Reviews
"With jaunty, clear-line ink cartooning, Miller gives the goings-on a sketch comedy feel, while Dyckman provides read-aloud-with-relish repartee." -- Publishers Weekly
"Little ones will enjoy the repetitive elements, while the minimalist design choices, such as single-tone colors and a flat illustration style, along with the characters' cartoonlike expressions, give the book a comic feel. A kooky tale of unlikely friendship." -- Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Ame Dyckman:
★ "Dyckman's debut offers pitch-perfect pacing and gentle humor." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "Dyckman's pared-down prose gives the role-reversal story just enough drama, humor, and robot-inflected dialogue... to keep children entertained for many re-readings." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The tone of the wry, bemused narrator is perfect... and the target audience will likely be eager for a repeat listen." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Dyckman has a knack for combining humor with emotional truths." -- Common Sense Media
