5 out of 5 starsThe perfect little book, for kids and adults. Great price for a well-made book with lots of photos. I especially appreciated all the tips for how to do your own City Critter watching. These tips are extremely helpful regardless of where you live.
I plan to give this book to two children I know, ages 7 and 12. They will love reading about the animals around them and I imagine it will spark their own adventures. -

5 out of 5 starsThis lil book is so helpful. Finances are a topic that tend to make my eyes glaze over but Peg provides information in a way that's concise yet easy to understand, and actually engaging to read. I'm really glad i got a copy!

5 out of 5 starsThis zine was super helpful as a first glance into long term financial stability and investing. It's very easy to read and comprehend. Peg gives exact examples from her own experience that make it really easy to just try what she's done if you don't know what else to try. She also offers additional reading suggestions for a more thorough understanding. I'll probably read this one a few more times to feel more secure in my understanding before venturing out further.

5 out of 5 starsThis book will be our new go-to for any upcoming graduate -- high school and college alike! Also, families and caregivers would benefit greatly in helping young adults learn the principles Peg Cheng simply and practically offers in this book. The earlier these guidelines can be learned and applied, the better. And don't stop there - Peg helps readers of all ages learn the basics to finance. It's never too early or late to get started with these principles toward the path of financial success!

ABOUT PLAID FROG PRESS
We’re Peg Cheng and Marcus Donner, the team behind Plaid Frog Press, a Taiwanese-Mexican-German-American-owned publishing company based in Seattle, Washington.
Our company is named after our pal Froggy (who's also our CFO: Chief Frog Officer) and our mottos are READ GOOD STUFF and WRITE GOOD STUFF.
We create our books, zines, cards, and stickers in our cozy home studio in Seattle. We love all the various parts of the publishing process from creating the product, designing it, printing it, and shipping it with the help of great companies like Mixam in Illinois, Sticker Mule in New York, and EcoEnclose in Colorado. All of our stuff is printed in the USA and shipped to you with love in eco-friendly, recyclable materials.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we're staying positive by writing, drawing, and photographing beautiful things. Makers gotta make and making stuff helps us feel better! To find out where we'll be tabling next, follow @plaidfrogpress on Twitter and Instagram, or subscribe to Peg's newsletter at https//www.pegcheng.com/contact.
If you like our stuff, please FAVORITE our shop and WRITE A REVIEW. Every review is like GOLD to us and every kind word keeps us going. Thank you for your support and thank you for shopping indie!

Frequently asked questions
Gift wrapping and packaging
We don't offer gift wrapping but if you're ordering a gift for someone, we're happy to decorate the shipping envelope or box with cute stickers and can also enclose a personalized note for your recipient. Just let us know what you'd like us to write in the NOTES box at checkout.
Do you offer USPS tracking of my order?
Yes, we do. But please be aware that some items are too small or light to qualify for USPS tracking, so on some orders we'll only be able to tell you the date it shipped.
Why does it cost so much to ship books to countries outside of the U.S.?
We're bummed about this too! Please know that we charge what the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) charges, and sadly, the price to ship books overseas is shockingly high. We've also checked with FedEx, UPS, and DHL and they charge even more so we're sticking with USPS.
Because our zines, cards, and stickers are light and flexible, they can be sent at international "letter" rates which makes shipping them way more affordable.
We also offer ebook versions of some of our books and zines so that customers residing outside of the U.S. can read our books at an affordable price.
If you know of ways to ship books internationally at cheaper rates, contact us at hello {at} plaidfrogpress.com. We welcome any and all tips. Thank you!
I have more questions after reading your policies.
We're open to answering any and all questions. Email us at: hello {at} plaidfrogpress.com.
