Reviews

The Horn Book Guide

“The story’s crisp writing and humorous digital art (an image of the animals in a tower formations illustrates ‘they seemed a little tense’) carry the day.” —The Horn Book Guide

Publishers Weekly

“Debut author Head has a fine sense of visual comedy. His bold black outlines and graphic environments’ geometric shapes establish a mock noir mood, and his cast has an endearing air of eager anxiety crossed with cluelessness—bringing to mind a cross between Sandra Boynton and Aardman, the British animation studio responsible for Wallace and Gromit.” —Publishers Weekly
