“[A] fast, fun, and rhythmical [series].”

Booklist
“The sound of the words, the exaggeration, and the nonsense scenarios will appeal to kids. . .”
—Booklist
School Library Journal
“Descriptive words of many kinds are presented in bouncy, rhyming text. . . The text bounces, too, with the words printed in wavy linves and unevenly sized letters. The adjectives are colorfully highlighted and readers will see their function demonstrated in a wide variety of contexts.”
—School Library Journal
The Horn Book Guide
“The adjectives in the text are printed in energetic, creative, and colorful fonts.”
