Review
Praise for ALWAYS IN TROUBLE:
"Jones's simple but amusing cartoon-style illustrations add up to a solid offering in the naughty-dog division." -KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Whimsical cartoon illustrations make Toby's troublesome and dangerous behavior seem humorous and lighthearted, in the same spirit that misbehaving is handled in such stories as David Shannon's No, David! (1998). Children will delight in Toby's antics." -BOOKLIST
Review
Praise for PRINCESS PINK AND THE LAND OF FAKE-BELIEVE #1: MOLDYLOCKS AND THE THREE BEARDS:
*"Jones takes 'The Three Bears' for a dizzy spin in this laff-riot series opener.... Being cast against both genre type and publishers' convention, Princess likes 'dirty sneakers, giant bugs, mud puddles, monster trucks, and cheesy pizza' far more than fairies, princesses or anything pink, and she also (for a wonder) has dark skin in the cartoon illustrations.... Fledgling readers will agree with Princess' bemused comment: 'This Lane of Fake-Believe is crazy-cakes!'" -KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
