Praise for Surf's Up! (Moby Shinobi and Toby Too! #1):"Sand, sun, and surf provide a jovial backdrop to ninja Moby Shinobi's latest adventures, presented here in this graphic format after five more-conventional early-reader outings... Bold illustrations layered with bright colors and textures are combined with oversized cartoon facial features. The combo heightens the lively plot, especially during the monosyllabic action sequences in each vignette: "TWIRL! / TOSS! / BOINK! / PLOP!" ... A high-interest venture for the early-reader audience." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Ninja on the Farm (Mobi Shinobi):"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
