Critics Review
” Though Maynor plays it all for laughs, the story should spark conversations about scarcity mindset.“– Publishers Weekly
“Maynor’s writing is flavored with wit and wrapped in moral subtleties. Even for the anti-confectionary crowd, a believable, relatable story that avoids a saccharine conclusion.“—Kirkus, starred review
”Though Maynor plays it all for laughs, the story should spark conversations about scarcity mindset.“—Publishers Weekly
“In this funny glimpse of political losses and gains, Alice finds out what it’s like to hold all the cards—especially when the cards are lollipops. This cheerful picture book is an entertaining read and has only one agenda—fun.“—School Library Journal
“Maynor’s humorous morality tale is accompanied by Player’s vibrant, rainbow-hued bubblegum-pop illustrations, with readers following Alice’s dilemma as she tries to remain fair but thoughtful and kind, as well. A unique story about decision-making and sharing that showcases the sweet and salty consequences of winning big.“—Booklist
