"An aesthetic that sets this book apart from others in its achievement of a layered, cinematic feel. . . . Throughout, artful, expressive typography contributes to the overall success of the picture book, guiding the reader's voice to deliver a dynamic read-aloud that matches the visual drama of the art. A read-aloud treat for hungry audiences." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"The text is delightful and simple, using repetitive variations that naturally encourage participation in read-aloud settings, but it's the exceptional artwork that truly makes this a masterpiece. . . . An imaginative and completely immersive reading adventure." --Booklist, starred review "Readers will feel like they have a front-row seat to a marvelously imagined and sculpted toy theater." --Publishers Weekly "Packed with descriptive language, punchy short sentences, and a deliciously menacing refrain ("Rabbits, rabbits! Where are you?"), the text is tailor-made to be read aloud. A simultaneously funny and relatable portrayal of big feelings, splendidly executed in clay and light." --Horn Book MagazineAbout the Author
