Reviews

Praise for Duckie & Snaps: We Cannot Be Friends:

"Filled with humor and heart, Duckie and Snaps' antics will naturally garner comparisons to Elephant and Piggie and serve the same beginning-reader audience. This tale of friendship reminds children and grown-ups alike that while we are all different, we can still be friends. A fabulous start to a series that young readers will eagerly enjoy." -- Booklist

"Speech bubble-heavy text with thoughtful use of repetition enhances comprehension and enjoyment. Digitally colored pen-and-ink illustrations (a mix of scene-setting introductory spreads, varied panels, and single pages) feature crisp black lines, bold hues, and slapstick-y interactions between an unlikely duo -- who, in terms of friendship, turn out to be very lucky ducks." -- The Horn Book

"With jaunty, clear-line ink cartooning, Miller (Izzy Paints) gives the goings-on a sketch comedy feel, while Dyckman (Campingland) provides read-aloud-with-relish repartee." -- Publishers Weekly

"A kooky tale of unlikely friendship." -- Kirkus Reviews
