Review Quotes

"This mid-level beginning-reader comic is silly fun. The cycle of introducing and reintroducing the team allows for repetition that adds to the humor. . . . The panels are rich with detail, but the illustrations also clearly support the plot for less confident readers."--The Horn Book

"An introduction to the comic medium for early readers, this sequential narrative allows participants to predict each new outcome, no matter how silly the results. Hamilton's pen-and-ink sketches feature delightfully animated characters as well as detailed cityscapes. . . . The perfect blend of quirky and clever, this graphic novel for beginning readers"--School Library Journal
