Praise for Mokie and Bik Go to Sea

“The high-energy twins introduced in Mokie & Bik (2007) enjoy more misadventures as they continue “monkeying up ladders and down ropes” and “soggy sock skat[ing] down the slippery wet deck” of their floating home, the Bullfrog. …As before, Orr’s freewheeling language and Bean’s many, equally lively ink drawings combine to charge each moment of this rollicking nautical slice of life with a special magic.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“Studded with invented, twin-speak words and lyrical, rhyming phrases…fans of the first book will enjoy the imagery and wordplay.  Bean’s high-spirited illustrations add to the fun.”—Booklist

“Written in a whimsical style that borders on poetry, this second book about seafaring twins tells of preparations for the Bullfrog to go to sea. …Frequent black-and-white illustrations add to the zaniness of the fast-paced story. The book packs so much energy that readers will be panting when they finish.”—School Library Journal
