5 stars! . . .The enchanting Tales of Mr. Snuggywhiskers: The Autumn Tales (Volume 1) is such a delightful fantasy story . . . There is never a dull moment. One of my favourite scenes is visiting Squirrel's home while he is on his honeymoon, due to its good description. Mr. Snuggywhiskers is rather intelligent for a mouse, and Hallie and Cory are cool. The cover illustration of the tree home is beautiful.- - Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite.
I found this book very easy to read and appropriate for children in third and fourth grade. The illustrations are simple and childlike while amazingly fresh and different. I cannot imagine a child who likes magical places not being pleased at discovering this book. -- Judge, 23rd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards.
