"Utilizing the same style, tone, format, central character, and several of the same curious creatures from Don’t Blink!, Booth turns his attention from an epic staring contest to a secret with this latest. ... It has the potential to spark conversations about keeping secrets and to inspire reading."-- School Library Journal


Praise for DON'T BLINK by Tom Booth:

"The staring contest: it’s a refreshingly low-tech competition, and Booth captures the silly thrill of it all. His story opens with a bright-eyed girl sitting cross-legged in a minimally rendered outdoor setting. She looks straight at the reader, shouts “Go,” and assumes a fixed (but always amiable) gaze." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Competitive readers will love this picture book.... A young girl kicks the tale off with a challenge: a staring contest. Before you can say “go,” she’s looking out at the reader, gaze friendly but unblinking (she won’t be easy to beat). A bird flies along and asks if it too can join in on the contest." —Bookish.com, Summer 2017's Best Children's Books

"A jolly fun interactive read-aloud, perfect for one-on-one and small group sharing." —School Library Journal
