Praise for The Milkman:

"A charming book that harks back to the era of milk home delivery. ... This highly re-readable book reminds children of the joy of doing a job one loves and the delights of the early-morning hours. It may also invite them to reminisce with their great-grandparents about "the olden days" and what other community jobs have vanished from the current scene." - School Library Journal

"By the end of the story, any number of children and their parents will want to move (traveling back in time 50 or 60 years) into Mr. Plimpton's neighborhood, where the pace is slow, the cars are vintage, and even the sun has a smile on its face." - Booklist
