"[S]tephanie Lisa Tara's writing has such a perfect balance of lightness and depth;the reader sees all creatures, (even snakes) as part of a kind kingdom inhabited with their own native tongue. Her creativity gives the reader treats like French speaking squirrels and a fan favorite in her L-ladybug lingo. "Eet eez mine," the squirrel said in her French accent, which made her angry glare all the more assertive. "Oh mly," said the ladybug. "Ohhhhh mllllly," said several other ladybugs. --Mare Henderson, Teacher, Mom
