Review

Praise for Santa Shark: A Great White Christmas: "An ocean of delights awaits readers in this sea-lebration. Kids will fin-ish quickly and clam-or for more." -- Kirkus Reviews"A shark named Edgar and crab bestie Lotta prep for Santa Shark's arrival in this goofy comic whose underwater setting proves ready made for abundant punning... all loosely inked in Lowery's characteristic style." -- Publishers WeeklyPraise for Out in the Wild!: A Graphix Chapters Book (Bug Scouts #1): * "With swarms of goofy jokes and adorable characters, the brief chapters fly by. Readers will most certainly be willing to affirm the first line of the Official Bug Scout Oath: 'All bugs are awesome and that is a fact.'" -- Publishers Weekly, starred reviewPraise for Everything Awesome About Sharks and Other Underwater Creatures: "An immersive dunk into a vast subject -- and on course for shorter attention spans." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Everything Awesome About Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Beasts: * "Lowery sandwiches a populous parade of very simply drawn dinos between a history of prehistory and a roundup of diverse topics... readers will come away with a fairly sound understanding of just how dinosaurs fit into the whole history of life on this planet... A manic but solid series kickoff." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewPraise for Mac Undercover (Mac B., Kid Spy #1), illustrated by Mike Lowery: A New York Times bestseller!An Amazon Best Book of 2018"Lowery's cartoony spot art, in black, green, and orange, provides additional historical and cultural information and frequently supports the narrative." -- The Horn Book"Barnett and Lowery team up again in this second outing of international espionage mystery with royal overtones... this is a nifty mystery for young readers and a worthy sequel to the first." -- Kirkus Reviews* "Barnett and Lowery bring the funny to the serious art of espionage in a perfect interplay of text and illustration... Told with a sense of nostalgia for 1980s history and pop culture, the silliness and originality of this book will hook young readers." -- School Library Journal, starred review
