"Robb Mommaerts' wonderful artwork in the Solomon Raven Series
is very friendly and inviting; he has captured childlike fun with his
unique and refreshing style."
Aaron Moriarity, Illustrator of Poppel and Poppel's Place (Poppel Press)
“The Solomon Raven Series is a fun way to learn the lessons of life
and the engaging artwork gives the animals personalities of their
own.”
Jean Peerenboom, Green Bay Press-Gazette
“Young children will easily learn about nature and animal habitats
when you read to them the beautifully written books in Amy Crane
Johnson's Solomon Raven Series. Robb Mommaert's illustrations are
as velvety warm as Pearl Squirrel's nest. These are books to be
enjoyed with your child.”
Shirley VerBruggen, Community Relations Manager, Barnes & Noble, Green Bay, WI
“…The text flows with ease and a charming simplicity, and the
subtle illustrations will surely be enjoyed by readers. The book has
a glossary of English and Spanish words. The bilingual format makes
it a suitable addition to any collection.”
Críticas
“…like its predecessors, Mommaerts’s full-page cartoon illustrations have…child
appeal. The big news here is the immense improvement in the translation. In the
capable hands of de la Vega, the Spanish version is accurate and colloquial, a
quantum leap…”
School Library Journal
“Cinnamon & the April Shower is a bilingual (English/Spanish) picture book
entertainingly written by Amy Crane Johnson, superbly illustrated by Robb
Mommaerts, and translated by Eida de la Vega…Children ages 4 to 8 will be
informed even as they are being entertained with this carefully crafted book
that is a “must” for school and community bilingual picture book library
collections.”
Midwest Book Review
“This Spanish/English picture book [Cinnamon & April Shower / Canela y el
aguacero de abril] will help bring Spanish into the classroom. The glossary
at the end of the book is useful to teachers before and during readings.
The illustrations bring the animal’s concerns during the storm to life…I
recommend the purchase of this book for libraries that are building
bilingual book inventories.”
