Critical Reviews

★ "You better watch out for this excellent early reader." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension--and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli's scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
