Reviews
School Library Journal
“Children will love the large, colorful illustrations that clearly show each animal’s pain and anger in a fun and cartoony way. The text placement is fairly interactive with the pictures, and there are plenty of onomatopoeic words (‘Bink!’ ‘Ker-rang!’ etc.). Good for reading aloud and sure to be popular with the storytime crowd.” —School Library Journal
Kirkus Reviews
“Willis’s text is nicely streamlined for maximum slapstick effect and much abetted by the clever compositions of Reynolds’s illustrations. His brightly colored animals look soft and cuddly, like stuffed toys, but they move like classic Looney Tunes characters. Sure to trigger young listeners’ laughter as well.” —Kirkus Reviews
