Reviews

I enjoyed the author that shared his vision with us. I felt Mr. Riley made writing sound easy but challenging.

Richard, Teacher, Edgewood Elementary (Brooklyn Park, MN)

I love how the books tell a reality based story in such an engaging, child-friendly way. I know that parents and caregivers are always looking for ‘teachable moments’ and these books fill that need. In addition, these books are on-trend with today’s parents who are looking to place more emphasis on tradition and learning.

Lisa Mancuso, VP Marketing Fisher Price

This book tells a story about real people and how they met Dr. King. A really neat way to learn about history and civil rights. Two of the characters are my mother and father!

What a fun and up beat book for the young and old alike. I sure enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next adventures in book 2

I thought he was great!

I recommend the Papa Lemon books to all kids, parents and grandparents. Join Papa Lemon on his Magic Train and travel back in time on a joyous journey making family, culture and history come alive. The author, Lehman Riley, has created books which grandparents, parents and kids should all read and enjoy together.

Papa Lemon reminds us of the power of our imaginations to engage us personally. The Magic Train becomes our vehicle into the lives and experiences of those who have come before us. Now that I have traveled with the Little Wanderers in to 1963 America, I am anxious to go on another journey. I recommend your series for schools, and other organizations and community programs, and Papa Lemon as a storyteller, not just for the Little Wanderers, but for all our children.

I thought he was great. The kids were interested, are excited to read his books, and asked good questions. I thought he did a great job explaining how he got started and how history is tied to the books. Great African American male role model.

Janet, Teacher, Edgewood Elementary (Brooklyn Park, MN)

You have the making of a great educational tool with the series, and in my opinion, this is just what the children’s educational market needs more of. There needs to be more entertaining storylines, realistic characters, and real historical facts provided in print. I can’t see how you can lose with those elements. As a matter of fact, I believe the characters and the stories should come alive on the small screen.

Susan Manning, Publisher/Editor-in-chief Positive Teens

It was great that the kids got to meet someone who is presently writing books. I like the fact that he brought articles that were inspirational or relevant to his writing. The kids had lots of questions to ask him. Thank you for arranging this.

Linda, Teacher, Oak View Elementary School (Maple Grove, MN)
