Reviewer: Darleen Wohleil

"I loved this book!

 

From cover to cover, it had me. It’s one of those shelf-jumpers. You round the corner and it shouts, “Hey! Pick me!” The story by Jim Malloy is clever, creative, and insightful. His sensitivity transforms the timid into the powerful.

 

Matthew, our story’s leading character, has learned in the most ingenious way to overcome his fear, and dominate an otherwise intimidating situation. The inventive wording in this story will bring lots of chuckles and laughs. Hannah Stephey’s crackerjack illustrations take the tale over the top and into a crowning success!

 

From the layout to the extras found within, the entire experience keeps you wanting more."

Diane Donovan, Editor

"First in an exciting new series, The Look Cookers! is an award -winning, imaginative children's book about a boy named Matthew who is terrified of what he calls 'the Look Cookers,' kids who use their gaze to make direct eye contact and see all his private secrets!

 

Matthew decides to be an Eye Spy to avoid the dreaded Look Cookers on his first bus ride to school. Dazzling action portraits show Matthew and all his classmates in dramatic poses enhanced by Matthew's feverish imagination. He names different categories of Look Cookers, such as harmless Glance Dancers, the dreaded Blink Drinkers, a messy Gawk Stalker, a Peek Seeker, A Stare Darer, a bunch of Gape Scrapers, and the super scary Sight Biter!

 

Somehow Matthew survives his scary ride to school and just as the bus pulls up, he remembers his secret weapon as an Eye Spy: It is a pair of dark glasses! A fun part of the package of "The Look Cookers" is a separate, giant post card size Top Secret Certificate for the reader agent Eye Spy, with space for the Eye Spy's name!

 

Winner of a Mom's Choice Award honoring excellence, The Look Cookers! is an imagination-and-courage-inspiring book for readers ages 5-10."
