Review
Praise for The Tushy Book:
“Each of the delightful spreads gives readers a backside view of a variety of rears, human and animal, in myriad activities.” —School Library Journal
“We all have tushies, but readers will also all have smiles after finishing this book.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Theres a whole lot of “tushy” here, but the creative uses and variations will keep the concept lively for young listeners, who will undoubtedly be drawn to the sparkly underpants on the cover.” —BCCB
Praise for Fran Manushkin:
“A delicious picture book . . .” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review of How Mama Brought in the Spring
“Manushkin tells this story in colorful language with high humor.” —School Library Journal, starred review of Shivers in the Fridge
“What makes Fran Manushkins simple tale work so well is its scope. To paraphrase Menashe the tailor from Latkes and Applesauce, every word of a story should fit as well as a glove. When it happens, it is more than a story. Its a little bit of a miracle.” —James Howe, The New York Times Book Review of Latkes and Applesauce
