Reviews

You better watch out for this excellent early reader. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *
This series title will be a surefire hit with readers who love Mo Willems's Elephant & Piggie books. * School Library Journal *
The interplay between Barnett's verbal and Pizzoli's visual humor results in rollicking surprises at almost every page turn. * Kirkus Reviews *
Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tensionand admonishments of Jack. Pizzolis scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
