Review Quotes

Praise for Do You Like My Bike? (Hello, Hedgehog! #1):

Selected by the Chicago Public Library as one of 2019's Best Books for Kids!

"The effective graphic-novel style will appeal to early readers drawn to that format, and the carefully simple but energetic text will help those readers find success. The story is sweet, almost old-fashioned in its innocence, with basic messages about friendship and empathy. Cartoonist/author Feuti utilizes bright colors, highly emotive facial expressions, and color-coded speech bubbles to keep it kid-friendly and engaging... A fun addition to a young reader's collection." -- Kirkus Reviews

Children looking for early graphic novels as well as those ready to advance from Elephant & Piggie will enjoy this low-stakes drama. A kind story about friendship in an appealing format." -- Kirkus Reviews
