"Equally charming and informative."-- Booklist "[The activists'] stories offer inspiration as well as memorable moments. A broadly diverse roster of role models."-- Kirkus Reviews "In accessible but never patronizing prose, [Stevenson] sketches the stories of her subjects' childhoods, deftly setting the scene for each one and providing informative details, engaging quotes, and sometimes humorous anecdotes."-- Mombian Praise for Kid Authors by David Stabler: "Lively glimpses of formative moments and budding talents."-- Kirkus Reviews "A fun and useful addition, especially for aspiring writers and class projects."-- School Library Journal , Paige Rowse, Needham High School, MA "This is an ideal gift for aspiring young writers who may need proof that even the most famous authors had to start somewhere."-- Shelf Awareness for Readers "[ Kid Authors ] was full of real information, but the author made it fun and funny...I would recommend this book for all people who read books and want to know interesting information about authors, and also for people who want to be authors themselves."--Michael, age 9 Praise for Kid Presidents by David Stabler : "Just like history class, only hilarious."--Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever "With cartoonish illustrations that will attract fans of Jeff Kinney's The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Rachel Renée Russell's The Dork Diaries , this informative offering leaves no presidential childhood rock unturned."-- School Library Journal "Caricatures by Horner are whimsical and funny, a good match for a book that demonstrates that every president started life as a goofy, regular kid."-- Booklist Praise for Kid Artists by David Stabler: "Impressively diverse."-- Booklist "For budding artists, here's a heartening reminder that 17 unconventional greats--not to mention all the rest--started out as children too."-- Kirkus Reviews "Memorably weird childhood moments--Jackson Pollock accidentally had part of a finger chopped off and then eaten by a rooster--are likely to stick with readers, as will Horner's impish cartoons."-- Publishers Weekly Praise for Kid Athletes by David Stabler: "Outstanding...Inspiring and entertaining, Kid Athletes isn't just for sports fans."-- Booklist , starred review "Even if you don't exactly love sports, this book only says a little bit about them in the actual sport, so go out and get this book because it will teach you a lot and you will enjoy it immensely."--Kidsday reporters, Newsday "Perfect for the adolescent set, these inspiring stories mix fun and non-fiction."-- Geeks of Doom, "[The activists'] stories offer inspiration as well as memorable moments.
