The Red Ear Blows Its Nose: Poems for Children and Others, has received starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, and Booklist, a rare "trifecta" for any book, let alone a book of poetry. It has been described by a former US Children's Poet Laureate as "a dazzling tour de force" (Kenn Nesbitt). Often hilarious, always thoughtful, this debut collection from award-winning poet Robert Schechter proves that he is "clearly one of the most accomplished poets writing for children today" (Valerie Bloom MBE).

Complemented by S. Federico's charming illustrations, The Red Ear Blows Its Nose is destined to become a classic, standing alongside A Child's Garden of Verses, Now We Are Six, and Where the Sidewalk Ends on children's and library bookshelves for years to come.

School Library Journal, as part of its starred review, wrote:

"Children and adults alike will enjoy bouncing through the vivacious rhythms and the breadth of surprising, marvelous ideas. These are for reading out loud, to laugh at, to muse on, and to grow up with. VERDICT A robust addition to general poetry collections, sure to appeal to a wide range of poetry lovers."

Kirkus Reviews, in bestowing the Kirkus Star, called the book "masterful" and "a winner."
