“It’s easy to correct a kid’s bad behavior but Sir Badalot offers a soaring, positive path as an answer to one’s selfishness. Bouncy verse is offered by Rachel Jankovic and Forrest Dickison’s illustrations are generous and loose, not unlike the great children’s books I was raised on by Bill Peet. This is great work.” -Doug TenNapel, creator of Earthworm Jim , The Neverhood and Nickelodeon’s Catscratch
" Sir Badalot and the Cranky Danky Dragon rocks. This book reminds me that there is hope, even though we all are fighting our own personal Cranky Danky Dragons. We love this story. As an artist, I love dragons and I love seeing other artists’ takes on them. Forrest Dickison’s drawings are fantastic. When I grow up I want to draw like him! Our grandson loves the book! I especially love the rhythm and story behind the text. Thank you, Rachel and Forrest.” -Thomas Fluharty, artist, educator author/illustrator Fool Moon Rising
“Now here’s a sticky story that is as fun as it is formative! As a dad, I’m always reading aloud, and that means I’m always looking for good books that are fun to read aloud--books where I can hoop and holler, and huff and puff. Rachel Jankovic and Forrest Dickison have joined forces to create a picture book that does it all.
Sir Badalot and the Cranky Danky Dragon
needs to be in every home where children or grandchildren roam!”
-Kenneth Padgett, co-author of
The Story of God with Us
and
The Forgotten King
"Forrest Dickison’s artwork leaps off of the page and reminds me of classic Disney art.
Sir Badalot
is great for readers of all ages!”
