""I shared this series with my 2nd grade class and was delighted with the response! I read one book a week, per library session. Though it took three weeks, the class eagerly awaited each new story. They were very excited to return to the Salty Splashes adventures each week. The story itself was exciting and sweet. They very much enjoyed watching the character's relationships grow through their shared journey. The illustrations were bright, beautifully done and colorful! They added wonderfully to the story line. I highly recommend this series as an addition to any elementary school library!"" Sally Ingle, Imperial Elementary School, Anaheim, CA 5/23/13
""I really like Isle of Mystery. I loved all the carictors [sic]. It was like the book came to life...Sammy was my favorite because I love dogs and he was verry [sic] brave...he is so cute and he brings adventure in the book. We read it aloud and it was fun...the book was great I would see the book in a 3D animated movie."" Abby, 11, Washington
