REVIEWS:
NEIGHBORHOOD SHARKS by Katherine Roy
Publishers Weekly, October 3, 2014: 4th STARRED REVIEW!
« “Drama and intrigue infuse Roy’s study of migrating great white sharks…Roy’s reverence for her subject is evident in her majestic underwater scenes, while light humor and rich content round out a standout resource for shark enthusiasts.”
SUPERTRUCK by Stephen Savage
Kirkus, October 15, 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “Exciting, one-sentence-per-spread text is reminiscent of a Superman cartoon narration. (This is no coincidence; in his secret identity, Supertruck wears Clark Kent-style glasses.)…A serious treat for truck lovers.”
A WONDERFUL YEAR by Nick Bruel
Kirkus, October 15, 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “A comics-style look at the seasons in four short episodes of buffoonery…From silly to quite touching, an array of emotions spans this whole wide, wonderful year.”
BAD KITTY: PUPPY’S BIG DAY by Nick Bruel
Kirkus, October 15, 2014 issue
“Bruel lets Bad Kitty's drooling, happy canine sibling have a tale of his own…Plenty of good, goofy fun that’s ever-so-slightly instructional.”
DOG AND BEAR: TRICKS AND TREATS by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Grandparents.com, October 1st, 2014: “12 Books That Will Amaze Kids”
“Not only did my kids ‘get’ it, they laughed so hard at the unexpected surprise on the last page I thought they might burst.”
THE IRIDESCENCE OF BIRDS by Patricia MacLachlan, illus. by Hadley Hooper
Horn Book, November/December 2014 issue
“A spacious and beautiful book.”
BookPage, October 2014: “A Lush Look at Mattisse’s Art-Filled Childhood”
“Simply resplendent…Well crafted on every level, this is one of the year’s most beautiful books.”
Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast, September 30, 2014: Illustrator Interview!
“I looked at every painting of his I could find. What a great luxury! I tried to find fabrics that he may have seen in his hometown, which was a textile town. I looked at the era’s fashion, architecture, even thought about the music he might have listened to. I used Google Maps to knit together the street he grew up on, which really hadn’t changed much, architecturally.”
KID SHERIFF AND THE TERRIBLE TOADS by Bob Shea, illus. by Lane Smith
The Wall Street Journal, October 5, 2014: SCAN ATTACHED
“Demands to be read in the fruitiest, goofiest, most outlandish accents a grown-up reader can summon. Bob Shea’s screwball Wild West writing and Lane Smith’s sharp-edged, tumbleweed-strewn illustrations combine to make a clever and funny experience.”
THE MONSTERATOR by Keith Graves
Booklist, October 15, 2014 issue
“Without hesitation, Edgar hops in, turns into a fearsome creature, and gleefully terrifies everyone in his neighborhood…Thankfully, Edgar is rather ‘fond of his freakish new features,’ and he lives happily ever after as a monster.”
VIVA FRIDA by Yuyi Morales
Shelf Awareness, September 23, 2014
“In this bilingual love letter to a fellow artist, Yuyi Morales pays tribute to Frida Kahlo in a breathtaking mix of puppets, fabrics and paintings.”
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MUSK OX by Erin Cabatingan, illus. by Matthew Myers
Booklist, October 15, 2014 issue
“What’s a little romp to every single continent among friends? Yes, Musk Ox isn’t the ideal travel mate—he insists on hanging pictures on the Great Wall of China, and he’s a little too enthusiastic about sliding through the ice caves of Austria—but every trip needs some comic relief, right?”

