“I’ve just finished reading the Carl Sommer’s, ‘Sommer Time Story Books,’ listed on the enclosed flyer [they are selling the books].  The lessons are all so simple but powerful. They are, without a doubt, the best children’s books I have ever read.  Today I read, ‘Can You Help Me Find My Smile?’, to my three year old.  He loved it!!  These six books will be enjoyed by all children two to ten years of age--as well as adults.  The adorable color illustrations convey amazing depth of emotion that speaks to every child in vibrant color.”  (Bold is in the original.)
Kathi Hudson, Vice President of Citizens for Excellence in Education, author of numerous books

“Thank you for the opportunity to read several of the children’s books you have written.  I read about four of your books to my eight year old daughter, Kelsey.  Kelsey and I thoroughly enjoyed your work.  Kelsey told me that she liked the stories[,] and when I asked her what she liked about them, she stated, ‘I liked that they had a message.’”
Jane E. Hattan, State Executive Management Assistant for Michigan Department of Education, Lansing, MI

 “Every child in the nation should have to read the Another Sommer-Time Story books to get the moral values.  The illustrations are gorgeous!  I think all schools should have them, they are very well written and I would recommend them to any child.”
Carol Tyllick, Grandparent

 “We really liked the good moral to the story.  They are fun to read, fairy-tale type stories with a modern meaning.  It's good because the children have something they can understand and apply.  These are perfect stories for teachers to read because they are interesting.”
Dr. and Wanda Fontanier, Parents

 “Carl’s Sommer’s Series Another Sommer-Time Story is outstanding.  Congratulations to an author who understand the importance of imparting values that last a lifetime (and promote healthy attitudes.)…If you’re looking for books that impart wisdom…you’ve found some of the best.”
LifeWorks Magazine Online, lifeworksmag.com

 “Thank you for your quick response to our request for more of your books.  We are so grateful for the wonderful character values taught through your stories.  Last year for Christmas we bought our very active son, Christopher, the toys he had asked for and some of your books.  After all the presents were opened and wrappings thrown away it was a thrilling surprise for us to find Christopher not playing with the new toys, but curled up on the sofa reading your books.  We have read them over and over throughout the year.  We were not surprised when he gave us his Christmas list this year… a new bike and some Carl Sommer books!!!  We can’t wait to see him open them up Christmas morning!”
Theresa Costanza, Mother

“I just finished reading the Sommer-Time Story series to my three year old daughter.  I thought she would be too young for the books but she listened to every word!  Tied up in Knots was especially timely for us.  After reading it we discussed how by sharing and cooperating the donkeys were both able to get what they wanted.
“The pictures were also wonderful and my daughter loved reading me the books by looking at the illustrations.  I wish there were more books for children with the clear moral stories that these have.”
Angie Casavecchia, Service Coordinator, Missouri Department Mental Health
