Critics Review
“sumptuously illustrated”
“A fabulous choice for storytime; pair it with Jon Klassen’s I Want My Hat Back (Candlewick, 2011) for surefire laughs and cries to ‘read it again, please.’” * School Library Journal *
“Miyares, in his first outing as both author and artist, follows in the footsteps of Jon Klassen … A winning, mischievous read-aloud.” * Publishers Weekly *
“sumptuously illustrated” * The Wall Street Journal *
