Reviews
“An enjoyable surprise of an antihero tale that delivers snark, readerly snorts, and the delicious reassurance of that something that initially seems frightening turns out not to be scary at all.” — Publishers Weekly
"Kids will be drawn in by the friendly, colorful imagery and hooked by the cleverly played rising tension and the sly progression of the unreliable narrator and her tale. Hannigan proves again to be a delightful new voice in the picture-book space with this must of a storytime selection." — Booklist (starred review)
"A beloved classic fairy tale with a new twist, this is frightfully fun and novel." — School Library Journal (starred review)
