What They Are Saying

What’s that saying? “If your nose tickles then someone is talking about you”...? Or wait; is it “when your ears itch there is gossip”...? Either way, I have both afflictions so it must be time for me to call a doctor. While I do that, take a gander at a few things I have overheard.

"This ode to all the ‘mid-kids’ demands to be read aloud accompanied by plenty of foot tapping and grooving.”

Kirkus - The Middle-Child Blues

"The exaggerated expressions and postures of Catrow’s figures bring humor to every page.”

School Library Journal - She’s Wearing a Dead Bird on Her Head!

“Dr. Seuss’s influence can be seen in Catrow’s squiggly line drawings, which feature mushroom-like trees and eccentric characters.”

Publishers Weekly - The Fungus That Ate My School

“This is a great book for children ages five to fifteen, although I have to admit, it was over my head.”

Jon Lovitz - How Murray Saved Christmas

“Characteristic comic extravagance.”

Kirkus - Plantzilla
The Middle-Child Blues
