“The cover of The Rhino Keeper is visually striking and manages to balance graphics and imagery that are thematically appropriate to the tone, topic, and time-period of the book with current popular aesthetic trends in the industry. The illustrative elements are colorful yet subdued which ensures the title is the most prominent element of the design. On the back cover, the text is clean, elegant, and easy to read with plenty of breathing room to avoid crowding.”

“Pirate Chickens Under Attack incorporates charming illustrations and small but effective touches throughout. The font is clean and easy to read and choosing to display the onomatopoeia in red is a simple choice that adds a big impact, helping young readers start to understand the process of differentiating stressed words and sounds. The illustrations are charming, and the addition of small pictures in the corners of the text-focused pages supplements the visual storytelling without being overly distracting.”
