Review
Praise for KUNG POW CHICKEN #1: LET'S GET CRACKING!
*"Marko's debut is a perfectly puntastic page-turner. Hybrids of comics and traditional pictures, the goofy all-color illustrations propel the fast-moving, high-interest story. 'Ham and eggs!' --you don't want to miss this!" -KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
"This hilarious kickoff to the Kung Pow Chicken series [is] just the thing for beginning readers." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Praise for BRANCHES books:
"These books should be considered for larger libraries wanting to enhance their easy-reader collections." -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"A nice stepping stone to more advanced chapter books." -BOOKLIST
"The extensive full-color illustrations and lively composition suggest a missing link between early readers and graphic novels." -THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS
