Some excerpts of recent praise:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the rhythmic verse and clever illustrations in [Dreamy Drums, Trouble In Paradise]. Preschool and school-aged children will love this colorful and fun story. The characters are well-defined and capture the heart of the reader from the first page. This story will keep children actively engaged and captivated as they follow the adventures of these adorable characters. I give this book 5 STARS -- EXCELLENT book!" Janice Spina, Jemsbooks, 3/21/13

"Let me list what I like about [these books]: They're adventure stories, but not too scary for younger kids; they rhyme in a natural, not forced, way; they are an actual series, and you all know that I love series; the characters are all animals and, oftentimes, unlikely friends; they bring in new friends in each book; they are kids who will be kids, so real kids can relate to them; the illustrations are hand-drawn, very colorful, and super neat. [Children's Illustrated Fiction] is a very cool concept and [these books] are done really well. I will definitely be reading these books to my grandkids. Count me among J.Z.'s fans!" Lloyd Russell, The Book Sage, 4/16/13

"Bingham's whimsical adventure stories set the stage for a new genre of children's literature by bridging the gap between juvenile picture books and young reader novels. Sammy and his unconventionally charming family, set against the lush backdrop of California's Central Coast, offers the reader a look into the rich dynamics of conflict and unconditional love we associate with family life. With vibrant illustrations, animal characters, and clever humor, Bingham's Salty Splashes Collection is sure to bring home laughter and excitement. Most notably, young readers will be reminded of the importance of teamwork and acceptance." Stella Perry, English Major and Goodreads Reviewer, 5/1/13

"Your books were an absolutely fabulous surprise! I wish I could have taken time to read all three at once, but one was sufficient to see the quality of the finished product. It felt good in the hands and was wonderful on the tongue. These will be an enjoyable experience to share with many children." Lorraine J., Elementary School Teacher, 4/17/13

"Gansevort, The King and His Court, was my favorite book because it had a lot of action and you were always thirsty to turn the page and know what's going to happen next. Kat is my favorite character because she is confident and very knowledgable, and a risk-taker." Yasmin S., 11 year-old fan

"My son can't choose his favorite one. He likes them all. They're very special books. You should be very proud!" Maryam, mother of 9-yr-old Adham

"We read Dreamy Drums every night. It's the only book my son wants to read. He fell in love with Kat." Gabby, mother of 4 yr-old Johann

"I read Isle of Mystery to my girls last night and I couldn't believe they didn't fidget. They stared and were all ears. Your rhyme flowed like butter." Rosetta, mother of 6 and 9 yr-old girls
