Praise for The Nocturnals Grow & Read Series "The book hits the right notes--the story, the language, the chapter breaks at just the right time, the design. And the illustrations! Sweet, characterful. What kid doesn't want to be part of this friendship."--Lauren Wohl, MLS, author of several children's books including A Teeny Tiny Halloween "I love this. Just the right length. I'm so glad the animals are described at the end of the book, and the Fun Facts will surely send readers searching for more information. GREAT!!!!" --Pat Scales, Booklinks contributor, and retired school librarian "Told simply using a beginning reader format, sentences are short and structured and action is limited. Liberal use of artwork by Waymond Singleton supplants description and allows Hecht and Dowling to move the story ahead using dialog. Artwork is dark and at times muddy looking reminding the reader that the story is set at night. Singleton's efforts at linking the "look" for the three friends with the artwork in the fictional series is good. The first in the Grow & Read Series, this one is a strong blend of reading sight words and decoding using phonics--very useful as a beginning reader." --Stephanie Bange, Educational Resource Center Director, Wright State University, Praise for The Nocturnals Grow & Read Series "This banter-filled early reader describes the initial meeting between shy Tobin the pangolin, brash Bismark the sugar glider, and kindhearted Dawn the fox...the pared-down narration and dialogue quickly establish their personalities...Hecht and Dowling successfully set the stage for more adventurous outings down the road." --Publishers Weekly "[The Slithery Shakedown] does not disappoint... This tale uses plenty of important vocabulary words, easily decipherable within context, while showing how friends who stick together can facedown even the meanest bully... Vivid illustrations pop off crisp white pages... This successful endeavor manages to maintain the spirit of the original series while showing respect for new devotees." --Booklist "This beginning reader does a good job of addressing the idea of being afraid and being brave...The illustrations have a charming folk art-like quality that may appeal to fans of animal picture books. Because the events all take place at night, the palette is an unusual teal-based one that is quite attractive."--YA Books Central "The Slithery Shakedown is a quirky, humorous book great for beginner readers, with fun illustrations. I love how the story takes three completely different types of animals--a pangolin, a sugar glider, and a red fox--and puts them together in a tight friendship. A friendship that even ahs them all standing up to a bully snake. A great bonus at the end of the books is the fun facts about nocturnal animals. This description of the animals helps you understand what they are and how interesting of a combo they are together." --Story Monsters, Olivia, age 11 "It's a Great Way to Introduce a child to reading...This one will make you smile."--The Book Faerie "These books not only have entertainment value but teach young readers about friendship...I highly recommend them for growing readers."--Imaginary Reads "This is part of the Grow & Read series for children. There is limited text, lots of graphics and an easy to read storyline. I like it; it's a great way to introduce a child to reading."--Journey of a Bookseller, Praise for The Nocturnals Grow & Read Series "The book hits the right --notes the story, the language, the chapter breaks at just the right time, the design. And the illustrations! Sweet, characterful. What kid doesn't want to be part of this friendship."--Lauren Wohl, MLS, author of several children's books including A Teeny Tiny Halloween. "I love this. Just the right length. I'm so glad the animals are described at the end of the book, and the Fun Facts will surely send readers searching for more information. GREAT!!!!" -- Pat Scales, Booklinks contributor, and retired school librarian. "Hecht, the author of The Nocturnals (chapter book series for upper elementary readers), and Rumur Dowling broaden the audience for the intrepid Nocturnal trio of Tobin (a pangolin), Bismark (a sugar slider) and Dawn (a fox), set at the beginning of their friendship one moonlit night. The three characters' personality traits are evident from the get-go: Tobin passes stinky gas when he is afraid, Bismark demonstrates bravado, and Dawn plays peacemaker. When the trio realizes they have the commonality of activity at night and sleep during the day... Bam! -- Instant friendship. Told simply using a beginning reader format, sentences are short and structured and action is limited. Liberal use of artwork by Waymond Singleton supplants description and allows Hecht and Dowling to move the story ahead using dialog. Artwork is dark and at times muddy looking reminding the reader that the story is set at night. Singleton's efforts at linking the "look" for the three friends with the artwork in the fictional series is good. The