Reviews
Praise for TEN PIGS by Derek Anderson"Anderson combines humor with simple, straightforward rhymes to successfully convey basic counting concepts. The crisp, bold illustrations rendered in ink and Photoshop are all done on bright spreads and include colorful block typeface that match the bouncy, comic tone of the text. The animated cartoon characters exude personality and add to the humor, particularly when the pigs are all featured together in the overcrowded tub. Because of its big, vivid illustrations and rhythmic, sprightly rhymes, this story is ideal for sharing with a group as a read-aloud. The ending, in which it is revealed that the wolf is actually a pig in disguise, is a clever and satisfying conclusion to this funny counting adventure. Pithy and brisk, this book is a solid choice for children learning to count and young readers looking for a good laugh." --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Anderson's joyous, porcine counting rhyme is bathtime (and storytime) fun. His bright-eyed, cartoon porkers, rendered in 'ink, Photoshop and soap suds,' are expressive, goofy and engaging. Toddlers will enjoy this, the cleanest piggy count ever." --KIRKUS REVIEWS

Praise for WAKING DRAGONS by Jane Yolen and illustrated by Derek Anderson
"With cinematic framing, sculptural shapes, a strong sense of physical comedy, and a fittingly medieval palette of saturated jewel tones, Anderson (the Little Quack series) portrays his horned dragons as hulking slugabeds who morph into surprisingly nimble winged beasts." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
