Praise for this book

Praise for TINY KITTY, BIG CITY: "The clever structure, a story told entirely through two-word phrases composed of adjectives and then the nouns "kitty" and "city," makes for a hypnotic, satisfying read-aloud experience, though the order changes after the first two pages, the only time the kitty precedes the city. A cozy story for cat lovers and anyone looking for a happy ending." - Kirkus Reviews
Praise for TINY KITTY, BIG CITY: "This imaginative and creative book...will appeal to all children, as adventure, beginning reader, or even as an inviting cityscape to pore over." - School Library Journal
Praise for TINY KITTY, BIG CITY: "The illustrated cartoonlike spreads, done in acrylic gouache, enable children to follow the journey of the orange-and-white cat as she navigates the busy metropolis and finds kindness and love." - ALA Booklist
Praise for MOO MOO IN A TUTU: "The hilarious speech bubble asides pair perfectly with the bold illustrations to create a winning format for this tale of pluck. A sublimely silly read-aloud for storytime and small group sharing." - School Library Journal
Praise for MOO MOO IN A TUTU: "The uncomplicated cartoon-style illustrations and minimal text--just the duo's dialogue placed neatly in bubbles--make the humor accessible to a wide range." - ALA Booklist
"Izzy's happiness at creating something of his own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud. A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity." - Kirkus Reviews
"The charmingly breezy art depicts Izzy and other figures in thick marker-like lines, giving them a contrasting simplicity to both the complexity of the detailed city in its saturated '70s colors and the paint-like strokes and splatters of Izzy's artwork. Izzy's final piece... underscores the fun of the creative process... and the wry humor playing between text and art is a bonus." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
"Rhythmic, declarative sentences and stripped-down characterizations and settings let the creative process and its rewards shine--and, via the artist's spattering, splattering hues, bring new meaning to the term 'flying colors.'" - Publishers Weekly
