HUGE was a delight to read! It made me laugh; plus it's educational. The illustrations are exquisite! I love the artist's detailed artwork.

The rhyming in your new book, Jericho Jim, is infectious and could be put to music. The message comes through, ending with dancing with "a lighthearted swirl" and "a heartwarming twirl". Sure to be enjoyed by children and their parents.

Thank you for sharing your POOH script. The story is a delight and the humor is refreshing. The script is easy to read and flows very well. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

This is a great book to use when a child has that very common fear of scary things . . . a scary theme made warm and friendly. The colors of the illustrations seem to soften the scary scene and draws you into the story

Mark A. Clarke is nothing if not a storyteller. I’ve had the privilege of listening to tales from his glory days on countless occasions and always left our interactions entertained and enlightened.

"an evergreen picture-book theme" ". . . focuses on the sheer pleasure a child takes in playing with his favorite toy" "the border-to-border watercolor illustrations are vibrant, featuring fun details for children to spot."

Kirkus Reviews

Clarke's ability to evoke the transcendent qualities in ordinary moments is a hallmark of this collection. . . An entertaining set of vignettes chronicling an endearing, close-net community.

It is an engaging story of determination that keeps the reader's interest. Rich in vocabulary and offers many offshoot learning opportunities (where is Tunisia). The book stirs the imagination and is beautifully illustrated, using vibrant colors!
