Praise for Schnozzer & Tatertoes: Take a Hike!:

"Funny and lovable...this entertaining story moves along quickly and never sags. Two excellent new characters off on their first quest."-Kirkus

"This is a joyous, uproarious, early-reader graphic novel that has a laugh count that's as high as the first InvestiGators graphic novel. Take A Hike! operates in that early graphic novel space that lower to upper-elementary school kids crave. It's relentlessly silly, has chapters to provide confidence to those young ages, full-color illustrations, and effortlessly entertains readers whose minds can easily be distracted." -Daddy Mojo
