Review: My Keyboard Was Hi-Jacked by Mammy Oaklee

My Keyboard Was Hi-Jacked is another story in the fun and simple storytelling style of author Mammy Oaklee. She writes from The Heart of the Bottoms Up 2/3 Acre and tells us what happened when her keyboard gets hijacked by non-other than a…creeper! You know, for a writer is a very big thing if you are unable to use your keyboard and Mammy tells us with innocence and humor how she felt in her moment of fright.

Well, we all have our fears and in my case I can relate to her phobia or every-bug-phobia perfectly! I think this story opens a door to talk about our particular fears, and how we can overcome them or at least live with them. This tale also show us the other side of the story. I always tell my children how horrific must’ve felt for the cricket that saw their shoes coming at it; he had no other choice than hopping high!

My Keyboard… made me double check my shoes this morning! Other than that it’s a story than I’m sure will be a delight to read with the family. Like in the previous book of these series, "Mailbox Kitten", the illustrations are beautifully done. And just so you know, Mammy Oakley, there are touch-screen keyboards now-a-days…and I’m writing this post in one of those.

REVIEW: Mailbox Kitten by Mammy Oaklee

Mailbox Kitten is a charming and nostalgic story that transports the reader to the Heart of the Bottoms Up 2/3 Acre to follow the adventures of Mammy and Pappy when they move into their new home in the country.  A special delivery in their mailbox will bring not only joy and excitement but also will make them face loss, grieve and eventually, hope.

 

I enjoyed reading this short story, told in a very evocative prose. The style is contagious and took me back to my own childhood memories: my house in the suburbs, the chickens we raised in our big yard, the cats that wandered around, my beloved dogs and the sadness and pain we had to go through every time one of them departed.  And that’s the special quality of this book: It can help a child cope with the death of a dear pet. But it is not somber or sad in anyway, on the contrary, it ends with hope, with laughter and joy. The illustrations are nicely done and convey the spirit of the story. They can help a wandering little mind to stay focused and understand the action in the story.

I have a feeling that author Mammy Oaklee has more sweet stories under her sleeve and that she’ll entertain us with her memories for years to come.
