Martha Stewart on the Upside Down Animals ® children's picture books:
"They're charming and the children really do love them. I love them. I love the rhyming.They remind me, and they're not at all like Dr. Seuss, but they remind me of Dr. Seuss, the energy that's in these books. And I think that it's wonderful that here we are again with a series of books that will teach as well as amuse, as well as inspire... Each book really does teach a great lesson."
