Praise for Please Don't Eat Me: Climo masterfully
includes a ton of expression behind the two protagonists' tiny
dotted eyes. [...] Droll humor that's sure to elicit
guffaws.--Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Rory the Dinosaur Wants a Pet: The
cartoon-style illustrations, achieved with digital magic, are set
off with plenty of white space, and...it is an appealing
read-aloud. Children just developing a sense of humor will
appreciate the innocent silliness of the tale.--Kirkus Reviews
Praise for You Don't Want a Unicorn!: Climo's
rainbow-bright illustrations take Dyckman's silly premise to a
whole new level of absurdity.... This is a crowd-pleaser, complete
with cupcake poops and rainbow burps, and...a welcoming and
unobtrusive gender-nonconforming vibe.--Horn Book
* Echoes of child persistence and adult exasperation might ring
familiar to grownup readers, but mostly this will earn plenty of
giggles from fans of Jon Klassen and Lemony Snicket.--BCCB, starred
review
[...] Climo's laconic repartee between predator and prey is aimed
pretty squarely at a 4-year-old's funny bone. The sarcastic rabbit
and the sincere, if sincerely peckish, bear make an entertaining
duo.--The Washington Post
Climo creates gleeful unicorn havoc ... there's a lot of
mischievous fun to be had.--Publisher's Weekly
Climo's sweet digital illustrations brim with vibrant colors, and
young listeners will enjoy noting the many witty visual details....
A perfect lap-sit title or story hour choice.--Booklist
Hand to fans of [Laura] Numeroff's many books or read this for a
raucous and silly preschool storytime.--School Library Journal
