Raising Hare
by Chloe Dalton
View in Library Catalog
book cover


After the recommendation of a friend in my memoir writing group, I listened to this audiobook on Spotify. The entire book revolves around the relationship between the author and the young leveret she rescues. Against all odds, the wild hare survives. Chloe Dalton’s meditation on the experience, animal behavior and the impact of humans is moving. Her writing is beautifully descriptive and tender. The book feels timeless in many ways. While listening to Louise Brealey’s narration, I felt calm and free of distraction/outside noise. The book tugs at your heart, gives you hope, and is bittersweet in its honesty. This was lovely!

I like the castle cake because the chicklets make it and I like the chicklets. I think the pictures are funny. I think other kids would just like this book too

Worth Fighting For

I read this book because I’m a fan of the Meant to Be series in which various authors retell Disney princess stories. This modernization of Mulan was ok. I kept thinking how I might have made different choices as the author, but I did get a kick out of Mushu. This book was a bit forgettable for me. I listened to it on Audible using my monthly Amazon Music Unlimited credit.

Civil War On Sunday

This Magic Treehouse book was very informative- covering the harsh conditions and cruelty of the Civil War. Jack and Annie meet Clara Barton and (mild spoiler) a distant ancestor. My 4.5yo thought this book was tragic but interesting.
