Promotional Details
Praise for A Gold Star for Zog:A New York Times Notable Book"Donaldson, the current children's laureate in Britain, is a master of witty comic rhyme and original stories with heart. Here she and Scheffler outdo themselves with the smart, funny -- dare I say, deep? -- story of a dragon in training, a princess who wants to be a doctor and a knight who could use a bit of rescuing. The book gets a gold star too." -- New York Times Book Review"While Scheffler's characters are straight out of fantasy, they exude a sweet, down-to-earth quality that makes them instantly sympathetic. Readers will get a kick out of the genial self-awareness in his cartooning -- on almost every spread, a character glances at the audience as if to say, 'Can you believe this?'" -- Publishers Weekly"A delightful new twist on happily-ever-after." -- School Library JournalPraise for Superworm:"A word lover's delight in rousing, rhyming verse." -- New York Times Book Review* "The unlikely superhero with his googly eyes and winning smile will be a hit, and the rhythmic rhyme will have audiences chanting along by the end of the story... Silly and slimy -- superfun!" -- Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewPraise for Stick Man:* "Donaldson's rhymes never skip a beat, and Scheffler personalizes the many animals, people and settings in his witty watercolors. This yarn could become a December perennial." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review* "Scheffler's engaging illustrations, Donaldson's irresistible rhyming text and repeated refrains make this a winning read-aloud that will stick around long after the holiday season." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.

Great for children 3 to 7

"Great ending to this cute story of being different."

Marian (5/5)

Great book!

"The story is nice, written in verse as Donaldson's other books also are, the moral is obvious and delivered with great sense of humour. The edition is great, great illustrations. So many funny details. I highly recommend both Julia Donaldson and Alex Scheffler's books, perfect for 2-6 year olds."
