David Derrick"If you are looking for a new author to explore in the wake of Read Across America Day, look no further than the wild world of David Derrick. His credentials lie in both the natural world and the animated one, which comes across strongly in his animal stories for children...Derrick is primarily an artist and conservationist, and this comes across heavily in his works for children. I have always been a big advocate of zoos and aquariums for putting people into direct contact with animals that they need to see, understand, and appreciate in order to protect. Derrick manages to accomplish that in stories that leap off the page. These are definitely worth exploring with your budding young adventurers." - GeekMom Sid the Squid

Reviews
"But the crowning work by Immedium, in our humble estimation, is Sid the Squid... A whole book with pictures and illustrations of a squid?! Be still our little three-year-old hearts! Awesome book title. Loved it thoroughly.” - Reading to Know Animals Don't, So I Won't! Summer Reading Recommended Books - Upper Arlington Public Library, Ohio "The animals and their actions are well-chosen for child appeal. Pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor wash combine realistic images with the fantasy of this parent-child game...The clever premise of this well-worked-out story [ Animals Don't, So I Won't!] is likely to appeal as much to adults as to the children they get to share it with." - Kirkus Reviews "Dave loves drawing, and he really loves to draw animals. This little story [I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle!] about a junior crocodile and tiger cub doing their best to out-boast each other is loaded with charm, done with gestural ink line and watercolor wash." - Blackwing Diaries "Besides the awesome illustrations, the book is written very well... Five out of five bookworms for I’m The Scariest Thing In The Jungle!" - This Kid Reviews Books "As an artist myself, I aspire to create illustrations as enchanting as those within the pages of David Derricks stories. I’m sure it not easy find a balance in illustration between a dinosaur looking too ferocious and overly friendly, but the art in Play with Your Food hits the mark perfectly." - Just a Little Creativity Get free Coloring Pages!Download a Lesson Plan |
