Critics Review
A Junior Library Guild Selection
“Witty and surprising, this title dances flawlessly along the border between outright humor and smart, spot-on social-emotional teaching… This book is everything children need in a book: smart, funny, relevant, and surprising—and highly recommended.” —School Library Journal, starred review

An excellent catalyst for classroom discussions, the book is sure to provoke giggles while getting kids to consider equity in an age-appropriate way … Superb conversation starters for youngsters who fret about fairness—in other words, all kids.” —Kirkus Reviews , starred review
“The subtle difference between things being ‘even’ and ‘fair’ can be a difficult concept for
