...

The paintings look so real because of the light and dark shadows. I think this book is one of a kind. I recommend this book, not only because of what the story is about but the illustrations (they're awesome)!!!!

(It Was Amazing And Awesome)

"Wow" I said in my head as I had just finished the book A SIGN. When I closed the book I thought it was amazing and awesome. Chris Soentpiet used a lot of double spread pictures and was very creative. Also Chris Soentpiet's pictures came to life. The story A SIGN is about a little girl who wants to be all these different things and dresses up as them. You might laugh at some things that the little girl dresses up as. I can't tell you what she dresses up as because I want it to be a mystery for you. You will be surprised to find out what she really will be at the end.It is not any of the things she dresses up as,I can tell you that. Chris Soentpiet did a good job on this book. I give this book 5 stars!

[someone who likes this book]

I like your book A Sign because I think it's incredible how you do the shadows on the front cover. I also like the way the sun on the girl on the front cover. I like the illustrations because they look so realistic. I think your books are amazing. I give this book five stars!

Bianka From Ashley River Creative El.

Mr. Soentpiet brought the illustrations to life. They remind me that my favorite color is yellow. I like that Mrs. Soentpiet modeled for the girl on the cover of the book. In the book, The Sign, the mother took the girl to the circus and she wanted to do tightrope walking. Chris did incredible drawings and they look like photographs.
