Meet Lonnie's new friend in the desert.

Accomplished authors in the field of children’s literature and a panel of youth judges endorsed Lonnie the Loon Learns to Call as a “book worth story_monster_seal_FINALdevouring.” Here is part of Five Star Publication, Inc.’s news release:

Lonnie the Loon Flies South for the Winter Earns Story Monster Approval:

                  CHANDLER, AZ (March, 2016) – The judges of the Story Monster Approved program, which recognizes accomplished authors in the field of children’s literature, have spoken, and Lonnie the Loon Flies South for the Winter by Barbara Renner has earned approval.

The colorful, kid-friendly Story Monster Approved seal attracts the attention of young readers much more than a sticker intended for adult scrutiny. Kids know when they see the Story Monster Approved patch it means children their own age enjoyed the book and are recommending they read it, too. How do they know that? Because after books pass the first round of rigorous judging – which is done by industry experts, the books are then judged by a panel of youth judges who must also endorse the books before they can receive the official seal of approval.
