Lively and packed with wordplay, the prose will especially appeal to early readers who are beginning to explore idioms and abstract language. Episodic in nature, this peppy, character-driven comedy validates childrens perspectives . . . Breezy and light, featuring playful explorations of language. -- Kirkus Reviews
