Media reviews

"People often take a stab at children's books after reading Goodnight Moon to their own kids and becoming convinced they can do better. But Mr. Forbes hasn't read to his son Miguel in decades. Miguel is in his thirties. Miguel is Forbes's president of television and licensing. It seems Mr. Forbes simply has crazy rhymes going through his head. He'll wake up in the middle of the night, don his special Edward Beiner reading glasses with built-in reading lights, write for a couple of hours, roll over and go back to sleep. 'I write to amuse me,' he said. 'I write stuff I'd like to read.'"--Wall Street Journal profile of Robert Forbes

"Playful rhymes and charmingly intricate illustrations."--Miami Herald

"Chocolate bunnies, crying crocodiles, and fortune-telling seals star in Forbes and Searle's companion to 2007's Beastly Feasts! There's no shortage of offbeat characters (who become even more so in Searle's kinetic cartoons), including a color-changing emu, a well-dressed narwhal ('In the summer he needs no topper--/ His groovy shades are a real show-stopper'), and a photogenic buffalo."--Publishers WeeklyAUTHOR BIO: Robert Forbes serves as the Vice Presidentof the Forbes family business as well as the President of the life style magazine Forbes Life.END
