Reviews

Please Please the Bees

“[Please Please the Bees is] funny and thought-provoking, and Kelley’s expressive paintings are sunny and warm.”

Kirkus
Please Please the Bees

“In his authorial debut, illustrator Kelley shows a knack for a wry turn of phrase, an effective economy with character development, and a good sense of textual pacing.”

Kirkus
Grover Cleveland, Again!

“Grover Cleveland, Again!…offers Burns's trademarked accessible, conversational style of history…with Kelley's sweeping art setting a scene for each president and sidebars offering biographical facts along with a couple of telling or simply amusing anecdotes…the effect of the whole is stirring enough to stoke and satisfy curiosity. ”
