Praise for Judy Schachner

"With his tiny, earnest eyes, and huge head, Dewey is downright adorable, and Schachner's skillful layering of watercolor and pencil textures with photo collage gives the story a homespun, scrapbooked feel." --Publishers Weekly review of Dewey Bob

"The mixed-media illustrations fairly glow with endearing whimsy.... This sweet, homespun...story will appeal to Schachner's many Skippyjon Jones fans and will introduce a new character to the canon." --School Library Journal review of Dewey Bob

"The Skippyjon Jones series is refreshing because of its irreverence. Here is linguistic fun and dual-language punning."--New York Times review of the Skippyjon Jones series

"This gentle book provides support for every child who daydreams in school and a wake-up call for her or his teachers. . . . A lovely celebration of creativity and a different learning style." --Booklist review of Sarabella's Thinking Cap

"Readers, particularly introspective types, are sure to see the magic in Sarabella's perspective." --Publishers Weekly review of Sarabella's Thinking Cap

*"Both feline hero and story are full of beans (more Mexican-jumping than pinto) but ay caramba, mucho fun."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review of Skippyjon Jones
