Really like the colour pencil style colouring
Just got this in the mail today, read it while i ate lunch.
It's cute, the art was pretty cool, definitely better than some of the other children's books littering our house, although the character's faces were pretty much the same (mostly the thin lines like the eyes/nose/mouth - and they had this really odd expression on their faces sometimes). I really liked looking at the pictures. They were bright, engaging, and there was lot's to look at...which is really important for a book that seems to be geared toward toddlers.
The story was paced too quickly which made the climax really weak, but, imo it seems more directed at toddlers so this really isn't that big of a deal. I think you could have upped the age on it by a year or two by slowing it down a little and including more involvement from the main characters (which i'm assuming were the two children on the first page) and maybe implying who the thief was throughout the story (which would also help illicit more sympathy to the thief). The inclusion of "noise words' was a nice touch and the reading was smooth which is good since, most likely, this book will be read aloud.
Overall i think you guys did a great job and I could see this turning into a series if everything works out.
