Praise
"This is a wonderful book. If I could have given it 6 stars I would have. Be sure to 'read' the pictures along with the words. Fun, wacky humor, bright illustrations, crazy relatives, penguins and monkeys, plus a lot of information about weather and different hemispheres."

"LaVigna Coyle's talent is immense. Her books always touch a special place in a child's heart. And in adults also. Bruce MacPherson's illustrations are wonderful caricatures of the people that inhabit Bettina's world. Children will love them."

"Thank You, Aunt Tallulah! is the fun story tale of the young Bettina in her first summer camp experience at Camp Oogie-Waa-Waa, and is corresponding through letters with her witty aunt Tallulah who lives in Antarctica. Captivating young readers ages 4 to 8 with an Bettina and her aunt's exchange of fun packages ranging from clothing to film and pictures, Thank You, Aunt Tallulah! tells two parallel tales, one of aunt Tallulah and her husband Reginald in their exploration of the South Pole, and the other being the young Bettina's interesting life at summer camp. A unique addition to school and community library picture book collections, Thank You, Aunt Tallulah! is very highly recommended as thoroughly entertaining and humorously original."
