Working on this book has been one big fun-making experience. Rich has also illustrated 12 other children's books, including beginning reader series, Tiny the Big Dog (Penguin). His joy is to help kids develop creatively and he has invented a simple drawing game (Pick and Draw.com) and an activities book as a fun tool that now have a following around the world.

Publisher's Weekly called Book 1, The Aliens Inc. Series "amusing" and "engaging and accessible." http: //www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-62944-021-7 SLJ says, "This fun chapter book series is out of this world." School Library Journal Review says Book 2: Gr 1-3-Shipwrecked on Earth and desperate to make money, an alien family from the planet Bix decides to make a living by opening Aliens, Inc., an intergalactic event-planning business master-minded by the nine-year-old alien, Kell Smith. In this continuing adventure, Kell makes the startling discovery that he has zigzag fingerprints. Worse, Mrs. Lynx and the Society of Alien Chasers know about the fingerprints and they are on the hunt. To add to the stakes, Kell's mom has just laid a beautiful green egg, Kell's brother. Can Kell keep his fingerprints and his brother under wraps? Kell's observations of Earth and details about life on planet Bix are amusing. The black-and-white line art further enlivens an engaging, accessible story. Kell's struggles to fit in will resonate with readers. Reminiscent of Ray O'Ryan's "Galaxy Zack" (Little Simon). VERDICT This fun chapter book series is out of this world.-Paula Huddy, The Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN School Library Journal, 2/1/15. ALIENS INC. SERIES "This fun chapter book series is out of this world." School Library Journal 2/1/15
