Sometimes I'm Bombaloo

"Praise for Sometimes I Kaploom: * ""Vail and Yum have here created a helpful book for parents and children dealing with separation anxiety."" -- Booklist, starred review Praise for Sometimes I Grumblesquinch: * ""Sensitive and emotionally true, a comforting portrayal of big emotions."" -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for Sometimes I'm Bombaloo: ""Emotions bubble over in this wise picture book about how a child deals with anger. Heo's (Father's Rubber Shoes) highly patterned rnixed-media illustrations, alternately warm and perky, use vibrant backgrounds, blocks of color, and carefully chosen images to depict Katie's emotional tornado."" -- Publishers Weekly * ""A keen-eyed view on the evolution and eruption of a child's tantrum and its aftermath... An honest and understanding appraisal of tantrums from the child's perspective."" -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review * ""Vail gets right inside a kid's psyche, and Heo's inventive artwork catches the kaleidoscope of emotions found there in a book that is both realistic and funny. Kudos to Vail and Heo for making a scary subject manageable."" -- Booklist, starred review ""Anger is the subject of this wonderfully illustrated and beautifully designed picture book. The subject and age of the character in this title bear a very close resemblance to those in Molly Bang's When Sophie Gets Angry -- Really, Really Angry (Scholastic, 1999), yet they are different enough in voice and mode of resolution that most collections will want both."" -- School Library Journal"
