Industry Reviews
"Prolific they may be, but poet and illustrator have never done better work than this hilarious, inventive cousin to Edward Lear's nonsense botany and zoology."
Kirkus Reviews (07/15/2002)
"the verses are witty, the complex illustrations are inspired."
New York Times Book Review (12/22/2002)
"There's something here for just about every poetic need--for readalouds, for performances, for readalones, for reading with a flashlight at sleepovers, for taunting and amusing younger siblings. Ultimately, this is a stunning achievement--Carrollian-level poetry with art to match--that's sure to provide delights for years."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/01/2002)
