Reviews

Kaya is 5 and we have just started reading chapter books at bedtime.  It was a rainy day here in Hawai'i yesterday, so we started reading Time Out! in the late afternoon.  From the first chapter she was SO excited and engaged in the story.  By chapter 3 she was saying "PLEEEEAAAASE MAMA, CAN WE READ JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER?!"...and so it continued until we finished the book just before dinner time! I've never seen her react like this to a book! So much excitement, big smiles, laughs and I could see the "wheels spinning" in her head while trying to figure out if Mr. Vertex was getting married or not!

There were so many wonderful things about the book - the illustrations made us laugh (I remember when we met you mentioned that partnering with the right artist was so important), I loved the bold faced type that highlighted words we might want to look up and the story pacing was just right.  (And the pink cover was adorable!)"
