Sugar Lump: The Orphan Calf

...unpretentious book that children will enjoy and learn something in the process. Mrs. Simmons has stated that this book grew out of a desire to write wholesome fiction for children. If that is her main objective, she has succeeded well. -- Denton Record-Chronicle, October 2, 1994Sugar Lump, the Orphan Calf is an upbeat, positive story that shows how love, encouragement, and hard work can make a difference. Parents will love the message found in Sugar Lump's story, and children will love to hear and read it again (and again.) -- The North Texas Parent, October 1994It's kind of a cow-version of Charlotte's Web. The chapters are funny, well paced, with good illustrations and honest storytelling throughout. -- The Albuquerque Tribune, June 15, 1995The book, illustrated by Denton artist Lin Hampton, is getting thumbs-up reviews. -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram February 4, 1995
