NICE Review

Hi hi and happy nearly-almost Fall!

My new one, The Nice Book, releases October 16. Hope you will check out the PARTY at Books of Wonder on the 15th! We'll write a nice story together, and a mean story; You can nominate someone you think is nice to win a free book; and we'll find out, HOW NICE ARE YOU?
This is going to be, well, for lack of a better adjective, nice!

Anyhoo, in the interim, here's an excerpt of the first review of this cute lil' book, from Kirkus:

. . . A variety of animals from bugs to elephants practice what it takes to be nice. . . . There’s plenty of humor here. . . . The images were created with a mix of acrylic paints, ink and china marker, combined digitally—the effect is beautifully childlike. . . . Nice indeed.

Toodle-oo,
David

Leaves review by Karma Wilson

Fabulous children's book author Karma Wilson (Bear Snores On, Frog in a Bog, and many more) has reviewed Leaves on her blog:
Good Karma

Apparently she brings it to schools as a companion book to her bear books. We love this. This is absolutely a very sweet thing to do. Hooray for Karma!

See you in the classroom,
David
