The Wonder of Under ... is a story that encourages curiosity, imagination, and resourcefulness. Throughout the book, Paxton searches under lots of things and finds what might seem like trash to a lot of people, but not to this preschooler! ... Parents and caregivers will enjoy reading this book out loud as the words are rhythmic (but not rhyming) and predictable. Children will enjoy imagining right along with Paxton what could be “under.”  - Debbie Arnn, TX

"What child hasn't wondered what is under the rug or his bed? In this cute picture book, the author shows the youngest readers not only what they might discover but also what they can do with their found treasures. The lyrical prose and wonderful illustrations are joined together in a book that children and parents will enjoy." ​​ – Carol Baldwin, NC
