What People Are Saying:

“It’s easy to correct a kid’s bad behavior but Sir Badalot offers a soaring, positive path as an answer to one’s selfishness. Bouncy verse is offered by Rachel Jankovic and Forrest Dickison’s illustrations are generous and loose, not unlike the great children’s books I was raised on by Bill Peet. This is great work.” -Doug TenNapel, creator of Earthworm Jim, The Neverhood and Nickelodeon’s Catscratch

"Sir Badalot and the Cranky Danky Dragon rocks. This book reminds me that there is hope, even though we all are fighting our own personal Cranky Danky Dragons. We love this story. As an artist, I love dragons and I love seeing other artists’ takes on them. Forrest Dickison’s drawings are fantastic. When I grow up I want to draw like him! Our grandson loves the book! I especially love the rhythm and story behind the text. Thank you, Rachel and Forrest.” -Thomas Fluharty, artist, educator author/illustrator Fool Moon Rising

“Now here’s a sticky story that is as fun as it is formative! As a dad, I’m always reading aloud, and that means I’m always looking for good books that are fun to read aloud--books where I can hoop and holler, and huff and puff. Rachel Jankovic and Forrest Dickison have joined forces to create a picture book that does it all. Sir Badalot and the Cranky Danky Dragon needs to be in every home where children or grandchildren roam!” -Kenneth Padgett, co-author of The Story of God with Us and The Forgotten King

"Forrest Dickison’s artwork leaps off of the page and reminds me of classic Disney art. Sir Badalot is great for readers of all ages!” -Kazu Kibuishi, author of the Amulet Series

A Frother that Won't Turn Off? Great Service. Lost Package. Great Hot Chocolate. Worth It!
Color: Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I saw this item (or one similar) on an Alton Brown short video. He recommended a frother and I thought "what the heck? If AB recommends a uni-tasker, it must be something good." The item came in, loaded with batteries and all. I removed the plastic tab that interrupts the power and the unit kicked on. I wasn't pressing anything. It just started and would not stop. To return the item is not worth the time or money, especially since none of the "free return" options are anywhere close to me. Called the company and told them what had happened. I spoke with a very nice woman and after I described what happened, her response was not faux sympathy, but "that shouldn't have happened. We'll make it right." She offered not only to replace the unit, but send a second one free of charge. When I declined the second one, she said "take it for your troubles. Give it to a friend if you want." The order was sent out. Tracking via USPS was sent. The package was supposed to be delivered on a Friday, which was great as we were supposed to get cold temps and snow. I was anticipating making frothy hot chocolate. Suddenly the tracking showed the package being delivered. It was not. You cannot ask the USPS to find a package for 7 days and my local post office doesn't answer the phone. Disappointed, I started to make dinner and looked out the window and I could see my postal carrier's truck a block away. I waddled over to the truck and talked to her. She said "I know where it is." She had delivered it 3 blocks away. Same house number, but different street. She went and found the package, brought it to me and Bob's your uncle. That night I made hot chocolate and used the frother. I was surprised that the long shaft did not vibrate or waiver. It stays true. The speed is fast, but not overly so. The thing made a difference. It seemed to make the hot chocolate "lighter" and smoother. I threw a piece of chocolate in the mug, waited a little and then frothed again using the frother. No issues with the frother. I now had frothy, really chocolate-ly hot chocolate. For kicks and on the advice of a friend, I added a tablespoon of peppermint schnapps and used the frother again. Best hot chocolate from a mix I ever had. The frother worked better than advertised. Woo Hoo!! Because the first one didn't work, I have to knock a star off of the rating for the product. But the customer service and actual accountability of the women with whom I spoke is refreshing in the world of product support and customer service. The item is really good and would recommend whole heartedly.

Worth it!
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
It works great! Makes a big difference and my coffee is better! Easy to use and clean. The stand is perfect to keep it accessible. Only thing I would warn customers is to pay attention to instructions on how to insert batteries.

High Quality and Surprisingly Powerful
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
The Pros: Unexpected Power: I usually know exactly what to expect with the products I order, but this unit really blew me away. It is surprisingly powerful and handles everything much better than I anticipated. Premium Batteries Included: It was a great surprise to find that it came with Duracell batteries. Seeing a name-brand battery included really speaks to the overall quality of the product and shows they aren't cutting corners. Solid Build: From the moment I set it up, the unit felt sturdy and well-constructed. It is rare to be this genuinely pleased with a purchase right out of the box. The Cons: Operating Noise: Because the motor is so powerful, it does produce a bit more noise than some weaker units. It isn't a dealbreaker, but it is noticeable during extended use. Bottom Line: This is a high-quality product that exceeded my expectations in both performance and presentation. The fact that it comes ready to go with reliable batteries is a huge plus. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Pleasantly surprised.
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
Honestly, I bought this because it was on sale and I needed to add something to my cart to get one day free shipping. I had zero expectations and thought I'd use it when I travel and won't have access to my espresso machine but I'm blown away by what it can accomplish in its small form factor. It took 30s to froth the milk and it was well-incorporated into the milk, not with just foam on top and milk at the bottom. I could have the frothed milk all day. It's easier to clean than the steam wand and it does plant-based milk cold foam!! It blows the Ikea one out of the water for about the same price point. Glad I stumbled into it!

Works great for daily use, just be prepared to replace batteries
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I use this every morning to mix protein powder into my coffee, and it works well. It is quick, easy to use, and does a great job blending everything smoothly without clumps. For the price, it’s a great little tool and has definitely been worth it for daily use. The only downside is that I do have to replace the batteries fairly often, about every 3–4 weeks with regular use. Overall, it’s a very convenient and effective frother, especially for the cost. I would recommend it, just keep extra batteries on hand if you plan to use it daily.
