Glowing Reviews for Teeny Houdini:
"Bright and funny...Bessie Lee is a hilarious, delightfully imperfect narrator, and the family dynamics are kind and true. Proof that the smallest stature can contain a huge imagination and an even bigger heart."
-Booklist
“Teeny Bessie is a big hit….with the flair of Junie B. Jones, playing the precocity card at every turn, while Si’s generous line illustrations glory in the physical mess and tested nerves that trail in Bessie’s wake. Carefully curated vocabulary and repetition make this early chapter book an accessible step-up from easy readers...Expect sequels to be in demand.”
- Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Engaging . . . high energy . . . mischief and mishaps abound . . . Short, episodic chapters move quickly alongside Si’s stylized illustrations of the protagonist’s ethnically inclusive community and domestic life, making Bessie Lee’s forthcoming exploits ones to look forward to.”
