Review
Some Monsters Are Different:
"This title is a fresh take on the theme of accepting differences in others. Milgrims digital drawings feature silly monsters and contrast different likes and dislikes, different personalities."—School Library Journal
"Interesting how being yourself is championed, yet at the same time, most kids are keenly aware of the pressure to fit in and not be too different. In this slim title, Milgrim pairs his brief text with hilarious illustrations to celebrate a charmingly diverse group of monsters."—Kirkus Review
Eddie Gets Ready for School:
“An energetic romp with high appeal.” —School Library Journal
“That age-old struggle of getting kids off to school in the morning goes to new extremes in this howler from Milgrim. . . . Parents who have been there and kids who are still struggling with independence will find it hard not to root for Eddie.” —Kirkus Reviews
