Baloney and Friends

Praise for Baloney and Friends: An Amazon Best Book of the Month Greg Pizzoli does it again! These delightfully funny friends will inspire young readers to write and draw their own stories. --Dav Pilkey, creator of the Dog Man and Captain Underpants series Kids will gobble up Baloney! --Ben Clanton, creator of the Narwhal and Jelly series Porcine-ly-perfect! --Laurie Keller, Geisel Award-winning author of We Are Growing! Wild exuberance...will draw young readers right in. The breathlessness of the stories is given form in brightly colored, big-eyed characters, who...exude clear, accessible personalities. Pizzoli has managed to bring his picture book energy into comics form with a zing...making this the rare comic that serves as a fun and easy read-aloud. A sure bet for Elephant and Piggie fans who are ready for the next step up or want to make the move to comics. --Booklist An amiable new graphic novel series...Pizzoli's approachable art style communicates emotions and personalities through exaggerated facial expressions that should be clear to readers moving into chapter books. --Publishers Weekly Here's hoping there will be a bunch of Baloney in the future. --Kirkus Reviews Praise for Baloney and Friends: Going Up!: ...a perfect graphic novel for young readers. --Graphic Policy [A] short, simple, sweet book that one can read over and over again. --School Library Journal blogs
