SELECTION - CBC Most Anticipated Books of 2016

PRAISE FOR Sam Sorts:

"A deceptively simple, joyous introduction to set theory, with lots of other concept practice as a bonus." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews 

"In her inimitable way, [Jocelyn's] created (yet another) book that satisfies both simple and sophisticated readings." --The Toronto Star

"Marthe Jocelyn takes a fun look at categories and counting in this very cleverly conceived story. Kids will delight in the cut-paper images of everything from a zipper pull to a robot, and Sam’s surprising solution makes for a tidy end to this unique story." --The Children's Book Review

"A decided 5 stars." --Reviews in Chalk

PRAISE FOR Ones and Twos:

"This delightful concept book brings visual literacy to the forefront . . . The simple descriptive verses . . . are spot-on to reinforce images of numeracy, sorting, paring, common-object recognition, and the daily lives of young children. The charming collages are the stars of the show and will inspire curiosity." --Starred Review, School Library Journal

"Sophisticated and yet endearingly simple, Ones and Twos can be enjoyed by both very young children and the adults who read it with them." --Starred Review, Quill & Quire

"Marthe Jocelyn's text is perfect in its simplicity, the short phrases and vocabulary just right for toddler audiences, while the rhythm and rhyme are spot-on . . . a visual feast of colors, patterns and textures." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
