What They're Saying
Critics Review
“With a sharp graphic sensibility, vibrant design, and adept characterization, Pizzoli spins the simple premise into a sweet confection, ripe with broad humor.”– Booklist Online
“Pizzoli legitimizes childish anxieties but also slyly exaggerates each worry to highlight the humor - New York Times
The illustrations, done in a graphic, flat-color style with simple linework, recall the cheerful stylings of Ed Emberley and Roger Hargreaves. While Pizzoli uses the computer to arrange his compositions, he takes extra care to hand print the pieces. Done in a three-color printing, the silk screen offers a toothiness to the page, giving fruit, animal and emotions more substance. - Kirkus ReviewsChildren will love this hilarious book…The story has broad appeal, making it a great first purchase - School Library JournalAbout The Author
