REVIEWS
"My young students were engaged throughout my reading of Mausdrachen - Curse of the Laxness and were enthralled by the pictures, especially those of Mausdrachen. The softness of the pastel pictures is pleasing and adds to the tenderness of the story. The content of the story easily led to the conversation concerning people who seem to be lost in a fog, especially older people who struggle to remember common things they once knew. My students are hoping for more stories about Mausdrachen's adventures."

REVIEWS
"I'm hoping there will be more books in the future. I love the pastel colors, I feel that it calms the reader. It brings me back to when I worked in the Alzheimer's unit. It captures the fear I often saw in the eyes of those patients."
Amy T. - Waterloo, IA
“As an adult, I fully empathized with the author and characters in all they encountered. My 10-year old son could easily understand what Queen Dorothy was experiencing, as well as her loved ones, with the descriptive words and beautiful pictures. We enjoyed reading this together and would encourage anyone with children, who may have a loved one facing Alzheimer’s, to do the same."
Amanda H. - Harmony, MN
"Having worked with Alzheimer's patients, in the early stages, I feel the way Grandma got lost makes sense in Mausdrachen - Curse of The Laxness. I appreciated the connection the family had and their concern for each other."
Sherry H. - Menomonie, WI
