Praise for Mr. Zinger's Hat

Selected, "The Next Chapter with Shelagh Rogers" Winter Children's Book Panel, 2012 Selected, TVO Parents's list of Top 10 Summer Reading List for Ages 6-8, 2012 Selected, Today’s Parents's list of 100 Best Canadian Kids’ Book of All Time, 2012 “Petricic .... expertly evokes the episode's understated warmth while cranking up the visual appeal with a set of distinctly delineated central characters interacting comfortably with one another. A thoroughly engaging addition to the shelf of stories about story making." - Kirkus Reviews "Petricic uses simple outlines and candy colors for the story within-a-story and somber shades and cross-hatching for the scenes of Mr. Zinger and Leo – so distinct are the styles, they could easily be the work of two separate, equally accomplished illustrators…. Fagan’s dialogue moves smartly ....” - Publishers Weekly "Mr. Zinger’s Hat is a wonderful story about the shared process of creating... a story! .... It is a charming illustration of creative interaction ....” - CM Magazine “Every child needs a Mr. Zinger – and his hat! – in his or her life .... This book oh-so-softly brings across a sweet, multigenerational message about sharing the power of imagination.” - Booklist From the Hardcover edition.
