Review:
'Effervescent.' --Publishers Weekly, starred review

'Jaw-dropping illustrations make this a must-read about the man after whom the Newbery Medal is named - a pioneer in children's books. Newbery's vision of children's books overflowing with illustrations and sheer entertainment was revolutionary, coming as it did in the 18th century. An amazing piece of social history.' --Books Monthly
