Praise for The Red Lemon

Praise for The Red Lemon:

"Staake's [books] are notable for their sophistication of their graphic design. Simple enough to hold the attention of toddlers, these colorful, computer-enhanced images are also visually interesting enough to please preschoolers and parents as well."--American Library Association

"Bob Staake's modern, crisp illustrations . . . practically jump off the page."--Publishers Weekly
