "I think that while I'm snug in bed / Dreaming of Christmas treats, / The merry snowmen slip away / And hurry through the streets." And so the young boy-narrator of this second rhyming picture-book about the nighttime adventures of snowmen enters into another magical dreamscape, in which he imagines the many fun activities snowmen engage in, whilst celebrating Christmas. ![]() The forever queen by helen hollick6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Not only is ?thelred a failure as King, but his young bride, Emma of Normandy, soon discovers he is even worse as a husband.

While Tomie does have the uncanny ability to use her beauty, it always ends with deadly consequences for Tomie herself, rather than just the seduced men. Like most of his fantastic manga, the story quickly takes an unnatural and dark turn. However, Ito does not bring readers a typical noir story in Tomie. Sometimes they are seduced and end up paying dearly for that vulnerability. Usually, these men know this woman will cause them problems, but their love and obsession for her keep them at her side. A femme fatale is a classic trope, typically seen in old noir, of a woman who brings rot and ruin to the men around her. ![]() |
