Reviews:

"Things that go, a cat to find, cheerful colors, and slight text make a board book that will engage young readers. Surprisingly complex scenes created entirely from clay show off a variety of wheeled vehicles: a train, a farm tractor, construction equipment, race cars, a fire truck, and a school bus.... Young children will be happy to find this feline and his wheels again and again." -Kirkus Reviews

“I loved Walter's Wheels because I always like to try and imagine what adventures my dog Clyde might be having while I'm hard at work. Yet he's always there for me [just like Walter] when I come home. ” - Jennifer Green-- Owner, Green Bean Books, Portland, OR.

"This rhyming story holds plenty of appeal for young readers. Walter the cat is interested in all things wheels and his imagination takes the reader on a journey to a farm, a construction site and a parade among other things. Children will enjoy searching the clay illustrations to find Walter in each scene." - Sarah Carrier--Children's Librarian, Cincinnati Public Library, Cincinnati, OH.

“This adorable rhyming story in board book form is perfect for toddlers! The illustrations are fun and simple, and the story is short and sweet.” - Laura Shaver -- www.thesimplemoms.com.
