What They're Saying
Critics Review
PRAISE FOR Over-Scheduled Andrew:
“Andrew’s interests threaten to get the better of him in this tongue-in-cheek take on an all-too-common plight […] For children, a whimsical word of warning. For their parents, a pleasant surprise that this time they’re not made out to be at fault.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Spires uses levity to explore valid lessons that are typically seen as counterintuitive to a lot of children’s books: Sometimes, it’s OK to say no. Sometimes it’s necessary to give up and call it quits. At an age where children are learning what they are capable of, it’s equally important for them to recognize their limits.” –The National Post
“The story is fast paced but funny. The illustrations include comical details that are great to look at. This is yet another fantastic book by Ashley Spires.” –The Caterpillar Corner (blog)
