Praise for Truck Full of Ducks, by Ross Burach: Burach will have readers quacking up, both with the frequent repetition of the title -- 'Did you call for a truck full of ducks?' is a funny line no matter how often it's read or heard -- and over the illustrations... Sight gags and side comments in the pictures add further yuks to this ducky delight. -- Booklist Children will delight in the extreme silliness of this story and will repeatedly pore over the detailed, colorful, and quirky illustrations. -- School Library Journal Burach tells his story entirely through dialogue, packing it -- and his exuberant, crayon-like digital illustrations -- with visual jokes [and] an abundance of funny details to discover in each scene. -- Publishers Weekly Silly details decorate every spread... Storytime audiences will quack up. -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Billy Bloo Is Stuck in Goo, illustrated by Ross Burach: 2018 CBC Children's & Teen Choice Book Awards Finalist Begs to be read aloud... Gleeful, errant nonsense. -- Kirkus Reviews Plenty to linger (and laugh) over. -- Publishers Weekly Lots of giggles and goo, and weird characters too, in this rhyming cumulative storytime read-aloud, make this title a must-have for picture book collections. -- School Library Journal
