The Magical Yet

Praise for The Curious Why:

An Amazon Best Book of the Month for Ages 6-8
"DiTerlizzi offers youngsters an upbeat, sensible cure for a serious case of the blahs.... Readers will love the colorful, energetic, swirling digital illustrations, especially those dinos.... Fun, cheery, and entertaining: just the ticket for the perennially inquisitive—or perpetually bored."
Kirkus Reviews
"A richly colored paean to the pleasures of interest and inquiry.... Its positive message will be welcomed in many educational settings."
School Library Journal
Praise for The Magical Yet:

A New York Times Bestseller
A USA Today Bestseller
An Illinois Monarch Award Master List Book
"With splashy artwork and catchy rhymes, the creators give families and educators a tool that spurs kids on to success."
Publishers Weekly
"The depictions of difficult situations, such as learning to ride a bike, learning to dance, or practicing painting, are sure to strike a chord with children struggling to pick up something new, and the positive outcomes brought on by practice and perseverance are sure to inspire readers to never give up. A lovely addition to picture book collections."
Booklist
"The artwork is powerful and detailed....A solid if message-driven conversation starter about the hard parts of learning."
