*Irving and Me:  selected as the top 10 children’s books in 1967 by New York Times
Kirkus Book Review- Artie Granick is the funniest fall guy since Herman Wouk’s “City Boy” – highly recommended.


*Danny and the Dinosaur Goes to Camp:  Kirkus Book Review, 1996
Danny and his dinosaur (who, although he has been Danny’s friend since 1958, have never been given a name) are off again, this time to summer camp, and everyone has a wonderful time, including readers.  Danny’s dinosaur makes everything more fun – racing (he needs to take only one step to win), rowing (he’s the boat), hiking (he can offer all the tired hikers a ride home), eating a lot of toasted marshmallows (guess who eats the most?), or sleeping under the stars (no cot is big enough for a dinosaur).  Hoff’s simple prose and cartoon illustrations make a delightful book for beginning readers, with enough illustrations to ensure new readers success.  Every collection will have room for this welcome addition to the popular series
