Praise for THE KISS BOX
-Amazon.com Book of the Year
-An Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award Winner "Debut picture-book
author Verburg structures the story, inspired by her personal
experience, with a steady, soothing pace. Cole complements the
language beautifully with watercolor and colored-pencil
illustrations evoking the classic joys of childhood. . . . Similar
in subject matter to Audrey Penn's THE KISSING HAND, illustrated by
Ruth E. Harper and Nancy M. Leak (1993), but a whole lot more
artful, this fresh take will motivate younger children to create
boxes of their own."--KIRKUS REVIEWS "Verburg handles her
emotionally freighted material (based on personal experience,
according to the endnote) with a light, patient touch, giving
Little Bear's qualms their full due before introducing his
solution."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Praise for the How Do Dinosaurs books

rhythm, and . . . the art's buttoned-up 1950s fashions and
furnishings provide a comical visual contrast to the outlandish,
brightly colored dinosaurs."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
