There aren't enough words to praise this book! Super cute! Imaginative! Sweet! Adorable!
By The Bumble Girl
Maxwell is a ninja! His mission today is to get the cookies and milk...a ninja must be quick, but quiet. He must be the master of danger and surprises.Let no obstacles get in the way of accomplishing his mission.I feel that this book can encourage small children to use their imagination not only in playtime, but to use their 'ninja skills' in everyday situations too - especially with small ones that are still learning to talk, or have a hard time using their words. Being a ninja requires patience and strategy. Max is not only trying to get the cookies, but he also has to get 'the cup' and milk... not an easy task with a little sister around. Once Max masters his ways, he decides to share what he's learned and accomplished with his younger sibling. A very sweet ending indeed.I cannot get over adorable this book is!The illustrations are so different and original - most picture books are expected to be cutesy with either pastel-like or monochromatic colors. NINJA isn't! It's dark and mysterious, just like a ninja. The illustrator was not afraid to go where no other children's picture book has gone - with the unexpected dark color scheme and pages. But still managed to keep the little boys adventure in a light tone in a way that a small child can relate too and not be afraid by it.Extremely fun and light-hearted! I highly recommend this book to children ages 2 and up.Especially if you have a little ninja on the loose... look behind you!

By Kathleen Hackett
Perfect book for aspiring young ninjas. My 4 year old son loves this book. We bought it today at the author's book signing and we have already read it 3 times! Fun story, fabulous illustrations! The author/illustrator is incredibly talented and kind. He took time to talk with each child and draw individual pictures for them. This book would make a great gift for any young child!

We received our copy of Ninja! today. My son and I read it at least 4 times in a row and then once more right before bed. He absolutely loves it!Arree Chung is very talented and channels his inner child well. I can't wait to see more from this new author.
