Kids will line up for a chance to play.--School Library Journal
The spirit of Evel Knievel is alive and well in this retro game show, restructured for the storytime set. ...Kids will eat up the humor. ...All the interaction of an Herv Tullet book, with a flying clam, a hyperactive monkey, and a cow all thrown in for good measure.
--Kirkus Reviews
