Review:

“Would that every kid had an imagination like Livi's so that getting ready for school was always this much fun.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Livi's vibrant imagination and abundant energy leap off the pages.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Full of vivid color, expressiveness, and humor. Readers who found Livi's earlier adventures hilarious, will most likely enjoy her latest stalling tactics.” ―School Library Journal

“Sure to be a crowd-pleaser in story times, classrooms, and laps everywhere.” ―School Library Journal for On My Way to the Bath

“The precocious, emphatic narration and escalating back-and-forth between Livi and her mother will enliven any read-aloud. There are plenty of books on the shelf covering kids' reluctance to get into the bathtub, but Maizes, making an assured debut, and Paraskevas suggest there's room for one more.” ―Publishers Weekly for On My Way to the Bath

“Readers will be thrilled with the ending.” ―Kirkus Reviews for On My Way to the Bath

“The queen of stalling tactics in On My Way to the Bath returns to delay another daily ritual with imagination and pizzazz. Children will enjoy the humor in the pictures as much as the text. Adults will smile at this fun exaggeration of the familiar nighttime battle. Great for one-on-one or group sharing, this book is a solid purchase.” ―School Library Journal for On My Way to Bed
