Review: Praise for LOONIVERSE #2: MELTDOWN MADNESS
Liberally endowed
with jokes, twists and comical line drawings, the tale scrambles its way
energetically to a chocolaty resolution. -KIRKUS REVIEWS
Praise for PUNISHED!
This
lighthearted fantasy would be an excellent classroom read-aloud. The
language concepts are deftly explained and the clever, wordplay-filled
dialogue provides numerous examples. There is an emphasis on
problem-solving and self-reliance as well... [Young readers] will howl
at the atrocious puns and repeat them at the earliest opportunity. Be
prepared for an epidemic of juvenile punsters. -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
Wordplay
is at the heart of this funny, surreal adventure in which even the
title is a pun...An appealing mix of magic and silliness. -BOOKLIST
Praise for LOONIVERSE #1: STRANGER THINGS
This
is a silly book that will pull kids in with the goofy plot and the fun
black-and-white illustrations. -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
