Critics Review
PRAISE FOR BALONEY AND FRIENDS
An Amazon Best Book of the Month
“Greg Pizzoli does it again! These delightfully funny friends will inspire young readers to write and draw their own stories.”— Dav Pilkey, creator of the Dog Man and Captain Underpants series
“Kids will gobble up Baloney!”— Ben Clanton, creator of the Narwhal and Jelly series
“Porcine-ly-perfect!”— Laurie Keller, Geisel Award-winning author of We Are Growing!
“Wild exuberance…will draw young readers right in. The breathlessness of the stories is given form in brightly colored, big-eyed characters, who…exude clear, accessible personalities. Pizzoli has managed to bring his picture book energy into comics form with a zing…making this the rare comic that serves as a fun and easy read-aloud. A sure bet for Elephant and Piggie fans who are ready for the next step up or want to make the move to comics.”— Booklist
“An amiable new graphic novel series…Pizzoli’s approachable art style communicates emotions and personalities through exaggerated facial expressions that should be clear to readers moving into chapter books.”— Publishers Weekly
“The warmth, goofiness, and accessibility make this an easy pick for transitioning readers.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Here’s hoping there will be a bunch of Baloney in the future.”— Kirkus
“A delightful read for early chapter book readers.”— School Library Journal
