I LOVE this book

"This book is absolutely adorable, charming and sweet . I don’t have enough words to describe how thrilled I am that I brought it home . The storyline is so precious and full of adventure and old timey feels. It appreciates the simple things of life and celebrates plain ol joy and peace ."

— LaurenP (5/5)

Mystery Buffs

Highly recommend this gem!

"This book is lovely. Both of my kids love it and it also makes for a great gift!"

— Elena (5/5)

Barnaby Unboxed doesn't disappoint

"A great sequel to the Barnabus project. Beautiful drawings similar to first book and a good underlying story about being true to yourself."

— Kristy E. (5/5)

The Fan Brothers Have Done It Again!

"Barnaby Unboxed' is the fantastic follow-up book to 'The Barnabus Project'. Don't let the fact that it's a children's book fool you -- the story is full of allegory and inferencing, positive messages of loving and accepting yourself as you are, friendship, helping others, striving for what you believe in, and the illustrations are just beautiful and capture the imagination. My Kindergarten students absolutely love these two books and we hope a third one is on the way!"

— DottiePea (5/5)

A good purchase

"Bought this for my daughter, we love the illustrations and the main idea behind the story"

— Emma (5/5)

Great book, not as great as original

"Got this for my son who absolutely loves Barnabus. We were excited for the sequel and although this book was good it was not as good as Barnabus. I was a bit disappointed but still worth a read."

— M. L. (4/5)

Great story

"My daughter and myself were lucky enough to receive this book and the first one from Tundra Boos and Tandem Collective Global to do a readalong for. I had seen Barnaby around on Instagram and he was so cute. I was really excited to be chosen for this opportunity. These books are so well made they are actually really heavy and have the most beautiful illustrations. Every amount of page is taken up by art. And the amount of creativity it took to actually conceptualize this story is amazing. My daughter really enjoyed this book and her favourite part was when Barnaby was reunited with the little girl. I enjoyed that there were lots of themes in this story, found family, nobody is perfect, you are special the way you are, everyone deserves love. It’s an all around great read. I did find it a smidge long so my daughter wasn’t paying too close of attention by the end as she had been in the beginning but that could just be her. We would recommend this read to all little kids and adults alike."

— JustineVandale (4/5)

Beautiful and fun to read

"Beautiful book that’s fun to read for both child and parent. Highly recommend for a young child and we enjoyed Barnabus from the series too. Really nice illustrations."

— Desiree (5/5)
