Reviews

"A well-executed exercise in irony." Publishers Weekly 01/07/2008 Publishers Weekly

"Kaczman's flat, stylized illustrations are handsomely modern...rich with symbols, words and pictures to compare and contrast..." Kirkus 3/1/08

Kirkus Reviews

"The story ends cleverly...watercolor-and-ink art effectively uses color to establish the contrast in luck." Booklist 3/15/08 Booklist, ALA

“…it's silly, it's fresh, it's told at kid-level, it teaches without preaching…and it throws many bones to the adult reader.” The Washington Post —
