The Dutton Writers' Room

OH.MY.GODS by Tera Lynn Childs

“Add the romantic island setting, snappy dialogue, boys as handsome as Adonis, a few conniving (but ultimately harmless) villains and a protagonist who is a hard-core athlete as much as a girl who squeals about the possibility of a date, and together they make an effervescent, fast-paced read.”—Publishers Weekly

COLONIAL VOICES: Hear Them Speak by Kay Winters, illustrated by Larry Day

“Colonial Bostonians introduce themselves through free-verse vignettes that describe their work and their feelings about the current political situation. Winters’s poems flow well… The political sentiments described include Patriots, Loyalists, and some in-between. The watercolor and ink illustrations add humor and drama through shifting perspectives and well-detailed settings full of period details.”—School Library Journal

PLEASE DON’T TEASE TOOTSIE by Margaret Chamberlain

“This playful primer of pet protocol . . .  suggests how to treat animals right… The charming, expressive illustrations, saturated in colors from raspberry to pistachio, are both hilarious and sweet...”—Kirkus Reviews
