A post is on the way; a notice to go and play. Maybe it's a surprise or you'll wear a disguise. Should it come by an owl, a muggle would think it foul. On the web, it's a treat; click it open for the meet and greet. What am I referring to? Stop by Wednesday for the answer.
I gave you a clue!
Fairday Morrow and the Talking Library will be out on October 23rd! Keep your mind sharp for the next case in the DMS files. The mystery unwinds this month at the "Boo-k" bash. Anything's possible!
This week, we're featuring a book that I came across because of my parents' love for music and art. The Rainbow Goblins by Ul De Rico is in the spotlight today. The band Primus recently released a new album based on this story, and I had never heard of it before! It's a wonderful fairy tale, and being set to music makes the scenes come to life. I'm delighted by the mixed media of illustration, story, and music. What a great way to paint a picture in the mind's eye. The vibes are deep and textured, and this is a book that will definitely be added to my private collection.
My family listened to the chapters online, read by the character, Christopher P. Bacon. It was a delight to hear the words, then sit back and imagine the story to music. The illustrations and songs pluck the strings of imagination, but they might be a little scary. My two year old sister, Margo, is very brave and curious about things, so she loved it, but have a listen before you share it with a youngster. My whole family enjoyed every bit, and we devoured it all. :)
What happens when seven goblins plot to invade the valley of the rainbow and catch colors in their lassos to eat? Each is hungry for its own color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and each is wanting to fill its belly with the creamy deliciousness of a rising rainbow.
After a thunderstorm passes, the goblins dream of the feast that awaits. But underestimating flower power in the magical valley may lead the greedy goblins into a trap.
What will happen to the rainbow if the goblins devour its colors and desaturate the land until it's cold and gray? How will the rainbow escape their insatiable appetites for its tantalizing spectrum? You'll have to read (or listen!) to this brilliant story to find out!
This book is the sequel to The White Goblin, and I'm interested to read that story too. It has been a long time since I've stumbled upon a fairy tale that's new to me, and I'm delighted to have found this one. It even inspired fan art. Thanks to the band Primus for introducing it to me!
Has anyone else read The Rainbow Goblins by Ul De Rico? Or have you listened to the album The Desaturating Seven by Primus. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Excellent guessing, Riddlers! Friday we have a colorful review of a story that will pluck the strings of your imagination, so stay tuned for the good vibes. See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F
Rain falls, bending light- forty-two paints a sight. Once you see what's not there, it's natural to point and stare. Your spirit dances with delight when it's fresh, crisp, and bright. Greedy eyes soak it in, following along the rim. Blurry drops bleed blue while falling on cue. In line, they'll appear, ordered seven 'round a sphere. Victory's not gold at end, it's knowing this as your friend. What am I referring to? Answer: Rainbow!
