"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."

"There is nothing like a book for the young and young at heart that combines the excitement of travel with the gift of words. That is what author K. S. Brooks is able to do again with the latest installment of the POSTCARDS FROM MR. PISH series...

Like you would expect from any friend, Mr. Pish shares the sights and sounds with us as if we are right there, and even meets new friends along the way. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Postcards from Mr. Pish is a great way for of all to realize the gift of writing and the adventures that are all around us..”

"I love the tone of Mr. Pish's postcards - his voice is one that many kids will be able to relate to, and he provides just enough explanation to spark a child's interest and set off an interesting discussion with a parent or teacher.”
