Reviews

Goodreads review by Nancy

Burach is one of my favourite author/illustrators. I really enjoyed the 2 books in the Butterfly series and know they will be a hit with kids at my school story times. While my favourite will probably always be "There is a giraffe in my soup", I'd highly recommend these as well. Tons of fun but stil......more

Goodreads review by Barbara

Those who met the very impatient caterpillar in the author's previous book will enjoy this picture book equally as much.

Goodreads review by Élise

Un album jeunesse mixé à un petit documentaire sur la migration d'un papillon un peu névrosé qui a de la difficulté à croire en lui. Une baleine lui fait un pep talk et elle réussi à motiver le papillon. Très cute et instructif. À lire avec une intonation absolument!......more


Quotes

Praise for The Little Butterfly That Could:"Will elicit plenty of giggles, and sly pictorial details will keep a broad range of readers happy during rereads." -- Kirkus Reviews​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Praise for The Very Impatient Caterpillar:​​​​​​​"Will delight fans of Mo Willems's 'Pigeon' series... absolutely charming." -- School Library Journal​​​​​​​* "A good choice for read aloud[s]... There's definitely some science lurking here among the laughs, and preschool and primary classrooms can jumpstart the life cycle units with this super-charged title." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review​​​​​​​"Burach chronicles this miracle of nature in cartoon scenes as loud as the rapid patter... It won't be just adults chuckling at the interactions between the title character and its patiently pupating companions." -- Kirkus Reviews"Burach's mixed-media digital artwork makes good use of the cartoon style to depict vibrantly colored caterpillars and the protagonist's overwrought emotions. Particularly humorous are the spot drawings showing the inside of the chrysalis, in which he rails against the measured pace of nature... a good choice for science edutainment." -- Booklist​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Praise for Truck Full of Ducks:​​​​​​​"Burach will have readers quacking up, both with the frequent repetition of the title -- 'Did you call for a truck full of ducks?' is a funny line no matter how often it's read or heard -- and over the illustrations... Sight gags and side comments in the pictures add further yuks to this ducky delight." -- Booklist​​​​​​​"Children will delight in the extreme silliness of this story and will repeatedly pore over the detailed, colorful, and quirky illustrations." -- School Library Journal​​​​​​​"Burach tells his story entirely through dialogue, packing it -- and his exuberant, crayon-like digital illustrations -- with visual jokes [and] an abundance of funny details to discover in each scene." -- Publishers Weekly​​​​​​​​​​​"Silly details decorate every spread... Storytime audiences will quack up." -- Kirkus Reviews​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Praise for Billy Bloo Is Stuck in Goo, illustrated by Ross Burach:​​​​​​​​​2018 CBC Children's Choice Book Awards Finalist​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"Begs to be read aloud... Gleeful, errant nonsense." -- Kirkus Reviews​​​​​​​"Plenty to linger (and laugh) over." -- Publishers Weekly​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"Lots of giggles and goo, and weird characters too, in this rhyming cumulative storytime read-aloud, make this title a must-have for picture book collections." -- School Library Journal
