2. REVIEWS
The Octonauts
By Oliver Chin
and Alina Chau
"This is a heart warming, charming tale where children will learn about the personality of those who are born in the year of the sheep. The illustrations are enchanting, gorgeous watercolours by Alina Chau and add to the enjoyment, and I'm sure the endearment of this book. As my daughter said about Sydney 'she is just so cutie, and pretty, and I love her.' Sydney will capture the hearts of many."
- Adalinc to Life
Good Dream, Bad Dream
By Juan Calle and Serena Valentino
"As a parent of two girls, I appreciate seeing strong female characters defeating the bad guys, as shown above in the fierce Archer who holds back the pack of scowling Cyclops. Those who love details can peer closely at the pictures and see the names of mythical and storybook creatures worked into the illustrations."
