Review

"Goode's pen-and-ink, watercolor, gouache, and pastel illustrations emphasize relationships and emotions . . . A delightful look at a what-if all children have considered, if not acted upon."―Kirkus Reviews

"Surrisi’s concise writing explores this universal theme in a fresh way . . . Goode’s recognizable pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor, gouache, and pastel suit the humorous and heartfelt story."―School Library Journal

    DIANE GOODE has illustrated over 60 beloved and critically acclaimed picture books, including the NY Times Best Sellers FOUNDING MOTHERS and the Caldecott Honor Book, WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN THE MOUNTAINS. dianegoode.com

    From the critics:

    Kirkus (*starred review): "Goode's illustrations are often breathtaking." FOUNDING MOTHERS, Cokie Roberts & Diane Goode

    Publisher's Weekly: "...her ink lines are the very definition of verve, her sense of comic detailing is faultless." BUT I WANTED A BABY BROTHER, Kate Feiffer & Diane Goode

    Betsy Bird: "Alligator Boy" is small and quiet and supremely sublime." Cynthia Rylant & Diane Goode

    The New York Times: "Diane Goode's pen-and-ink drawings spin out like ragtime, each squiggle denoting a rustle of silk or a whoop or whisper." THANKSGIVING IS HERE!, Diane Goode

    Kirkus (* starred review) :"Goode has transformed this 19th-century etiquette primer into a degustatory romp... Look carefully at every spread so as not to miss a crumb of this delicious humor." MIND YOUR MANNERS, Diane Goode

    Booklist: "Exquisitely drawn yet always centered on its two pint-size heroines, the book shows off the sophistication of Paris and juxtaposes it with the broad comedy of pratfalls and flying pastry. The result is as delectable as the pink birthday cake." MAMA'S PERFECT PRESENT, Diane Goode
