Media Reviews
Praise for A GOLD STAR FOR ZOG

A NEW YORK TIMES Notable Children's Book of 2012

Donaldson, the current children's laureate in Britain, is a master of witty comic rhyme and original stories with heart. Here she and Scheffler outdo themselves with the smart, funny -- dare I say, deep? -- story of a dragon in training, a princess who wants to be a doctor and a knight who could use a bit of rescuing. The book gets a gold star too. -- NEW YORK TIMES

A delightful new twist on happily-ever-after. -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Praise for TABBY MCTAT, THE MUSICAL CAT

A surprising and fun read.... [Scheffler's] bright-eyed, warmhearted characterizations make this a wonderful testimony to the ties that bind. -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

The team behind ROOM ON THE BROOM pair up again in what has become a near-annual ritual of picture book perfection.... Impeccable rhythm and rhyme distinguish this particular tale, filled, as always, with Donaldson's exemplary humor and heart. -- NEW YORK TIMES

A fun frolic about musical duos who aren't quite the same without each other. Like their trademark tune, it all ends 'PURRRR-fectly'. -- BOOKLIST

Praise for STICK MAN

* Donaldson and Scheffler's poignant, suspenseful profile of an inanimate object recalls Laurie Keller or THE VELVETINE RABBIT. Donaldson's rhymes never skip a beat, and Scheffler personalizes the many animals, people and settings in his witty watercolors. This yarn could become a December perennial. -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review

* Scheffler's engaging illustrations, Donaldson's irresistible rhyming text and repeated refrains make this a winning read-aloud that will stick around long after the holiday season. -- KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
