Reviews

Praise for the Mrs. Madoff series: ST. PATRICK’S DAY: “It’s exactly the same scene that’s played out in elementary schools across the country every March, and as such it will be sweetly familiar to readers…it will be deservedly welcomed by teachers in many settings.” — Kirkus Reviews

Praise for the Mrs. Madoff series: ST. PATRICK’S DAY: “Lizzy Rockwell’s clear, vivid spreads evoke an active learning environment. This welcome addition to the series clearly outlines the importance of this day in March on which everyone is Irish.” — School Library Journal

Praise for the Mrs. Madoff series: MOTHER’S DAY: “A mother-daughter team adds to a winning streak of classroom books centering on young children’s preparations for important days with this celebration of mothers… This winsome, instructive book may focus on Mother’s Day, but it can be read anytime.” — ALA Booklist
