"Sure to be a crowd-pleaser in story times, classrooms, and laps everywhere." --School Library Journal on On My Way to the Bath
"Readers will be thrilled with the ending." --Kirkus Reviews on On My Way to the Bath
"The precocious, emphatic narration and escalating back-and-forth between Livi and her mother will enliven any read-aloud. There are plenty of books on the shelf covering kids' reluctance to get into the bathtub, but Maizes, making an assured debut, and Paraskevas suggest there's room for one more." --Publishers Weekly on On My Way to the Bath
"Honestly funny from start to finish . . . Bed-based procrastination is nothing new, but Livi's imaginative play takes the experience to an entirely superior level." --Kirkus Reviews on On My Way to Bed
"The . . . cartoon illustrations are vivid and full of detail. . . . Children will enjoy the humor in the pictures as much as the text." --School Library Journal on On My Way to Bed
