Children's books by Kate Feiffer
STARRED REVIEW in Publisher's Weekly. "Kate Feiffer, who last collaborated with her father on My Side of the Car, has written the perfect go-to book for the go-to-sleep impaired. With its lulling tone and gentle, comic cajoling, it has nightly must-read written all over it. Jules Feiffer’s legendary ink lines beautifully capture a nascent human in all his lumpy discontent."
"A clever, funny addition to the bedtime-book shelf." - Kirkus Review Publication date March 6th. Stay tuned for the No Go Sleep trailer.

Publishers Weekly "Young readers will savor this rollicking adventure that eventually brings a family together on a street that perhaps belongs in our nation's capital: Compromise Road." -Deborah Hokinson, BookPage "The Problem with the Puddles is a blast from first page to last.

FINALLY!
The book that finally answers the age-old question: What's the baby doing? Emily and Gus are counting down the days until they can finally meet their new brother (or sister!). It's not easy to be patient. What does the baby do all day anyway? Mom always says the baby is eating...or sleeping...or kicking. Mom sure would be surprised if she knew what was really going on. This baby is having some great adventures! "As a Pediatrician people often ask me how best to prepare their current children for a new baby. This is it. For kids it's all about fun and mystery and wonder. This book will help children get excited about their baby brothers and sisters. Worry about the details later. Get it for anyone expecting. - Dr. Jack Lavalette (amazon.com review)
A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD PREMIER SELECTION!
There's something about children's books that feature dogs that just tear at my heart. I'm way past reading these books age-wise, but I doubt I'll ever get past that point emotion-wise. "Henry, the Dog with No Tail" is just such a book. If you love dogs, you've probably talked about their tails (long and fluffy, short and stumpy?), so when Henry goes to the tail-or to get a new tail, you'll have to laugh. Oh, I mean the kids will. By the father-daughter team of Kate and Jules Feiffer, who live on Martha's Vineyard, the book features Jules' quintessential drawings. -By Melanie Lauwers, Books editor, The Cape Cod Times

"Jules Feiffer makes fine use of his trademark curls and swirls of the pen, filling the pages to overflowing with a cornucopia of prospective pups. Against a white backdrop the pictures and words tumble over one another like dogs at play." -Elizabeth Bird, The New York Times "Teachers and parents may find Which Puppy? a great spring board to discuss current events on a level the child can understand." -Altar Boy "Pax Vobis" Amazon.com review
"This clever cautionary tale is nothing short of spectacular." -School Library Journal "An excellent choice for reading aloud." -Booklist "When thinking of outstanding pairs a number of dynamite duos come to mind - Rogers and Hart, Stanley and Livingstone, Fred and Ginger, Holmes and Watson, lox and bagels? Seriously, in the world of children's literature Feiffer and Goode certainly top the list." -Gail Cooke reviewer/blogger "A warm-hearted and witty story that will bring families together whether or not they are expecting a new baby." -Kirkus Reviews A 2010 Jewish Book Club selection INTERESTED IN A SCHOOL VISIT?
