Praise for OINK-A-DOODLE-MOO: This circular tale offers plenty of laughs, and children will love to join in on the wacky string of animal sounds. A great storytime choice....Pass it on. --School Library Journal Praise for OINK-A-DOODLE-MOO: The simple compositions, dynamic posed animals, bright colors, and large word bubbles will make this as successful with larger groups as it will be with an audience of a few. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Praise for OINK-A-DOODLE-MOO: Get ready for many, ever-sillier rereadings. --Kirkus Reviews Praise for OINK-A-DOODLE-MOO: Czekaj wrings an impressive amount of humor from a simple conceit; the story will likely have children ready to play telephone (or just make some animal noises). --Publishers Weekly Praise for DOG RULES: Enjoyable humor with a subtle lesson about...accepting a child who is different. --Kirkus Reviews Praise for DOG RULES: A great read-aloud for engaging and amusing...preschoolers with short attention spans. --School Library Journal Praise for CAT SECRETS: There's readalone potential here as well as readaloud, but most of all there's pretend-to-be-a-kitty potential, and kids will find the opportunity irresistible. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Praise for CAT SECRETS: The book has obvious appeal as a read-aloud, with its instructions and large-format cartoons, but it has the intimacy of a story to be read independently. --School Library Journal Praise for CAT SECRETS: Irresistible cartoon art. --Booklist Praise for CAT SECRETS: Expressive, high-contrast, high-energy cartoons. --Publishers Weekly Praise for AUSTIN, LOST IN AMERICA: Full of colorful, energetic images in [Czekaj's] typical witty style, with laugh-out-loud graphic novel-style scenes from start to finish... A recommended purchase. --School Library Journal
