Bugs Galore
"With bouncing rhyme and illustrations that demand multiple viewings, Bugs Galore is a rollicking celebration of all things creepy-crawly." - School Library Journal
A Tree for Mr. Fish
"Impeccable comic timing." -Publishers Weekly *Starred review* "Mr. Fish is especially expressive, a master of the absurd...an adorable, laugh-out-loud winner." -Kirkus Reviews *Starred review*
Toys Galore
"A fizzy yet revealing romp through the toy world." -Kirkus Reviews
The Runaway No Wheeler
"The text has an upbeat tempo and an impeccable sense of rhythm. Key words are illustrated in bright colors that pop off the page. When he unloads his shipment, readers will chuckle." -School Library Journal *Starred review*
Trucks Galore
"Staake and Stein keep on truckin’ when madcap tomfoolery and heavy machinery go hand in hand." -Kirkus Reviews
Little Red’s Riding Hood
"The pages burst with vehicular jokes. The result is inspired silliness." -School Library Journal
Cars Galore
"Like a revved-up hybrid of Richard Scarry’s 'Cars and Trucks From A to Z' and P. D. Eastman’s 'Go, Dog. Go!' this book for those obsessed with all things automotive will also make them laugh. The rhyming text is upbeat and offbeat." -New York Times
The Boy and the Bear
"The repetitive, rhyming text, zany backgrounds, and enjoyably designed descriptions of each character make this a joy to read aloud." -School Library Journal
