NOTHING

"Whether enjoying this Zen-like book for the wacky conceit or the consumer critique, readers will readily recognize that the emperor has no clothes; this timely parable is certainly "something" worth having."

Starred/ Publishers Weekly

TERRIFIC

"Glass-half empty Eugene is stranded on an island with a parrot: " 'Terrific . . .What good is a parrot?' 'You'd be surprised,' said the parrot." Readers will be surprised, too, for TERRIFIC is one terrific book. Agee uses tone, pacing, and deadpan humor to great effect; his masterful illustrations beg to be shared with a group."

Starred/ The Horn Book

Z GOES HOME

"Agee serves up a witty, stylish abecedary that is deceptive in its simplicity . . . a deliciously silly trek homeward as Z crosses paths with some odd creatures in equally odd places. As in many of Agee's books, there's a clever surprise waiting for readers on the final page."

Starred/ Publishers Weekly

ELLSWORTH

"In this lighthearted gem, Ellsworth, a dog, is fired from his post as economics professor for acting on his canine instincts.

Ellsworth is so full of life in joy or woe that he is irresistible."
