"My mom bought your Valentine Boxes book at a Barnes & Noble Bookstore. My
fifth grade class had a Valentine box contest and I won first prize! I used your Robotic
Maid on page 77. I won a Chinese checkers set. I had a tough time deciding what to make.
Thanks!"
—Angela Arcuri, Satisfied Customer, Illinois

"I am a children’s librarian at a medium-size public library in Ohio. We have
recently purchased several of your books, the Valentine School Parties, the Halloween
School Parties, and the Valentine Boxes. The last one caught my eye as it came across my
desk, just in time for my daughter’s second-grade party. I brought the Valentine
Boxes book home and told my daughter, Sarah, to look through it and see what she would
like to build. She decided on The Castle of Sweet Love. Sarah received many nice
compliments on her box and said, 'No one had one quite like mine.'"
