Praise for Totty: - Best books for Kids & Teens 2010 Chosen Title, CCBC - "A newly hatched sea turtle, a baby giraffe anxious for independence and a little elephant who wants more than anything to help his mother . These are the endearing characters in Simply Read Books' board book series, Simply Small, by Paola Opal." Review, Canadian Children's Book News, 2010 - "The simple illustrations in this sweet book will charm little ones and keep them returning to its pages again and again. - Children's Book Corner - "Opal uses repetitive language as well as familiar, expected patterns that help young children feel comfortable with the content and excited about the unfamiliar and unexpected." - Resource Links - "A charming tale that's just perfect for the youngest readers" - ABC Best Books for Children Praise for Saffy Looks for Rain: - "During the typical Book Baby day, a few of the babies will look at the book, some will look all over the place and others will be wandering around the room while mom's try to gather them up. Not this day!! Saffy was a hit. Every baby in the room was transfixed by the story - possible attracted by the bold lines and solid colors. It was a great day and I plan to try others by Paola Opal in the near future!!" - Litlebook's Spot - "Bare beauty is what you find in the Simply Small Series book, Saffy Looks for Rain by Paola Opal.

The story is sweet and almost haiku-like." - Word of Mouse Book Reviews.
