Critic Reviews

"A funny, thought-provoking book that opens the door to discussion about book banning with younger children." -- School Library Journal, STARRED review
"The adult-child combination who reads This Book Is Banned together will have fun discussing the issue of "banning" in the hypothetical, thanks to the busy and engaging illustrations and text that await them. Young children will want you to read it to them over and over again... Strongly reminiscent of The Monster at the End of This Book." -- NY Journal of Books
"Haldar and Patton employ absurdist hijinks to explore the practice of book banning... By story's end, readers will likely have had at least one beloved subject ousted--potentially prompting conversation about real-world events." -- Publishers Weekly
"A zany, fourth wall-breaking exploration of book banning." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Well done and adorably funny... a really great introduction to the subject of banned books for little ones." -- Youth Services Book Review, STARRED review
