  • Praise for Crankenstein:


    "Expect many re-read requests from Crankensteins who may (or may not) recognize themselves."
    ( Publishers Weekly ).


  • Praise for Martha Doesn't Say Sorry:
    -A 2009 Parents' Choice Approved book

    -Hit the Indie Summer Next List (2009)

    * "Youngsters will recognize Martha's struggle, and they'll appreciate this additional perspective on the fact that..."sorry" can be the hardest word." --The Bulletin (starred review)

    "An enjoyable introduction to what could be a new beloved character." --Kirkus

    "Should elicit giggles. Berger is a sly, sharp writer who clearly understands just how much is at stake for her heroine, which should make the message go down easy with readers." --Publishers Weekly

    "Martha is a delight to follow through her learning experience." --Children's Literature


  • Praise for Dan Santat's Oh No!

    "Santat's brilliantly hued digital illustrations are the perfect foil for Barnett's almost-wordless tale of a science project gone awry...Comic-book, picture-book and movie styles come together in a well-designed package." (* Kirkus (starred review)).

  • Praise for Dan Santat's Chicken Dance


    "Santat's...sculptural, mixed media pictures exude an old-fashioned, theatrical drama that lifts the many jokes-visual and textual-into sublime silliness."
    (--Publisher's Weekly).
