Reviews

[Holli]

I love this series. It is heartwarming and artistic. This particular book is a good blend of the first 15 years. A real mix of all we have come to know and love.
I highly recommend it.

[Mary Catelli]

A collection of strips. Plus a few pages about the origin and history.

Light, sweet, with Rose and Jimbo, and their son Pasquale and his guardian angel, the neighbor baby Mimi, the cat Peekaboo, and the selfish Clem.

We have Peekaboo as a yogi master, Pasquale in his dreamship, getting ice cream cones, not winning anything in the lottery, and more.

Reread as part of the biannual bookshelf organisation.

I loved Rose is Rose and had assumed that Mr Brady was female until I read his forward. In reality even though Rose is the main character Mr Brady’s portrayal of the male characters is as warm and real as Rose is. I am still growing and learning.

I found the comics section in the children's room at the Lewiston Library. I love Rose is Rose cartoons because they are so cute and sweet. A whole book of them at once was almost overkill though, mostly because they keep returning to the same ideas. The ones with Peekaboo are my favorites.

[Kyle]

Okay, I read a lot of comics. Yes, even 'Rose is Rose' and 'For Better or Worse'.

[Jared]

Rose is Rose is one of the gentlest comics on the planet.

[Lyg]

A great comic book. Very warm and very funny.

[Lynn]

Incredibly sweet, perhaps unbearably so for some. But it invariably cheers me up and makes me think maybe the world is going to be okay.
