Reviews
Praise for Please Don't Eat Me: "Climo masterfully includes a ton of expression behind the two protagonists' tiny dotted eyes. [...] Droll humor that's sure to elicit guffaws."--Kirkus Reviews
"Hand to fans of [Laura] Numeroff's many books or read this for a raucous and silly preschool storytime."--School Library Journal
* "Echoes of child persistence and adult exasperation might ring familiar to grownup readers, but mostly this will earn plenty of giggles from fans of Jon Klassen and Lemony Snicket."--BCCB, starred review
"[...] Climo's laconic repartee between predator and prey is aimed pretty squarely at a 4-year-old's funny bone. The sarcastic rabbit and the sincere, if sincerely peckish, bear make an entertaining duo."--The Washington Post
Praise for Rory the Dinosaur Wants a Pet: "The cartoon-style illustrations, achieved with "digital magic," are set off with plenty of white space, and...it is an appealing read-aloud. Children just developing a sense of humor will appreciate the innocent silliness of the tale."--Kirkus Reviews
"Climo's sweet digital illustrations brim with vibrant colors, and young listeners will enjoy noting the many witty visual details.... A perfect lap-sit title or story hour choice."--Booklist
Praise for You Don't Want a Unicorn!: "Climo's rainbow-bright illustrations take Dyckman's silly premise to a whole new level of absurdity.... This is a crowd-pleaser, complete with cupcake poops and rainbow burps, and...a welcoming and unobtrusive gender-nonconforming vibe."--Horn Book
"Climo creates gleeful unicorn havoc ... there's a lot of mischievous fun to be had."--Publisher's Weekly
