Even though they don't credit Ed as the artist, he is still pleased that "Tiny Pie" is featured in the July/August 2013 "Every Day with Rachael Ray":

Art Show in Bozeman, MT
Ed's art show in Bozeman, Montana garnered this very nice review:
A mixture of opening your favorite book, standing in an intimate art gallery and settling in for a bowl of popcorn before a movie: “Tiny Pie,” by Edward Hemingway, is a show you need to experience.

Good Review of Bad Apple in Cracking the Cover
Here is a nice review of Bad Apple from Cracking the Cover:
The meaning of “bad apple” gets turned upside down in Edward Hemingway’s new picture book, “Bad Apple: A Tale of Friendship.”
Mac is a good apple. He shares his toys with the other apples and helps Granny Smith pick up after art class. One day, while Mac is taking a nap on the perfect pillow of green grass it begins to rain. When Mac wakes up, he finds he’s no longer alone — a little worm has made himself at home inside Mac’s head.
Instead of being bothered, Mac happily becomes Will’s friend. The fly kites and play in the dirt. The two are as happy as can be until they visit the orchard where the other apples make fun, calling Mac a rotten apple. Will can’t stand to see his friend hurt and leaves. But nothing is the same without Will. There’s a hole that Mac can’t fill — only his friend can do that.
In the end, Mac would rather be a bad apple with a good friend than a sad apple without one.
“Bad Apple” is a striking picture book. Bright colors and charming characters will instantly catch children’s attention. Edward’s clean and simple text is the perfect accompaniment to his bold artwork. Children will easily relate to this tale of friendship and can learn from Mac’s brave attitude toward bullying.

New York Times Book Review
The NYTBR gave "Bad Apple" a nice review:
For the full text, go here.
For a snack they can have Mac the Apple. Just kidding; that would be
mean. Mac, you see, is a “good apple,” as Edward Hemingway notes in his
provocatively titled “Bad Apple: A Tale of Friendship.” What drives Mac
to the alleged dark side? The answer is Will, a worm who takes residence
in Mac’s head. Ignoring hygienic and parasitical issues, the two become
instant best friends — playing in the dirt, flying kites, bobbing in a
lake. But the rest of the orchard is appalled. “Look at Mac!” the other
apples shout. “He’s got worms! Mac’s a rotten apple!”
Social norms force Mac and Will apart; surprisingly effective,
fruit-related pathos ensues before the two friends decide to buck
convention and like whom they like. Who cares what anyone thinks? You
and I have heard this story before, though not all children have, and
some could use hearing it again. Hemingway — Ernest’s grandson — works
charming enough variations on the formula to please even the most jaded
of adult readers, or at least me, and his cheerfully innocent
illustrations are affecting.

Nice Review of Bad Apple in Publisher's Weekly
Here is a nice review of Bad Apple in Publisher's Weekly:
http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-399-25191-7
http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-399-25191-7
Hemingway’s spreads recall old campground postcards of the 1950s, with rainbows arcing over cloud-covered hills and orange-tinted sunsets. It’s a good setting for this otherworldly tale of an apple named Mac who forms a close relationship with the worm who takes refuge in his head one day. Although Will the worm turns out to be a stalwart friend—he’s supportive, friendly, and full of good ideas—the other apples jeer: “Mac’s a rotten apple!” Tender interactions between Mac and Will (they read books together, and Will finishes Mac’s sentences) make it clear that Mac’s conclusion that he’d rather be “a Bad Apple with Will than a sad apple without him” is the right one. With sweet-tempered humor, Heming-way (Bump in the Night) concentrates less on the bullying and more on the intimacy Mac and Will share, allowing the two to retreat from the world to their cherished clearing on the hill. Although adults may detect a veiled romance—there’s just something about the way Mac looks at Will—the story works very nicely as a gentle celebration of friendship. Ages 3–5.

School Library Journal Review of Bump
Bump in the Night got a very nice review in the School Library Journal Review; here is an excerpt:
Look, I know you've got a lot of monster books out there to choose from. Not just blue ones either. But sometimes you want a monster story that can give you cool visuals and a fun plot without sacrificing style or message. This little number won't change the face of friendly monster fare as we know it, but when it comes to amusing both adults and kids alike it certainly has the edge. Fun. Cute. Hard to resist.

Review of the Bar Tending Guide
Here is a nice review of the bar tending guide. An excerpt follows:
Okay, so it isn't a cookbook. It's a bartending guide. But still, Hemingway & Bailey's Bartending Guide to Great American Writers is worthy of a mention. There are a million billion books on booze out there, but not so many that add a face and swirl of words to the tasty libation.
