"Valero’s captivating illustrations feature deep, saturated colors and an adorably rotund bear with a magnificently expressive face. They also include some unusual angles, such as a bee’s aerial view and a caterpillar’s glimpse of a gaping bear mouth as it’s about to be eaten. The lack of words does nothing to limit the bear’s escapades, with the actions and expressions made so clear that the glyphs are not always needed (although they certainly provide a lot of fun). Valero has created a book that is utterly unique—a wonderful romp through the woods that ultimately proves words are not always necessary to tell a rich, rewarding story. This delightful, wordless story encapsulates adventure and natural beauty through its charming illustrations and glyphs." (Full review)

"Wander, with or without glyphs, is a book that sparks the imagination of children of all ages. The bright, bold illustrated pages are perfect to catch a baby and toddler's attention. For kids three and older, the illustrative story will undoubtedly be a source of joy and serve as a valuable tool for cognitive development, allowing them to express their thoughts and interpretations of the pages."
