What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A highly enjoyable read-aloud whose characters are both eccentric and loveable.” * Publishers Weekly, starred review *“A goofy romp that will fit right in with elementary school science lessons.” * Kirkus *“This gem tells a fun, slapstick story while teaching the basic physics of buoyancy and Archimedes’s principle. This story will liven up any science class and also hold its own as a spirited pleasure read.” * School Library Journal *
