PRAISE FOR It's Great Being a Dad:
"Perry’s wide-eyed, brightly colored fantasy creations wonderfully
evoke a pretend-play world where anything can happen but plenty
still goes awry, and Bar-el’s (Audrey [Cow]) deadpan narrative
delivers laughs on every page." --Starred Review, Publishers
Weekly
"[A] very different kind of celebration of Father's Day: one
which revolves around a unicorn, a ballerina, and a helpful father
. . . A zany set of encounters challenges even this special father
in a fun story with unpredictable characters and dilemmas."
--Midwest Book Review
"The imaginations of our children are as diverse as their
personalities. Whether they’re unicorns, Bigfoot, robots or fairy
queen doctors, they all need rescuing from time to time. And the
greatest one in the land, who comes to save the day, is Dad! Who
wouldn’t want to be a dad?" --Story Monsters Ink Magazine
PRAISE FOR Audrey (Cow):
"Move aside Wilbur and Babe. There's a new farmyard hero in town,
and she has no desire to end up hamburger . . . Part Great Escape,
part Hatchet, part Charlotte's Web, all wonderful." --Starred
Review, Kirkus Reviews
"Thoroughly charming." --Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
"[P]urely delightful . . . At its heart, Audrey (Cow) encourages
kids to think even as it entertains - the mark of wonderful
children's literature." --Starred Review, Quill & Quire
"This is no simple farm story; it is a powerful tale that takes a
philosophical stance against today's meat industry . . . A unique
approach to a sensitive topic." --Starred Review, School Library
