Kirkus – Hey, Look! A Writer Fellow!

Sleepy Happy Capy KUDOS!

The lovely-yet-difficult-to-please folks at Kirkus let me peek at their forthcoming review for Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles.

And, well, it’s awesome.

The review doesn’t come out until next week, so I’m not allowed to post it here.

But I can post a line:

High Fives for a title you’ll want to embrace.”
— Kirkus Reviews

YAY! If I was a capybara I would be FLOOFing right now (because that’s what super happy capys do).

The book won’t be out until October, but you can preorder it here. Both Kirkus and I think preordering is a very good idea.

Take care!

It’s time to win a signed, hardcover copy my new picture book: Scampers Thinks Like A Scientist!

Scampers Thinks Like a Scientist is the book that received a five-star review from Foreward Reviews. It’s the book that nabbed a glowing notice from the difficult-to-please Kirkus. And it’s the book that stars the cutest mouse in the history of ever.

Oh. My. God. Just look at that widdle face!

So let’s get started!

Wooooo!

Did Kirkus Reviews like Scampers? Why, yes, it did.

Did Foreward Reviews like Scampers? Five stars says yes!

Is Mike Allegra shamelessly promoting Scampers? No. I am filled with shame. But the shame is worth it! I think Scampers is the best picture book I’ve ever written. And it’s got cute widdle mice in it!

Seriously, just look at this adorable face:
