"The 5,000 Friends of Veronica Veetch manages to warn against the
perils of snap judgment and extol the wonders of friendly books in
such beguiling rhyme that it doesn’t seem like a lesson at all. In
fact, what it seems like is pure joy.” — Ann Patchett, beloved
novelist and indie bookstore owner
“Featuring utterly charming and whimsical illustrations, Veronica
Veetch is a Seussian frolic of dazzling, dancing, and unpredictable
rhymes that is sure to delight young readers. With panache and
aplomb, Veronica sorts out her friendship troubles in the most
kindhearted and literary way. A nod to book lovers, readers, and
librarians everywhere who often find their very best friends and
adventures in the pages of books.” — Sarah Kostin, Youth Services
Librarian, Bud Werner Memorial Library
