Trade ReviewPraise for Dog Number 1, Dog Number 10: "Visually, it's got plenty of pizzazz..." - Kirkus Reviews "...The rhymes alone should be enough for most kids to supply answers, but abundant visual clues in Rubinger's kinetically off-kilter scenes provide additional hints." - Publishers Weekly Praise for Rubinger's I Dream of an Elephant: "This is a beautifully conceived book. The stylized illustrations are a treat for the eyes... this [book] should find a place in most collections." - School Library Journal "Besides learning colors, some repetitive rhyming words and patterns in the poems help our early readers learn to read or guess the words." - Sacramento Book Review "This rhyming picture book features a built-in game. Each spread asks a question which is never answered in the text--children must fill in the answer themselves." - Reading Today Praise for Rubinger's Big Cat, Small Cat: "Israeli cartoonist and creator of children's books Rubinger provides full-bleed, computer-generated landscapes in bold colors...this is a good addition to shelves of concept books." - Kirkus Reviews "This book about opposites introduces a quirky cast of bug-eyed cats... kids should enjoy filling (or shouting) in the answers." - Publishers Weekly "Whether used as a simple read-a-loud, a game, or an introduction to the concept of opposites, this should please many little ones." - Booklist
