More praise for Justin Time"Highly Recommended: Brandon Scott is the creator, author and illustrator of the series. His lively pictures complement the story and add humour on every page. Scott does particularly well at showing feelings through the facial expressions on his characters. Books based on popular TV series are always a favourite for young children. The Justin Time books offer an interesting addition to any child's or school library." - CM Magazine "This is a pleasant story with entertaining illustrations that capture the animated style and the sense of India." - Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's Literature/Media "My daughter recommends this book for any child who loves animals, especially elephants. The pink elephant is large and cute; the illustration catches your attention quickly. The vibrant illustrations complement the story line perfectly. The large font is nicely placed on the pages with the right amount of words per page. I like the sound effects included in the story, it brings the characters to life." - A Mom's Point of View |

"This is a good book to address the desire almost every child has for a pet. Through his bright illustrations, Scott successfully shows how much work a pet can be. While it may not deter your child from begging for a new animal, it is a good way to prepare him for the work that is involved, especially if the animal is going to be 'his responsibility.'"
- Big Reads for Little Hands "The animation is wonderful, almost like one of Mary Poppins' chalk paintings coming to life, and perfectly suited to this imaginative tale. The composition of the story is fun...
