Like his other early readers, this one is bound to delight fans of Mo Willems and Dr. Seuss. Sure to elicit giggles from emerging readers.
– School Library Journal, November 1, 2024
This masterful romp makes the very most of its limited vocabulary, entertaining even adult readers while offering beginners humor, suspense, and just plain fun. Laugh-out-loud fare for burgeoning readers and a rollicking celebration of the rebellious spirit.
