“[A] delightful installment . . . Kids will appreciate the humor even if they’re past that stage.” ―School Library Journal
Praise for the PEEP AND EGG books:
"Rendered with thick lines, flat colors, and simple cartoonlike shapes, Wan’s illustrations are a joyous complement to Gehl’s text." ―Kirkus Reviews
"Gehl’s just-enough text delivers a spot-on channeling of a coaxing parent and oppositional child, while Wan blends expressive emoji-like characters (even unhatched, Egg has a vividly cranky personality) with ingeniously geometric settings." ―Publishers Weekly
"Charmingly illustrated by Wan with bold strokes and spot-on facial expressions, this picture book is delightful. Gehl has created an appealing duo with the enthusiastic Peep and the lovably neurotic Egg...A clever way to demonstrate overcoming one’s fears." ―School Library Journal
“Bold colors, thick lines, and strategic use of white space and panels enhance this preschool-friendly tale about overcoming fears.”―The Horn Book
Praise for THE WHALE IN MY SWIMMING POOL:
“Large, colorful illustrations set against ample space make this appropriate for group sharing...droll touches, such as the shark in the neighbor's pool, keep it fun.” ―School Library Journal
“Using an adorably chunky kawaii aesthetic that fans of her previous books will recognize, Wan (Sleepyheads) serves up a whale-size dilemma... Wan's comedic sensibilities shine as the boy tries various methods to remove the whale, which maintains a state of unruffled serenity... A compromise lets everyone win, while a zinger ending suggests the boy's animal problems are only beginning. Wan's cuddly, candid world is the sort that readers will want to step into again and again.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Wan's curvilinear and comforting style recalls Hello Kitty and other Japanese pop art in its fat dark lines and squat characters, but the hero has an antic physicality and a wide range of emotional expressions. Her world feels safe and joyful, even as the hero experiences anger and frustration.” ―The New York Times Book Review
