Starred Review School Library Journal

Reviewed on 1 May 2006

This lighthearted fantasy would be an excellent classroom read-aloud. The language concepts are deftly explained and the clever, wordplay-filled dialogue provides numerous examples. . . . The short text and lively cover art will attract young readers, who will howl at the atrocious puns—and repeat them at the earliest opportunity. Be prepared for an epidemic of juvenile punsters." —School Library Journal

Booklist

“Wordplay is at the heart of this funny, surreal adventure in which even the title is a pun. . . Teachers will find plenty of uses for this.”
—Booklist

The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“. . .the book could lend itself handily to curricular use – teachers in both language and visual arts could follow this quick read-aloud with a replication of Logan’s quests for oxymorons, anagrams, and palindromes, and even expand it with a few of their own favorite word tricks.”
