Editorial Reviews

“The Tortoise and the Hairpiece is just the ticket for young children who are just exploring their own identities and discovering differences.” —Midwest Book Review

“[The Incredible Martin O'Shea is] a wonderful story that will help children learn the necessity of imagination and education. At the back of the story was a list of six great questions that will help parents and children interact and further understanding how learning can be a wonderful partner to dreaming.” —The IE Mommy Christine

“A story of courage and strength. Shelby doesn't give in to peer pressure. Best of all, his good deeds come back to him in the form of friends' support, a wonderful reward for living a life that is generous.” —Nancy O. Nelson, PhD

“[The Watch Cat is] a fun, lyrical book written in prose that is easy to read, easy to follow, and fun for the kids to read or listen to as it is read to them. At the end of each book is a list of questions that parents can discuss with their children. As a home school parent, I believe these are great assets.” —The IE Mommy Christine
