What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Every child loves to read a story about children behaving badly; this one is well crafted with a fun element of exaggeration that will appeal to even strict rule followers.” —School Library Journal

“An appealingly absurd cautionary tale.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Brimming with mischief and silliness, this playful romp will inspire plenty of giggles and makes an excellent choice for read-alouds looking to turn up the fun.” —Booklist
