Goo and Spot and the Shiny Five Star Review

Posted on 31 March, 2014 by elsa Posted in Uncategorized .

Goo and Spot received a wonderful review from Readers Favorite.

A piece of the review by Mamta Madhavan

“Children’s books always have to be colorful and attractive to capture their attention. This book is tops in all those aspects and leaves young readers feeling happy and contented. I would recommend this book to be kept in all children’s and school libraries. Many concepts are brought together in an interesting way. The rhyme scheme and the riddles make children think and observe their surroundings and give them the freedom to use words in a better way.”

Book review of Goo and Spot in the Do Not Wiggle Riddle – Readers’ Favorite: Book Reviews and Award Contest
If you are an author I highly recommend submitting your book Book Reviews – Readers’ Favorite: Book Reviews and Award Contest
I was very surprised to get a review two weeks after I submitted a request for their free review which can take up to three months. The great thing about their reviews is that they will only post 4 and 5 star reviews and promote them on their social media. If your book receives less than a four star review, they are known to at times send constructive criticism in a private e-mail to the author, win-win WOW!

I encourage you to send in your book.

Free Color Printables for your little ones

Posted on 4 March, 2014 by elsa Posted in Uncategorized .

Hi!

These are two of my favorite illustrations in Goo and Spot in The Do Not Wiggle Riddle

The animal parade illustration was the first illustration Catherine and I worked on , the detail is amazing. The little girl holding the “maracas” wearing the dress with the heart in the center is a character sketched after my own little girl-Yumi. Yumi, appears in the book several times, in fact each character was inspired by real children to add diversity and personality.

The ‘jumping in puddles’ illustration is my absolute favorite. Catherine is now a storyboard revisionist for Dreamworks and her job includes sketching and sequencing animation shots. This is her strength as an artist visualizing and replicating movement.

Thank you for stopping by!
