Critics Review

Praise for Terry Border’s picture books:

Merry Christmas, Peanut!

“As with Border’s previous books, the real delights come from his carefully and humorously staged scenes.”–Publishers Weekly

“Kids will be mesmerized by Border’s clever photos, which imbue the peanuts with personality and a true sense of action. The message of kindness comes across with no overt religious references. Good nutty fun!”–School Library Journal

Milk Goes to School

“A quirky read-aloud with offbeat humor and fun images that young readers will appreciate. A good choice to address the challenges of making new friends at school.”–School Library Journal

Happy Birthday, Cupcake!


“As in his earlier picture book, Border’s characters are skillfully crafted food items with basic wire limbs arranged in simple landscapes….Preschoolers will be delighted with the visual mayhem.”–Kirkus Reviews

Peanut Butter & Cupcake:

“Border’s witty food comedy will lure children who are hungry for clever visual entertainment.”–Publishers Weekly

”[Z]any creative photographs. [A] read-aloud hit.“–School Library Journal
