“Fay’s potato-and-paint artwork gives tidy graphical verve to this laugh-out-loud story of survival superpowers, told in fittingly fact-laden, serio-comic prose.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
“The humor is spot-on, informative, and self-aware, and background details like Gavin donning SPF 9999 or Colin wearing mittens and drinking hot cocoa are pure fun. Give this one to kids who love learning about the weirder things nature has to offer. Backmatter includes a list of resources for further research, more information about tardigrades, and a glossary of words used in the text.” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review
