Critics Review

Praise for Can Do Books:“Will definitely leave readers rolling in the aisle [with laughter, while offering] important lessons for younger riders to chew on, with a deliciously gross twist for a capper.” —Kirkus (Take the Bus)“Silly [and] funny … A great way to calm anxious new students who may have nervous feelings about riding the bus, along with confronting other new things.” —School Library Journal (Take the Bus)“Mike Boldt has crafted an amazingly fun and entertaining world, featuring two of the most charismatic characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I cannot wait for more Can Do.” —Dan Santat, award-wining author and illustrator of Beekle and A First Time for Everything“I never thought I’d want to be friends with fruit, but Mike Boldt has changed my mind. These stories are relatable, fun, and full of kid energy. I can’t wait to see what they do next!” —Ryan T. Higgins, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Mother Bruce series“Will have readers contorted in laughter [as they explore] growth mindset, the value of making mistakes, practice, and persevering through challenges with good humor… . Boldt has hit comic paydirt with this hilarious read-aloud.” —School Library Journal (Ride a Bike)“Light and airy as its banter … A delectable depiction of a fruitful relationship.” —Kirkus (Ride a Bike)“Rapid repartee in dialogue balloons drives the cheery shtick [in this story] about the fun of working together. A lip-smacking recipe for productive collaboration.” —Kirkus (Bake a Cake)
