Critics Review
“Here be monsters—and they are monstrously fun!“—starred, Kirkus Reviews
“The bright artwork, created with acrylic paint and spray paint, contains whimsical details and makes great use of visual humor. With sparse text and large-scale illustrations, this is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschool storytimes that is clever enough to entertain adults, too.“—starred, Booklist
“Children who get their hands on this oversize, glossy delight, filled with made-to-linger details, will be lucky ducks indeed.“—starred, Publishers Weekly
“Teachers may find this book to be a humorous read aloud; children will enjoy the comical facial expressions of the characters and the scene of the underwater world of the lake. Reviewer Rating: 4” –Children’s Literature
