**STARRED REVIEW**
"Pinkwater fans know to expect absurd situations, wry humor, and zany mayhem, and this latest picture book does not disappoint. . .Renier’s vivid gouache illustrations feature bold, in-your-face hues and busy, detail-filled compositions that extend the text and invite protracted viewing. . .This ridiculous adventure will be catnip to feline-lovers and those with an offbeat sense of humor."

* Booklist *
The bright and busy gouache illustrations are chock-full of offbeat, whimsical details that tell parallel stories of their own. . .Flamboyantly fanciful and so much fun! * Kirkus Reviews *
The wealth of meandering character-driven asides and the story’s densely colored gouache drawings are packed with details both on point and amusingly extraneous. It’s worldbuilding at its most absurd. * Publishers Weekly *
Tongue-twisting text, odd and lovable characters, and Renier’s vibrant, gouache, mixed-media-esque illustrations make a delightful fever dream that will please both the grown-up reading the books and the kiddos listening. . .This is Pinkwater at his best, clever, charming, and weird in the best possible ways. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
“With jolly maximalism and Shrinky Dinks shadings, this is a book that invites children to take off their thinking caps, relax and revel in pure silliness. * New York Tim
