What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for The Amazing Augustus:“Gregory’s digitally edited multimedia illustrations burst with color and humor in the details….The depictions of the lion’s discomfort and oversize burp are especially impressive. A giggly exploration of the senses, with a dash of bodily humor.”—Kirkus Reviews
