NERP, says our hero. Nerpity nerpity nerp! (That's 'NO' to you!)

Reviews

Reul's clever use of nonsensical monster vocabulary plays very well against the expressive green and yellow countenances of her charming and sympathetic characters. Even the scaly pet's personality pops, especially when eying the foul contents of its food bowl. The creativity of the menuboth the names and the neon imagesis half the fun of this homage to dinnertime chaos. Will persnickety children drool after their own squishalicious masterpieces Yerpetty yerpetty yerpy yerp! Kirkus (Starred review)
