Reviews
"[Puchner's] verbal jesting is infectious; children who enjoy The ABC of Fabulous Princesses may find themselves improvising prose poems at the bus stop or the dinner table; it s like a game of I Packed My Grandmother s Trunk but with more scope for whimsy and invention. This is not so much a book for lovers of birds, but for lovers of words."- New York Times Book Review"
