Reviews
Praise for My Goldfish:
...This book's offbeat settings and strong, simple illustrations...should help preschoolers—and parents—realize that when you bring some creativity to pet ownership, even a fish can be fun.
—The New York Times Book Review
Praise for Lucy Rescued:
Throughout, cheery, cartoon-style illustrations depict the scenes with the good addition of hand-lettered text to highlight Lucy's howling.
