"Staake's
illustrations (are) a stylistic collision of Russian constructivism
and pop art, (and) explode with energy playing off of basic geometric
shapes and angles and swimming in saturated colors."
-- Publishers
Weekly
"Staake's
(picture books) are notable for the sophistication of their graphic
design. Simple enough to hold the attention of toddlers, these
colorful, computer-enhanced images are also visually interesting
enough to please preschoolers and parents as well."
-- American
Library Association
"Bob Staake's
modern, crisp illustrations ... practically jump off the page."
