“M.L. Moyer’s engaging story follows a young dog who doesn’t understand why every animal he meets gets upset when he simply states that he “is looking for Trouble.” Kids will have a grand time being in on the joke as Teddy gets more and more mystified by the reactions he receives. The story is humorous and fun, and S.W. Moyer’s illustrations are superb. I was transfixed by each of the intricately painted, magnificent outdoors panels accompanying the text. From meadows and winding forested trails up to ridges and the Opal Mountain Highlands, each of these arresting images is suitable for framing and mounting on a child’s bedroom wall. Add to that the compelling images of Teddy, Trouble and the animals Teddy meets, and you have a picture book worth spending hours with, enjoying the story and marveling at the beauties of nature Teddy experiences during his adventure. This book is special and not to be missed. Looking for Trouble: Adventures of Teddy and Trouble is most highly recommended.””

“Moyer’s story is timeless and engrossing. It introduces young children to the concept of both domesticated pets and wild animals roaming free in their natural habitat. There’s an engaging quality to young Teddy as he interacts with each animal – even when his interactions prove to be fruitless in his quest. Looking for Trouble is also instrumental in teaching young children about being accountable to someone and the responsibilities that come with being an older sibling. S.W. Moyer’s illustrations are beautifully colorful and diverse, with each habitat showing a different element of nature from the beauty of a flower-ringed pond to a grand old oak tree to a ridge of conifers. Each setting is masterfully presented in colorful majesty, with each animal brought to life by expression or action. A gorgeous story exquisitely presented, Looking for Trouble is a great start to what promises to be a wonderful series for young children.””
