What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This tale of comeuppance employs page turns to ratchet up tension, and will likely hold listeners rapt during read-alouds…. Cutler tees up and then tickles reader expectations in this deliciously dark tale in which a mischief-maker ultimately gets (ahem, becomes?) its just desserts.”
–Shelf Awareness“As in Jon Klassen’s Hat books, there’s no last-minute rescue, but most child readers will find this narrative hilarious rather than horrifying.”–Booklist
“Young bibliophiles will enjoy turning every page of Cutler’s silly story as they will be looking to see who, if anyone, survives until the end…. Great fun as a read aloud and for newly independent readers, this tale is sure to bring the giggles.”–School Library Journal
“Readers will enjoy flipping back and forth to see which children have vanished as the not-monster denies all involvement in the rapid and reliable disappearances…. Kids will gobble this tale up.”–Kirkus Reviews
