Critics Review

“Young readers will find the list of all the seed’s offenses amusing, and the illustration of the flies and stench surrounding him (he never washes his hands or feet) is sure to elicit laughter.” – School Library Journal (starred review) “Even the very youngest can follow along as the pictures provide evidence of the seed’s bad behavior and the reactions of those around him.” – School Library Journal (starred review) “This is a story that opens up dialogue about our reactions to life experiences, the consequences of our choices, and the chance to make a change for the better.” – School Library Journal (starred review) “This charmingly illustrated book would be a comical read-aloud and useful for class or family discussions about manners, behavior, and reputation.” – School Library Journal (starred review)
