Review Quotes

Praise for My Car: "Simply wonderful." - Booklist (starred review)
Praise for My Bus: "There is so much here for repeated readings (and there will be repeated readings). Barton ingeniously introduces basic concepts but...so subtly that even parents may not realize they're getting a math lesson. And yet it's all there for little brains to absorb and work out on their own." - Horn Book (starred review)
"Escalating surprises [with] a high-wire climax. . . . A natural for group storytimes, though plenty of single tots will enjoy seeing Tom's seemingly quotidian world suddenly transformed." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Brightly illustrated . . . reminiscent of children's paintings in its broad lines, startling colors, and simplified shapes . . . With a surprising diversion toward the circus, and a twist back to cycles at the end, this will please fans of [Barton's] previous books and young bike-lovers as well." - Booklist (starred review)
"This latest installment in Barton's transportation series may be the best one yet. Which is saying a lot." - Horn Book (starred review)
