Reviews

"[Chipper the Clown is] a wonderful story to share with children to remind them that their dreams are valid and they should be followed...but sometimes we may have to work a wee bit harder than we expected." --The IE Mommy Christine
"This rhythmic story [Chipper and the Unicycle] teaches children the benefits of trying hard and practicing to reach a goal or learn a new hobby. In today's society, this is an important lesson to learn in a fun story." --Cecilie Mann Engle
"Hank's story [The Higgled-Piggledy Pigeon] lets children know that we all have challenges [and] reminds parents that while children may develop certain learning skills more slowly than others do, they are not necessarily limited for life." --Nancy O. Nelson, PhD
"A colorful teaching story [Twitch the Squirrel and the Forbidden Bridge] about the importance of respecting parents' rules told in jaunty, narrative verse, which helps drive further its appealing and exciting moral to a young childhood audience." --Midwest Book Review
