Críticas:

* "Crafty Chloe is the creative cousin of Clementine. Ginger haired, with an adorable taste in free-to-be-me outfits and a heart of gold, this young heroine finds original and kind-hearted solutions to big problems.... DiPucchio is to be commended for providing a simple and strong story with a loving solution that will surprise readers. Strong pacing and fanciful illustrations full of happy yellow highlights capture a delightfully determined and winning child. Ross gives Chloe a sweet individuality that makes her memorable and likable. A corresponding website provides crafting ideas and instructions. Required reading for any child going to a birthday party."

--Kirkus Reviews, November 15, 2011, *STAR

"This vignette features a young girl dealing with feelings of inadequacy, peer pressure, and birthday-gift one-upmanship.... The girls' facial expressions are priceless.... A pleasant girl-centric story ideal for those beginning to make the leap from shorter picture books."

--Booklist, December 15, 2011

"DiPucchio's writing has an amusingly wry conversational tone.... Ross's snappy illustrations, with high-spirited pencil lines touched with digital color, depict wide-eyed, redheaded Chloe at home in a detailed crafty girl's paradise where tubes of glitter, sewing patterns, and scraps of paper litter the floors, and Chloe's dog, Bert, is an expressive and supportive assistant."

--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, January 2012

"This book loudly shouts that everyone has talents and encourages children to develop those things they do well.... In Chloe, the author has created a gracious spirit who gives of herself. Illustrations support the story's playful mood."

--Library Media Connection, Recommended

Reseña del editor:

Fancy Nancy meets Martha Stewart in Crafty Chloe, the adorable DIY star of a new picture book series!

When another girl has already purchased the most perfect birthday gift for Chloe’s friend Emma, Chloe decides she’ll make a present—something you can’t buy in a store. But crafting isn’t easy, and it’s beginning to look like she won’t have a great idea in time. Fortunately, with a good doodle session and a whole lot of glitter to inspire her, Chloe figures out just the thing to save the day—and with a little help from her trusty glue gun, she just might save a friendship, too!

This inventive and irresistible picture book will have young readers itching to reach for their googly eyes.
