Raves & reviews:
Praise for Year of the Jungle:
"Where more realistic illustrations would feel overwrought and sentimental, Proimos’ [drawings] are sturdy and sweet, reflecting a child’s clear-eyed innocence." —Booklist, starred review
" Proimos’ ink-lined, digitally colored illustrations are the pitch-perfect tonal complement to Collins’ narration . . . " —The Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books, starred review
Praise for Swim! Swim!:
"[Proimos] uses the comic-book format, with panels and word balloons, to great effect here; Lerch’s repeated "Swim! Swim!" can be a nice storytime chant. The bright colors and clear art match the simple story and will attract the youngest read-to-me set." —Booklist
"The large font and few words make this simple story of friendship accessible to early readers." —School Library Journal
