Leslie Patricelli is the creator of a series of best-selling board books starring her adorable bald baby. She is also the author-illustrator of two picture books about the Patterson Puppies as well as Higher! Higher!, a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor winner. She lives in Ketchum, Idaho.
There's an abundance of sly humor in Patricelli's comfortably
rounded, bold-hued acrylic illustrations-she outdoes herself with a
multi-panel spread including the protagonist sitting, naked, on the
tiny toilet perusing a potty-training manual. Add to this the
books' brief, child-friendly texts, and Tubby and Potty join the
elite club of board books that toddlers will want to hear over and
over again-and parents won't mind
—The Horn Book
A cheerful declaration of independence, this refreshing treatment
allows toddlers to imagine a successful future. Parents will know
it's not that easy, but they will enjoy the humor that accompanies
this heaping helping of positive reinforcement.
—Kirkus Reviews
Minimalist compositions, thickly and shaggily outlined against
bright, monochromatic backgrounds, should convince tykes of either
gender that the bathroom is a kingdom they'll want to rule
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
These appealing books feature simple text, bright acrylic
illustrations, and everyday situations that are certain to engage
the very young.
—School Library Journal
