Praise for The Unusual Mind of Vincent Shadow:
"This is a solid, whimsically illustrated writing debut from a real-life toy inventor. It begs for a quick follow up." -School Library Journal

"Vincent is immensely likable...Gee-whiz fun for young tinkerers." -Booklist

"A quick-reading, whimsical tale." -Publishers Weekly

"A well-written, worthy addition to the bookshelves of budding scientists of all ages...(Kehoe) has created a character that may be a successor to the fabled Mr. Swift. Let's hope more adventures are in the offing." -Georgia Times-Union
