What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A sweet ode to life’s small joys.” —People Magazine
★ “Smith has joined the oddball goofiness of his earlier books with the heart and soul of his more recent stories, and the result is a book as physically beautiful as it is moving…. A buoyant, bristly ode to joy.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ “Centering irrepressible joy that’s a force of nature itself, the work lovingly portrays an ‘amazing… weird… wonderful’ world that’s worth experiencing anew.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ “A delightful book intended to encourage readers to appreciate the simple beauty of everyday things….“—School Library Journal, starred review
“The message here is not just to find the beauty in the world but to relish in its absolute weirdness and wondrous possibilities.” —The Bulletin
“Smith again explores a world of friendly monsters, talking animals, and personified inanimate objects, here celebrating childlike curiosity, wonder, and appreciation.” —The Horn Book
“Stickler delights in his surroundings and invites readers to revel in their own fresh perspective on the world….A gleeful take on the great outdoors.” —Booklist
