Review Quotes

Praise for Mobi Shinobi: Ninja on the Farm: "Colorful digital artwork with an animation aesthetic depicts farm animals and humans alike... Readable rhyming couplets set up the action... Readers should laugh along with the antics, empathize with Farmer Bob's dismay, and cheer in the end when Moby's skills finally come in handy... Amusing and accessible." -- Kirkus Reviews"This is a great easy reader that illustrates that everyone can be helpful in the right situation... The art shows lots of movement and will likely inspire everyone's finest ninja moves... Certain to stealthily jump off the shelves into readers' hands, ninja-style." -- School Library Journal
