They Told Us Something Wonderful Was Coming
“They Told Us Something Wonderful Was Coming makes me feel happy every time I read it (and I’ve read it several times now). You will think you know what’s coming. It will be a surprise; I promise! Bev Stone’s prose is sweet and I found myself wanting to turn the page to get closer to the answer, but hesitating so I could take in her bright and beautiful illustrations. Ms. Stone also understands page and overall book design. You are drawn in from the first page to the last. Its message is that of affirmation; the joy of life. This book is appropriate for any age; it is just uplifting.”

Snowpuppies and the Snowdeer
Snowpuppies and the Snowdeer, written & illustrated by Bev Stone, is the story of Tri, a very restless and curious puppy. The Snowpuppies series (this is Book 3) is about ten puppies who live in the snow. I love the whimsy of the story… Ms. Stone’s illustrations and page design are lovely. Once again, Ms. Stone writes a story in rhyme that is wonderful to read out loud (which I did several times). There is the lesson of not wandering off and staying close to home to be safe. But the rhyming is so beautiful; Snowpuppies and the Snowdeer exposes a child to the sheer joy of words. It will inspire a child to read — and perhaps bring out the writer in them.

Rumbly Grumbly
“Rumbly Grumbly, written and illustrated by Bev Stone, is the story of a happy little cloud who is faced with a very negative dark cloud. Ms. Stone is a now a 3-time Gittle List winner. (A book competition exclusively for indie children’s picture book authors.) There’s a reason for this — she is one of the rare authors who can consistently write great rhyming stories. Writing in rhyme is difficult and a precious few do it well. This book is fun to read aloud as the grouchy cloud “Grrrumbles,”Rummmbles,” and “Grrrrrrrs” its way through the sky. The little cloud comes close to being engulfed by the dark cloud’s negativity, but the Sun helps him remember his own true nature. He realizes that his positive disposition can be just as powerful. I’m a fan of Ms. Stone’s illustrations and page design. The lesson of not allowing others to impact your mood or how you feel about yourself is clear. Rumbly Grumbly ends with an adorable song sung to the tune of If You’re Happy and You Know It that kids will enjoy.”
