Review Quotes
"[A] bittersweet, slimy story...[with an] unconditionally loving ending....The book feels like a big, generous embrace."―Kirkus Reviews
-- (7/15/2015 12:00:00 AM)"Cartoonish, watercolor art and bouncy, lively rhymes make for a droll, entertaining tale. With a positive, supportive message, and a raucous delivery, this one will make storytime shine."--Booklist
-- (9/17/2015 12:00:00 AM)"Ross's deliciously silly ink and watercolor illustrations are a delightful complement to Jeanne Willis's bouncy rhyming text. . . . This is a fun and whimsical choice for storytimes about individuality, self-esteem, and love."--School Library Journal
