Praise for BANDITS:
“An amusing story to be read aloud to many a family, ‘Bandits’ has creative and charming art work from Johanna Wright as she tells the tale, making it an ideal pick for children’s picture book collections.” --The Midwest Book Review
“…one look at Wright’s clothed raccoons, sneaking and creeping, doing just what they please, made me remember just how much I liked raccoons in any books I read as a child.” —BookPage Reading Corner
"Working its charm in a thoroughly underhanded manner, this is the sort of quiet picture book that might sneak into a child’s pile of favorite books and catch adults unaware."—Booklist, starred review
“Given the chance, these bandits will easily steal readers’ hearts with their charming mischief.”
—SLJ
“An enjoyable take on a nocturnal, urban animal’s habits” —Kirkus Reviews
"Readers are meant to cheer for the raccoons against the humans, and they will.” —Publishers Weekly
Praise for THE SECRET CIRCUS:
“The text has a gently incantatory rhythm, while the book’s twilight colors perfectly evoke the magic hour when shadows deepen even as the lights become more luminous.”—The New York Times Book Review
“This would serve effectively as a bedtime story or a classroom readaloud for a quiet moment, and the repeated phrases and simple text also make it accessible for beginning solo readers.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“The closing scene, in which a mouse slyly looks at the reader and shushes a finger, engenders a sense of inclusion in the mice’s little world, which children will recognize in their own family’s happy secrets.” —Booklist
“Just right for bedtime.” —Publishers Weekly
“A quiet, comforting debut, best shared snuggled close together.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The theme of a hidden world, universally popular with children, finds satisfying expression here. A delightful addition to any collection.” —School Library Journal
