Reviews

Midwest Book Review - "The Bramble Thicket offers an engaging narrative for children ready to progress from picture books to more complex reading titles. The story follows eight rainbow-colored, friendly bears searching for a new home after losing their old one to a forest fire. When they discover a "girl with wheels" lost in the forest, they take on one obstacle after another to help her return home. The Bramble Thicket is filled with adventure, colorful and gentle paintings by James Seward, and a positive, uplifting message about help and kindness."

The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Reviewer, Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor - “Here is a storybook of yesteryear - one that is timeless and inspiring. It is beautifully written, adventurous, and spurs on imagination, learning, and wonder with each chapter. Character issues like teamwork, kindness, respect for others, honesty, determination, safety, and manners are woven throughout the story.”
