Editorial Reviews

“[T]he highlight of this book was the incredible, fascinatingly grotesque collage illustrations that are at once intense and playful. These images are just so unique, I couldn’t stop looking at them. Really, it almost felt like an art book. … fun-to-read.” - Dr. Amitha Jagannath Knight

“Delightful book … humorous rhyming text … bright illustrations” – Ana Rodriguez for School Library Journal 2012
