Review Quotes

Praise for JUST BEING AUDREY: "Denos' soft pastel illustrations cut just the right Audrey outline (complete with flapping neck scarf), and fans will especially enjoy picking out the movie roles depicted in a two-page spread of costumes."
- Booklist
"Audrey Hepburn proves as irresistible a character in the pages of a children's book as she is in those soigné roles of the silver screen."
- Publishers Weekly
"The joy in the illustrations is palpable, and seeing the many ways dogs help humans will be especially touching to dog lovers.... A solid choice for dog lovers and those who want to better appreciate how dogs help humans." - Kirkus Reviews
"Each image reminds readers of what they love best about their pooches: their tenacity and steadfastness, whether at home or on the job." - Publishers Weekly
"In this entertaining picture book, the skills used in actual jobs done by all kinds of very good dogs--from therapy dog to truffle-sniffing dog to (somewhat alarmingly!) dog mayor--are shown in parallel to the traits that make canines great companions." - Horn Book Magazine
"Charmingly flipping the notion of imagining what dogs may do or feel while their people are away, this playful picture book also provides an entertaining approach to introducing various working dogs and their jobs in an affectionate homage to various contributions to human lives, beyond just being beloved companions. Delightful, vibrant, and boldly outlined illustrations extend the text, depicting an inclusive array of dogs, children, and adults and incorporating amusing details (one building's address is "K9") and sweet moments." - Booklist
