Praise for DRAGONS AND MARSHMALLOWS (Zoey and Sassafras, Book
1):
"Concepts are explained concisely and clearly, and a short glossary
provides valuable vocabulary building. The slightly larger font
makes the text inviting for emerging readers, and the illustrations
blend perfectly into the story. Sassafras and the dragon prove to
be able sidekicks in the vein of Disney characters...while this
book is a natural fit for STEM collections, it deserves a place in
all libraries serving young readers." -- School Library Journal
"...Citro gracefully balances her story’s scientific and fantasy
elements." -- Publishers Weekly
"...the imaginative premise and the incorporation of STEM elements
make this an attractive and engaging choice." -- Booklist
"...tales for young audiences that model the scientific method are
nice to see." -- Kirkus Reviews
"...a delightful beginning reader. I will definitely recommend this
to kids and I look forward to the other books in this series." --
Mel Barnes, University Bookstore
"Zoey and Sassafras are our heroes! My kids love unravelling their
mysterious circumstance, and they even made their own "thinking
goggles." Zoey is an awesome role model." -- Megan Lingo, Reading
Teacher and Educational Therapist at Chickadee Lit
