Reviews

"[A]n all-dialogue early reader that cleverly builds on a concept while tapping into readers' passion for categorization. Foam-stamped, digitally finished illustrations, set against minimalist backgrounds, introduce four critters of varying size and color . . . Welcoming and unabashedly appreciative of each other's talents--and new readers' needs--the critters model the kind of club that anyone would be happy to join."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"[A]n engaging read . . . If you find yourself giggling at this goofy story, join the club."
--Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio

Jarrett & Jerome Pumphrey are brothers and award-winning authors and illustrators.

The brothers have been making club signs together ever since their very first club, which they were forced to start with their two other brothers: the Mom-Said-Either-We're-All-In-The-Club-Or-There's-No-Club Club. Jarrett lives with his family in Austin, Texas. Jerome lives with his family in Clearwater, Florida. (All the brothers are still in the club.)
