Review for Dotty's Topsy Tale - Stories for Children Magazine

2009-09-07T06:06:00.001-07:00

"Donna doesn't disappoint us in this newest tale in the Topsy Turvy Land collection. From her smooth rhyme to wild imagination of the animals living in Topsy Turvy Land, children will want to visit Dotty and her friends again and again. Kevin Scott Collier's artwork is vivid and brings each page to life adding the right blend of colors to accent the words written by Donna in Dotty's Topsy Tale.
