You better watch out for this excellent early reader. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension--and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli's scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers. -Publishers Weekly, starred review
