Reviews

Pizzoli's zingy ice-pop colors and dramatically varied page compositions take home the blue ribbon. - New York Times

[A]nother winner from Pizzoli - Publishers Weekly

The illustrations, done in a graphic, flat-color style with simple linework, recall the cheerful stylings of Ed Emberley and Roger Hargreaves. While Pizzoli uses the computer to arrange his compositions, he takes extra care to hand print the pieces. Done in a three-color printing, the silk screen offers a toothiness to the page, giving fruit, animal and emotions more substance. - Kirkus reviews

With a sharp graphic sensibility, vibrant design, and adept characterization, Pizzoli spins the simple premise into a sweet confection, ripe with broad humor. - Booklist online
