Review
"I dare you to try to read The Snatchabook silently to yourself. You can't do it. The book is so wonderful it demands to be read out loud. And besides, if you didn't read the book out loud, how would the Snatchabook hear it?" - Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick
"[A] rollicking paean to the pleasures of reading aloud. " - The Wall Street Journal
"With rhyming text reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's work, this book refuses to be read silently. . . The gorgeous illustrations are a perfect match for the lively text. This book is a fabulous fit for both storytime and one-on-one reading. Children will be begging for this book to be read to them every night–clever ones will claim they want to keep the Snatchabook happy." - School Library Journal
"The husband-and-wife team of the Dochertys have a winner in this heartwarming tribute to the essential role of bedtime reading in the lives of families." - Publishers Weekly
"This ever-so-sweet story begs to be read out loud. The beautifully lit illustrations are full of fun details that are sure to please little kids, and each creature, from owl to squirrel, is cute as cute can be. No doubt this one will be a hit with kids and parents alike." - Booklist
"This whodunit with an uplifting ending will appeal to fans of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!... Children will revel in the message that bedtime reading is a ritual to be revered and will forgive the Snatchabook for his wish to share in it.
