Review Quotes
Praise for Saffy Looks for Rain:
- ""During the typical Book Baby day, a few of the babies will look at the book, some will look all over the place and others will be wandering around the room while mom's try to gather them up. Not this day!! Saffy was a hit. Every baby in the room was transfixed by the story - possible attracted by the bold lines and solid colors. It was a great day and I plan to try others by Paola Opal in the near future!!"" - Litlebook's Spot
- ""Bare beauty is what you find in the Simply Small Series book, Saffy Looks for Rain by Paola Opal. The story is sweet and almost haiku-like."" - Word of Mouse Book Reviews

Praise for Perry:
