“Chock full of facts, diagrams, and examples, including fun end pages, this book will reward readers who return to it frequently. Bold lines, lively colors and clever use of white space make for an eye-catching read.” --Kirkus, Starred Review



“As in Barton’s I’m Trying to Love Spiders and Give Bees a Chance, the conversational text is so engaging that the information becomes more interesting and easier to absorb. With an energetic, disarmingly childlike look, the illustrations help viewers visualize and understand the concepts described. A welcome addition to this popular series.” --Booklist

Praise for Chris Rylander’s Fourth Stall series:

“Funny, mysterious, and true to the heart of what really matters when you are in middle school. Do yourself a favor. Read it. Now.”—Jon Scieszka, author of the Time Warp Trio series

“Wry, pun-filled text. . . . Humorous illustrations depict the black silhouettes of newly liberated, ambulatory figures (a park ranger, hikers, a bear, road workers). Entire signs, like HAIRPIN TURN and ONE WAY sport sturdy white arms and legs. . . . This union of dialogue-rich text and panoramic representations of a diverse town provides a just-right balance between community-safety instruction and kid-appealing hijinks. Perfect for end-of-the–school-year read-alouds and good fun all year long.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Holub’s concise, satisfying narrative and the characters’ speech-balloon comments read aloud well. The story’s unspoken message, that everyone likes to be appreciated for what they do, is one that young children can appreciate. Capturing the joy of an unexpected holiday, Farrell contributes a series of wonderfully childlike gouache-and-ink illustrations that become increasingly chaotic, then resolve into order as the signs return to their posts. An appealing picture book for reading aloud.”—Booklist

“Along the streets that run by Sunnyside school, the signs are different. They might look the same as those of other towns, but these have a life of their own. . . . Gives young readers a detailed look at common street signs with an inventive story to highlight their importance.”—School Library Journal

“Farrell’s (The Hike) gouache and ink pictures portray a landscape that’s enchanted in a comically quotidian way—readers should get a kick out of watching familiar symbols scamper down the street, some of them sprouting cartoon arms and legs. Minimal narration by Holub (the Goddess Girls series) moves the story along, while dialogue balloons capture the signs’ devil-may-care attitude.”—Publishers Weekly

“I absolutely loved All the Greys on Greene Street. It’s a dazzling debut novel about resilience, courage, home and family.”—Rebecca Stead, Newbery Award-winning author of When You Reach Me

"I’m not sure how its quiet power works, but it works; I stand in front of it, and I’m breathless. The last book that made me feel this way was Rebecca Stead's Goodbye Stranger." —Jack Cheng, award-winning author of See You In the Cosmos

“Skillfully grounded in time and place, full of colorful characters and pearls of wisdom, Ollie’s story shows how it’s possible to save ourselves when the people around us can’t.” —Wendy Mass, New York Times bestselling author of The Candymakers

“This is a beautiful book—a love letter to art, friendship, and family. I devoured it.” —Tae Keller, author of The Science of Breakable Things

Tucker has written with such compassion and intelligence about what we see, what we overlook, and what we try to hide." —The New York Times
