Steinberg playfully breaks the fourth wall to address a diverse cast of children depicted in digital cartoon art … Inspired and dynamic, this one will stir burgeoning writers to try their hand at storytelling. Kids will want to listen to this one again and again for creative inspiration.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“With engaging humor and quirky illustrations, this read-aloud friendly book will enliven ELA instruction about story elements with young writers trying their hand at creating narratives … This amusing book reveals a contagious enthusiasm for creating original stories with strong characters, problems, and solutions.” –School Library Journal
