Postcards from Camp - Rilegato

"Taback's signature illustrative style is perfect. . . . Share with kids before and after camp—newbies will be astonished at how typical Michael's experience is; seasoned campers (and their parents) will laugh all the way through." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Drawings, collage elements, real envelopes, and removable letters creating a work of art that readers will want to pore over. Including plenty of puns, the book has reluctant-reader appeal. . . . Showcasing Taback's colorful frenetic style and inherent humor." — School Library Journal

"Those nervous about camp will relate to Michael's hyperbolic anxieties while treasuring his father's reassurances and good humor." — Publishers Weekly
