There's definitely some science lurking here among the laughs, and preschool and primary classrooms can jumpstart the life cycle units with this super-charged title. --<i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i>, starred reviewWill delight fans of Mo Willems's Pigeon series... absolutely charming. --<i>School Library Journal</i>Burach chronicles this miracle of nature in cartoon scenes as loud as the rapid patter... It won't be just adults chuckling at the interactions between the title character and its patiently pupating companions. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>Burach's mixed-media digital artwork makes good use of the cartoon style to depict vibrantly colored caterpillars and the protagonist's overwrought emotions. Particularly humorous are the spot drawings showing the inside of the chrysalis, in which he rails against the measured pace of nature... a good choice for science edutainment. --<i>Booklist</i><b>Praise for <i>Truck Full of Ducks</i>, by Ross Burach: </b>Burach will have readers quacking up, both with the frequent repetition of the title -- 'Did you call for a truck full of ducks?' is a funny line no matter how often it's read or heard -- and over the illustrations... Sight gags and side comments in the pictures add further yuks to this ducky delight. -- <i>Booklist</i>Children will delight in the extreme silliness of this story and will repeatedly pore over the detailed, colorful, and quirky illustrations. -- <i>School Library Journal</i>Burach tells his story entirely through dialogue, packing it -- and his exuberant, crayon-like digital illustrations -- with visual jokes [and] an abundance of funny details to discover in each scene. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i>Silly details decorate every spread... Storytime audiences will quack up. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><b>Praise for <i>Billy Bloo Is Stuck in Goo</i>, illustrated by Ross Burach: </b><b>2018 CBC Children's Choice Book Awards Finalist</b>Begs to be read aloud... Gleeful, errant nonsense. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>Plenty to linger (and laugh) over. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i>Lots of giggles and goo, and weird characters too, in this rhyming cumulative storytime read-aloud, make this title a must-have for picture book collections. -- <i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ross Burach is the creator of the growing and riotously funny The Very Impatient Caterpillar series that includes <i>The Very Impatient Caterpillar</i>, <i>The Little Butterfly That Could</i>, <i>Goodnight Butterfly</i>, and a forthcoming title in 2023.
