Pip's Trip 2012. ISBN: 0803737084 The economy and humor of the text combined with a lovely message make this book a winner. -- Starred review, School Library Journal The Loopy Coop Hens, 20118 ISBN:0525421904 Personality, emotion, humor, story—all fairly leap from the flat acrylic double-page spreads. The hens’ unconditional big love for Rooster Sam is both funny and sweet, and the “nobody’s perfect” message is delivered with a light hand. Still, readers will giggle (along with Midge, Pip, and Dot) when at book’s end the adulated Sam, strutting for the ladies, trips over a stick. -- Horn Book It's Library Day 2008. ISBN: 978-0525479444 Rhyming text -- in a large font suitable for emergent readers -- and colorful illustrations nicely tell this clear, straightforward story. -- Kirkus Minerva Louise on Christmas Eve, 2007, ISBN:0525478574 Even small listeners can enjoy the mistakes Minerva Louise, a hen, is making as she sizes up Christmas. Up on the rooftop? Goats, "And the goats have put on their fanciest horns for the party." Minerva may not know from reindeer, but her happiness is larger than the limits of her database. -- Chicago Tribune Bus Stop, 2007, ISBN:0525478051 The quiet cheerfulness of the characters' expressions and body language will help calm readers' fears about their own first school-bus-riding experiences. With short, rhythmic phrases and clean, simple artwork, this picture book accomplishes what it sets out to do. -- Booklist Minerva Louise and the Colorful Eggs, 2006 ISBN: 0-525-47633-4 "Stoeke`s charmingly naïve chicken`s Easter story is, perhaps, her best yet. This will be a staple of spring storytimes for years to come. Where she has her fans, multiple copies will be a must.." --Kirkus Reviews Waiting for May, 2005 ISBN: 0-525-47098-0 This book is just wonderful. It is a great preparation for any child who is waiting for a sibling to be adopted. It is a heart-warming story that talks about the adoption process, the waiting, and the emotions that go along with it, from a child's perspective. This book is uplifting, sweet, and really gives a waiting sibling an idea of what to expect throughout the process of adoption. I highly recommend it! -- Adoptive Mom Minerva Louise, 1988 ISBN: 0-525-443746 “Perfect for preschool storytime.” —Kirkus Reviews A Hat for Minerva Louise, 1994 ISBN: 0-140-55666-4 “A rare find . . . exactly on target for Preschoolers.” —The Horn Book.
