"Risor's soft artwork, in gouache and colored pencil, nicely carries the episodic stories, three in total, filled with gentle fantasy forest creatures with rounded shapes and expressive faces, and the autumnal forest setting and warm palette will appeal to kids who love Halloween but don't want to be really scared." - Booklist, for Welcome to the Forest: The Harvest Party
