"I am a reading specialist and writer by trade. ...The 'postcards' are charming and informative...as is the character of Mr. Pish. This book takes us to various locations in the US and Canada and, using stunning photography and simple, likeable prose, gives us a chance to visit each place...  I thoroughly enjoyed this book (and sharing it with my daughter), and I will definitely be using it with my students.

Brooks does a great job of sharing interesting facts through a character and voice that kids can relate to. ...the pen pal aspect is pretty ingenious."

"Children will enjoy learning about the world with Mr. Pish...  Mr. Pish's sense of adventure and his curiosity about the world is infectious.  He also seems to have an uncanny ability to know just which places children will find interesting.  I love reading his books to kids, and I am looking forward to his next journey.”
