Horn Book Guide Review 'o the Day

From a forthcoming review of A Promise Is a Promise, by Krister and Eve Tharlet:

When Bruno, a blanket-toting marmot, awakens from hibernation, he befriends a dandelion. After days of playing together, the dandelion asks Bruno to blow on her, promising that "everything will be just fine."


I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Sigh...that's for all of those, yet to be published or not being published, who have amazing stories to tell.

I'd like to know how the hell you'd play with a dandelion.

Dandelion: I know! Let's play Photosynthesis!

Wouldn't a marmot just eat the dandelion? After first destroying the garden, of course.

Not a blanket-toting marmot...

And I bet the dandelion plays a mean game of freeze tag.

At least it's not a gun-toting marmot, like the locals.

(But 'round here, we call 'em groundhogs.)
