“Babydoll’s Honor is a true delight to read. Kent Walsh has a charming way with words. His simple and colorful style invites the reader into the life of a young boy, Kevin Walker, where the reader is happy to remain. The friendship between Kevin and his horse, Babydoll, warms the heart. Anyone, young or old, who has ever dreamed of a special friendship with a horse, will not want to put down Babydoll’s Honor until the entire book is read.”

“Babydoll’s Honor: A warm and interesting recollection of the life and times of a young boy and his enduring love of his horse. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.”

“Babydoll’s Honor will warm your heart. With a dog named Nishka, a horse named Sneeze, and a loving nuclear family living simply in a trailer (with hopes for a real house someday) on 32 acres in rural Washington, this story and the author’s direct and unassuming style will draw you inexorably under its spell. And when you’ve finished it, a tear of joy might escape your eye for Kevin Walker, his remarkable horse Babydoll, and the way he transformed the small town of Yacolt.”
-- N. W. Miller, Editor, WordWise Publications, LLC

Dustin and a Mouse Named Cody in “The Mouse That Stirred on the Night Before Christmas” by Kent D. Walsh “Uncle Kent” is a magical, captivating story.

After receiving the book, Dustin and a Mouse Named Cody in "The Mouse That Stirred on the Night before Christmas" I picked it up to preview it before I read it to my grandchildren, I couldn't put it down. It was easy to follow, cute illustrations and a delightful story. The next week, I read it to my grandchildren, Marty who's 7 years of age and Alyssa who is 6 years old, they were really in to it, and thoroughly enjoyed the story. We can't wait to get the next book by Uncle Kent.
