Timmy & Tammy's Train of Thought
by Oliver Chin
illustrated by Heath McPherson
"Timmy and Tammy was a perfect fit for us! It is about a sibling set that love to read about trains and play with trains... The illustrations by Health McPherson make me think of I Dream of Jeannie. They are fun, whimsical, cartoonish, 1950's-ish and did I say fun?... Great book and we've reread it multiple times."

Play with your Food
by David Derrick
"Adult readers and children alike will enjoy finding these animals hidden in the illustrations as the story progresses. The story takes on a circular format, as the predator becomes the prey by the end of the book, and the hijinks continue. RECOMMENDED."
