Down with the Rules

Nicole Rubel's wonderfully twisted sense of humor and amazing illustrations will bring laughter to everyone who ever wanted to break free of adult rules on proper behavior. If you are, or ever were, a child who wanted to fly in the face of convention, and who of us hasn't, then do yourself a favor and pick up this book. The illustrations more than double the fun. You will find yourself wanting to savor every detail. Loved the book. If you want a laugh, you will too.

Grody's lessons teaches kids values

Nicole has come up with another winner in her series of children books. In "Grody's Not So Golden Rules", values important for children to learn are presented in counter-example. By seeing the results of making poor value decisions, kids learn, as Grody learns, the true benefit of "golden rules". Written in an easy to read format and richly illustrated with Nicole's own unique style of artistry, this book can be enjoyed by a wide range of children.

Grody's not so Golden Rules

Nicole Rubel once again displays her artistry and humor with Grody's not so Goden Rules. Grody is every parent's worst nightmare. Tired of his parents and sister constantly telling him what to do, he puts together his own "rules" and reaps what he has sewn with hilarious and apt results. Thankfully, his last rule is not to follow his rules. Grody learns his lesson and readers will laugh and learn with him. Rubel ventures into a new realm artistically with Grody. She uses ink, markers, colored pencils, watercolors and strategic splashes of collage. The result is wonderful, with each page a treasure hunt to find the various collage pieces. My personal favorites are the orange fuzzy slippers. With this book, Nicole Rubel offers children and parents a visual bouquet and a zany new character to love. Grody is a hit.
