Reviews
The New York Times Book Review
“The art is cartoony, in pen and ink with bright watercolors, and the book’s layout borrows from comic strips as well; the narrative is cleverly visualized in a succession of softly edged panels teeming with delightful action words, like ‘raar,’ ‘flick,’ ‘splosh’ and ‘guzzle.’ There’s a lot to look at, and everything is important… I love this book so much I want to eat it up.” —The New York Times Book Review
School Library Journal
“The antics are over-the-top, and the creatures are more funny than scary, making this picture book a natural for storytime fun.” —School Library Journal
Publishers Weekly
“The hilariously preposterous chase unfolds quickly in Fardell’s panel illustrations, and Sarah shows bravery, ingenuity, and determination every step of the way.” —Publisher’s Weekly
Kirkus Reviews
“Things could be said here about the importance of persistence and the glories of sisters, all being true, but it might be best to see this book as a clever eye-catcher with a nicely tied-up story—there’s nothing at all wrong with that…. A very merry, lighthearted entanglement.” —Kirkus Reviews