REVIEWS:
ARCADY’S GOAL by Eugene Yelchin
Publishers Weekly, October 2, 2014: Q&A with Eugene Yelchin
“You know that I was born and raised in the former Soviet Union. One of the conditions of surviving in that environment is by shutting it out, and there is no better way to do that than through art, creating your own world.”
Horn Book, November/December 2014 issue
“While there may be enough soccer here to lure the sports enthusiast, it is the emotional power of the tale that captures the reader’s heart.”
BookPage, October 2014: “Soccer in Soviet Russia”
“Both haunting and laugh-out-loud funny, Arcady’s Goal will score big with readers.”
EDWARD HOPPER PAINTS HIS WORLD by Robert Burleigh, illus. by Wendell Minor
BCCB, October 2014 issue
“Describ[es] [Hopper’s] careful observation of scenes and his ability to make shifty amendments to the details, to invite viewers to speculate on what goes on behind glimpsed windows, and to sense loneliness, solitude, or simply guarded privacy in the interiors.”
HOW IT WENT DOWN by Kekla Magoon
Horn Book, November/December 2014 issue
“Believably complex, going behind newspaper headlines and campaign speeches to portray real people caught up in something bigger than themselves. A powerful novel that will resonate with fans of Myers’s Monster and Woodson’s Miracle’s Boys.”
STRONGHEART: The World’s First Movie Star Dog by Emily Arnold McCully
Publishers Weekly, October 3, 2014
“A concise, evocative account of a talented, real-life animal…Heartwarming.”
WINNIE: The True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh by Sally M. Walker, illus. by Jonathan D. Voss
Kirkus, October 15, 2014 issue
“Ideal for Winnie the Pooh fans, this clear, straightforward biography reveals the bear behind the tale.”

“Including some amazing artwork, and a glimpse at Doctorow's shiny fictional MMO.”
THE STRATFORD ZOO MIDNIGHT REVUE PRESENTS MACBETH by Ian Lendler, illus. by Zack Giallongo
Sharp Reads, September 25, 2014
“[Shakespeare’s] actual story-telling – his plotting, pacing, and structure – are so well-constructed it’s spooky. I wanted to introduce those stories to kids at the earliest age possible.”
REVIEWS:
THE DIVINE by Asaf Hanuka, Tomer Hanuka, and Boaz Lavie
Yann Martel, Life of Pi
“Arresting images, a supernatural tale rooted in a real story, and cool gore—The Divine has got it all."
IN REAL LIFE by Cory Doctorow, illus. by Jen Wang
Kirkus, October 3, 2014: “Top SF/Fantasy of October” Feature
“Gamer girl Anda learns through her massively multiplayer role-playing game a little something about ethics and the complexity of people in real life.”
Bleeding Cool, October 2, 2014: “The Visually Stunning In Real Life Tackles Gold Farming and Women in Video Games”
“While the story is heartwarming and thought-provoking, Wang’s art is the main reason you should pick the graphic novel up. She creates such a fantastical and mesmerizing world throughout the Coursegold game, which makes me salivate and want the game and world to actually exist.”
Forbidden Planet, October 2, 2014: AUTHOR & ILLUSTRATOR INTERVIEW!
“My gold farmer stories imagine a globalised labour movement with the bravery and smarts of the IWW and the other early unions. They come out of game guilds — a guild being pretty close to a union already—where they have honed the skills of cooperation and tactics, and they have a shared identity as gamers that they appeal to in their quest for labour justice.”
THE RISE OF AURORA WEST by Paul Pope and J.T. Petty, illus. by David Rubín
The Mary Sue, September 30, 2014: “Kick-Butt Ladies in Comics All the Time, Please”
“She’s an orphan by the time she’s fifteen; she’s famous; she’s a millionairess; she’s a superhero. You know, that’s, like, a lot.”
Nerdist, September 30, 2014: “Exclusive: Comic Creator Paul Pope Prepares Us for the Rise of Aurora West”
“I wanted a European, but specifically a Spanish artist, just because there are so many great Spanish artists. I feel like they’re not as well-known in the States. They’re under-appreciated. But I love David’s art, and I’ve wanted to work with him for a while. So it’s just amazing.”
THE STRATFORD ZOO MIDNIGHT REVUE PRESENTS MACBETH by Ian Lendler, illus. by Zack Giallongo
BoingBoing, September 30, 2014: READ IT HERE!

Examiner.com, September 30, 2014: Review: 5 Stars!
“The Stratford Zoo Midnight Revue Presents Macbeth is a fast, smart and whimsical take that’s a perfect introduction for young readers and a delightful bit of fun for Bard buffs as well.”
Grandparents.com, October 1, 2014: “12 Books That Will Amaze Kids”

“A gripping and genre-bending mosaic centered around the sudden disappearance of physics-obsessed high school junior Tommy Smythe.”
Horn Book, November/December 2014 issue
