Reviews

School Library Journal

“With a plethora of details and powerful humor, this title will be a popular segue into STEM sessions. Expect an explosive storytime.”—School Library Journal

Publishers Weekly

“Chico Bon Bon’s fourth picture book might be his funniest yet. . . . Monroe’s manic cartooning will have kids laughing from start to finish.”—starred, Publishers Weekly

Kirkus Reviews

“Monroe’s impish illustrations are busy with delightful touches . . . and her deadpan humor should please adults as well as kids. The silliness still feels fresh, even in Chico’s fourth outing.”—Kirkus Reviews
