Recenzii
"[Gansevort] was a really good kid's book. The characters are especially lovable to my daughter, the animal lover. The fact that Kat stood up for her friends when they were in trouble with a bully also appealed to my daughter, who has been known to speak up for those who are in need of a friend too. I really liked that message in this book: You don't leave your friends to deal with a bully on their own if you can go in and help them...This is our first Salty Splashes Collection story, and I am sure that we will soon tackle the others." ~ Tracy Tureson, Tracysnook.com and GoodReads, 5/22/13
"Gansevort and his Court [was my favorite book] because Kat sticks up for her friends. I loved it because Kat was mean in the fist [sic] place then got over it. I am glad it helps people learn to read...Kat and Sammy [were my favorite characters] because in Dreamy Drums I liked Sammy. In the uthers [sic] I liked Kat cause she was nice...Thank you so much for the books that was so nice. I hope you make a movie and I can see it." ~ Carly, 8, California
"Gansevort is an imaginative and quirky ending to Kat, Beardsley, Sammy and friends' adventure...The illustrations continue to add to the fun of this book; bright, detailed and animated. The different characters' personalities really shine in this last episode as Kat reveals a little trickery and Beardsley appears to be a good friend. Overall, a wonderful and imaginative trilogy of children's books that would definitely make a splash in any elementary library." ~ Jennifer Szoch, Book Reviewer/Presenter 5/18/13
"I just wanted to touch base and let you know that I presented the entire Salty Splashes Collection at a couple recent workshops and the librarians and teachers loved it! They were saying it was a perfect trilogy for children! Just wanted to pass on some good feedback! Thanks so much." ~ Jennifer Szoch, Book Reviewer/Presenter 7/22/13
"Gansevort, The King and His Court, was my favorite book because it had a lot of action and you were always thirsty to turn the page and know what's going to happen next. Kat is my favorite character because she is confident and very knowledgable and a risk-taker." Yasmin S, 11, Houston, TX 4/15/13
"Gansevort, The King and HIs Court, rounds out Bingham's trilogy with the introduction of the ruthless Gansevort and his yellow-eyed cohorts in the next chapter of Sammy's perpetual adventure. With their vibrant illustrations, animal characters, and clever humor, Bingham's stories are sure to bring home laughter and excitement. Most notably, young readers will be reminded of the importance of teamwork and acceptance." ~ Stella P., Goodreads Reviewer, English Major, Anaheim, CA 5/2/13
"I liked these books a lot. Let me list what I liked about them: (1) They are adventure stories, but not too scary for younger kids; (2) They rhyme in a natural, not forced, way; (3) They are actually a series...and you all know that I love series; (4) The characters are all animals and, oftentimes, unlikely friends (e.g., a dog and a cat); (5) They bring in new friends in each book; (6) They are kids who will be kids, so real kids can relate to them; (7) The illustrations are hand-drawn, very colorful, and super neat. I think the best part of these books is that they actually read like fiction and would appeal to a wide range of ages...I have to admit that I had never heard of Children's Illustrated Fiction before these three landed on my doorstep. But now that I have, I'm a big fan. This is a very cool concept and done really well. I will definitely be reading these books to my grandkids. Count me among JZ's fans!" ~ Lloyd Russell, The BookSage, Los Gatos, CA 4/16/13

Comentariile autorului
What Inspired Salty Splashes:
My Shih-Tzu puppy brought me joy during a lonely time and inspired me to begin writing in earnest after a long dry spell (Samira is the Sammy character in Salty Splashes; I turned her into a male because she's such a tomboy). The writing process evolved quickly thereafter, drawing further inspiration from my surroundings in Santa Barbara: namely the Channel Islands (where my cartoons have their initial adventures) and the bobcat that lives in the canyon behind my home (he became Beardsley, an integral character).
The Importance of Children's Literacy:
I began reading before Kindergarten and grew to take it for granted. After becoming an adult literacy tutor at my local library, I learned of the prevalence of illiteracy among adults and children. It was shocking. One of the statistics I cite on my website reveals 4th grade is a turning point for children's literacy. Salty Splashes books were written with this age group in mind, and those even younger. The "hybrid" component of these books combine picture book appeal with chapter book fiction, providing an important new vehicle for early to mid-elementary school children who are on the cusp of independent reading. There's a void in the market place for this type of book. Children's Illustrated Fiction, as many parents, teachers, and librarians have validated since the release of Salty Splashes, is exactly what they've been looking for. Actual testimonials over the last two months specifically point out how 2nd and 3rd graders view picture books as too young and boring, but are intimidated by text-only chapter books. Cartoons and adventure stories in Salty Splashes are getting these kids to read. This will help keep a lid on illiteracy.
The Power of Cartoons:
Not all cartoons speak to chidlren, even though all children seem to be drawn to colorful illustrations. Salty Splashes cartoons were written to fill what I believe is a void in wholesome entertainment for kids, akin to the Looney Tunes and Peanuts cartoons I grew up with. The power of cartoons is how relatable they can be to a child and how this familiarity may be used to gently introduce important life lessons that can be more easily understood from the youthful perspective of a child. Parent and teacher feedback has been strongly positive regarding the moral messages and deep symbolism in these books. In fact, parents are using the character's predicaments as talking points to let kids vocalize their own views on how trouble could be avoided and recognize the importance of loyalty, respect and team work. This makes reading time even more of a bonding experience, and it also spreads out the enjoyment of each book by allowing it to be broken down into bite-size pieces.
