Review Quotes

Critical praise for Jacob Souva's Pedro's Pan:

"Experience all the excitement of a wilderness gold rush through an unexpected narrator: a prospector's trusted gold pan. . . Pedro and Pan--one in red plaid and suspenders, the other round and shiny with a mobile smile and eyes--explore together, braving wild animals, harsh weather, and hard work before striking it big."
--Foreword Reviews

"A plucky pan is a prospector's devoted companion as they venture through the Alaskan interior. But when their search turns up empty, Pan begins to wonder if he's broken in this lighthearted glimpse into gold rush history."
--New York Public Library, a "Best Books for Kids 2019" choice in nonfiction history

"Souva's illustrations employ geometric shapes and a muted palette, investing Pan with appealing personality via eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. . . A sweet little nugget of a story."
