Hillenbrand’s expressive canine cartoons, boldly outlined in black against solid-color backgrounds, practically jump off the page. Learning to read isn’t so scary when Mighty Reader’s around. An em-paw-ering read for young pups. —Kirkus Reviews
This new title by the prolific author/illustrator combines overcoming the fear of reading aloud and how authors get their ideas and develop their books. -School Library Journal
