"Hilarity ensues and lessons are learned. . . . The mixture of whimsy, wordplay, and genuine sweetness will appeal to adults and children alike, as will the affirming messages about kindness, individuality, and open-mindedness. Ebbeler’s expressive, dynamic illustrations burst with energy. The prose is approachable for the target audience of early readers, with short sentences and simple vocabulary."—School Library Journal "the overall goofiness mixed with sincerity will win over many a reluctant reader. A kraken good time."—Kirkus Reviews |
