Review
PRAISE FOR GRUMP GROAN GROWL
"This deceptively simple picture book by masters of that form encourages readers to overcome their funks by putting them inside' and letting them slide.' . . . [I]ts power goes straight to the viscera in a way that will resonate for a long, long time."--Kirkus ReviewsPRAISE FOR GRUMP GROAN GROWL *"Hooks and Raschka (Be Boy Buzz; Skin Again) charge this temperamental book with few words but ample emotion."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
PRAISE FOR SKIN AGAIN "The art vividly celebrates history and the realism, fun, and fantasy inside each one of us--the dreams of all the way I imagine me.' This is about skin color, but it's also about diversity within a group and within one child, and about finding the story inside the stereotype."--Booklist
PRAISE FOR HOMEMADE LOVE "[Evans's] cheerful, splashy paintings display an abundance of affection between the girl and her parents."--Publishers Weekly
PRAISE FOR SKIN AGAIN "Whether shared with a group or one-on-one, this is an excellent vehicle to initiate discussion on a sensitive and perennially important subject."--School Library Journal
PRAISE FOR GRUMP GROAN GROWL *"[F]ew picture books can match the visceral punch of this one's opening, which does for bad moods what Sendak's wild rumpus sequence did for bedtime naughtiness."--Booklist, starred Review
