Praise for Don't Eat Bees

Select praise for Dev Petty and Mike Boldt:
 
I Don't Want to Be a Frog

There's Nothing to Do!
* "Reading this book belongs on families' to-do lists."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
 
I Don't Want to Be Big
"Reminiscent of Mo Willems's 'Elephant and Piggie' series."—Publishers Weekly

I Don't Want to Go to Sleep
"Silliness abounds . . . a fun read-aloud."—Kirkus
 
Bad Dog
