Parents’ Choice Award Winner 2015 for ‘Land Shark’

The Florida Sunshine State Young Reader Award Jr. list 2015, for ‘There Was An Old Dragon Who Swallowed A Knight’

Best in Rhyme Award 2015 for ‘There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight!’

“There’s a vintage feeling to the digitally manipulated pastel illustrations that would make Little Train and his family seem right at home alongside Hardie Gramatky’s Little Toot and Watty Piper’s Little Engine That Could. The story, too, has a classic feel to it, as Little Train’s journey follows a home-away-home plotline…All aboard for a great storytime pick.” — Kirkus Reviews for ‘Follow the Track All the Way Back’

“Klostermann’s debut is a rollicking and warped Medieval take on the well-worn cumulative rhyme. Prolific British animator and illustrator Mantle’s expressive and bright cartoon illustrations of the red, horned dragon (and the contents of his stomach) are a perfect match.” — Publishers Weekly for ‘There Was An Old Dragon Who Swallowed A Knight’

“An amazing new adventure series perfectly pitched to draw in reluctant readers, and full of excitement and originality.” — Read it Daddy for ‘Dinostars and the Planet Plundering Pirates’
