A Junior Library Guild Selection
“Splashy facts and fun in sand and saguaro country . . . As it turns out, the horned toad can do something that will have audiences of young readers . . . chorusing ‘DO IT AGAIN! DO IT AGAIN!’” —Kirkus Reviews
“Horned Toad may seem laid back with his Texas drawl, but this small lizard has a big secret and is ready to show it off. . . The humor and gross factor will have readers clamoring for this fact-filled picture book” —School Library Journal
Praise for Stinkbird Has a Superpower:
WINNER 2024 Buckeye Book Award (OH)
A Fuse #8 Best Book of the Year
* “This comical picture book about the Amazonian hoatzin swoops in to delight readers with funny facts, and Shea’s smooth and textural digital illustrations and eye for composition effectively create a child-like stinkbird perspective . . . Educational narration pairs with bantering dialogue to portray a loving relationship between father and son.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review
“Cheerful and humorous . . . a treat for a nature-themed storytime. A lively glimpse of a weird and wonderful bird.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Effusive . . . The peppy, unmistakably fact-forward text gets plenty of zhuzh via digital images by Shea. Flat, tropical colors and layers of leaves convey the rainforest’s lushness while providing a suitably theatrical backdrop for an idiosyncratic family’s celebration of pride.” —Publishers Weekly