first in the Grow & Read Series, this one is a strong blend of reading sight words and decoding using phonics--very useful as a beginning reader." --Stephanie Bange, Educational Resource Center Director, Wright State University, Reviews for The Slithery Shakedown "A pangolin, a red fox, and a sugar glider are together again in their second nighttime adventure in the series... Short sentences and much repetition throughout assist early readers as they gain a sense of accomplishment on completing this six-chapter book... The vocabulary words likely to be new to readers are introduced, including squatted, haunches, shimmery, slithered, and summoned... Beginning readers will enjoy this tale and will cheer on the threesome who defeat a bully by using their words." --School Library Journal "[The Slithery Shakedown] does not disappoint... This tale uses plenty of important vocabulary words, easily decipherable within context, while showing how friends who stick together can facedown even the meanest bully... Vivid illustrations pop off crisp white pages... This successful endeavor manages to maintain the spirit of the original series while showing respect for new devotees." --Booklist Praise for The Nocturnals Grow & Read Early Reader Series "Hecht successfully set the stage for more adventurous outings down the road..." --Publishers Weekly "The series addresses bullying and empathy in an easy, accessible way, and the books are meant to be read aloud."--New York Post, Praise for The Nocturnals Grow & Read Series "This banter-filled early reader describes the initial meeting between shy Tobin the pangolin, brash Bismark the sugar glider, and kindhearted Dawn the fox...the pared-down narration and dialogue quickly establish their personalities...Hecht and Dowling successfully set the stage for more adventurous outings down the road." --Publishers Weekly "[The Slithery Shakedown] does not disappoint...

This description of the animals helps you understand what they are and how interesting of a combo they are together." --Story Monsters, Olivia, age 11 "It's whimsical and funny, and kids will laugh at the animals' bickering -- while also learning important lessons about friendship, teamwork and problem-solving" --SheKnows.com "They are very well written leaving the reader so curious and really wanting to know the end result. To have book 2 and 3 waiting will encourage this excitement and keep them reading" --Parenting Healthy "I like this series because it doesn't have the usual dogs or cats in it. There's a pangolin, a sugar glider, and a fox. Singleton's illustrations are great and give you a good idea of what the real animal looks like. This was a delightful read with great illustrations. The story will make your young ones smile and they'll learn more about the animals with the bonus facts at the end." --The Book Faerie "I thought this was a really cute book. My kids all read it right after we got it in the mail. It was easy enough for my 6-year-olds to read, but still entertaining for my 9-year-old (who loves all things Nocturnal.) This is definitely a book that will be read over and over again." --Literary Time Out "The characters of the Nocturnal Brigade are charming and entertaining, and this book about their first meeting is simple but enchanting. Besides meeting these unique figures, readers will also learn about each animal, what it means to be nocturnal, and more. But the education isn't heavy-handed, and is woven seamlessly into the context of the story (though a 'Fun Facts' section at the back of the book offers some good information for readers wanting to learn more)." --Novel Novice "The theme of friendship was recurring in this story, so [my son and I] talked a lot about friends at school, what it means to have a close group of friends, and to always be willing to lend a helping hand. We also discussed the differences between being a leader and being bossy- there's a fine line that can be hard for kids this age to understand. We also broached the subjects of fairness, social justice, kindness, and bullying. Amazing what kids pick up on at this age, just by reading a story" --Mommy's Block Party, Praise for The Nocturnals Grow & Read Series "This banter-filled early reader describes the initial meeting between shy Tobin the pangolin, brash Bismark the sugar glider, and kindhearted Dawn the fox...the pared-down narration and dialogue quickly establish their personalities...Hecht and Dowling successfully set the stage for more adventurous outings down the road." --Publishers Weekly "Physical characteristics, personality quirks, and the beginnings of their mutual trust and friendship are aptly portrayed through both words and pictures. A few 'Nocturnals Fun Facts' at the end should help with any factual queries. Whether listening, reading along, or launching individual attempts, satisfied readers will be ready and waiting for the next installment." --Booklist "The Slithery Shakedown is a quirky, humorous book great for beginner readers, with fun illustrations.
